Every so often my A1 Mini has a failure to feed from the AMS. Usually I just go and remove the filament from the AMS and refeed it, and that fixes the problem.
Yesterday, I had a failure to feed, and after trying to feed multiple times, I finally removed all of the ptfe tubes from the print head and found that two different colors of filament were stuck in the print head. I heated up the print head and removed them and that fixed the feeding problem.
(Note: I am not using BBL filament.)
Now for the BAD NEWS.
While trying to diagnose the above problem I tried to manually feed filament from the printer controls. During this process I had to select the spool. That resulted in my having to set the filament type for the spool before it would let me extrude.
This caused me to have the problem with printing because the printer/Studio thought that I had the wrong filament types.
Note: this is not the image that I saw. Mine had one set to PLA.
I could not make any changes in Studio. I finally manually set all slots to PLA from the printer control panel. It still would not work.
My solution was to actually change my filament profile type in STudio to PLA, even though it was previous correctly set to PLA+, which is not listed in the dropdown.
I never had a problem with this before I changed the setting on the printer.
the documentation about managing filaments is not very good
I was not able to change the ams filament type from Studio (Orca Slicer)
Editing a filament at the printer caused an automatic feed cycle
I do not know how to clear the printer settings so that I can go back to the way I was working originally.
That is actually how its done. When you first import the object into your slicer BStudio, you assign it a material to print with. Those settings from the material are the ones your printer will use to print. If you set everything as PLA you wont be able to print in petg from your AMS. Same goes for external.
The only way you would be able to print would be, to trick your AMS into thinking it has PLA instead of PETG in the slot.
Which is silly to begin with.
The way to do this is cancelling the print window, going to the Device tab and assigning the right filaments and then print. Unless the print started you are able to change filaments unload and load, change colours etc. once the print started or the printer is busy you have to cancel or wait.
I have the same problem, the filament seems to have been changed, but the filament does not change the filament filament, it changes the place where it needs to be processed with white with black, it changes the slots or there is no problem, you can see in the video I have thrown, if anyone knows the solution to this, please help, thanks.
I see that in the video the printer monitor was showing white. Can you confirm what the BS or BH software is showing?
It seems really weird for the printer to mistakenly use a different filament than it’s supposed to, especially with the AMS.
Unless there are some modifications in your printed design, maybe painted in by mistake?
I had it defined as black and white in BH and in the same way in printing, the problem is that it printed some of it and the rest of it printed in a very absurd way.
