PS1 MicroSD Card Error and AMS Communication Problems

I have a Bambu Lab PS1 with an AMS and am using Bambu filament. I tried sending a print to the printer from Bambu Studio on my desktop and received the following error message:

MicroSD Card read/write exception: please reinsert or replace the MicroSD Card {0500-C010 111214}

I have rebooted the printer and removed and reinserted the MicroSD card several times, but I continue to get the same error.

Initially, I suspected a bad SD card. However, when I went to the printer and checked the card using the printer’s touchscreen, it appeared to be reading the card correctly and displayed all of the card’s information and statistics.

I then tried printing one of Bambu’s preloaded models (the scraper handle). The printer began loading and went through its normal pre-print routine. However, I then received an error message on my desktop telling me to load filament into the Bowden tubes at the rear of the printer. I’m assuming this means the printer wasn’t recognizing the AMS.

What’s confusing is that Bambu Studio shows the AMS as connected and correctly identifies the filament types and colors loaded in each slot.

One other thing worth mentioning: when I opened Bambu Studio this morning, it prompted me to update the software. Against my better judgment, I went ahead with the update. I’m not sure whether that has anything to do with the problem, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

At this point, I’m getting seemingly unrelated error messages at every turn. The printer has worked flawlessly for the past 11 months, and nothing has changed with the hardware or setup that I’m aware of.

I’m not sure whether I’m dealing with a failing MicroSD card, an AMS communication issue, a problem caused by the Bambu Studio update, or some combination of these.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or have suggestions for troubleshooting? I’m particularly interested in figuring out whether these errors might be related or whether I’m dealing with two separate problems. Any suggestions on how to get this printer back up and running would be appreciated.

I have the same issue. My print stopped, showed after that an update (beta), and now the printer stops every print in the middle of the print.
