Slow Interface for A1

When I first got my A1 Printer, the interface would respond at a normal speed, since around 10 months ago, the interface has gotten really slow.

When a dialogue box appears (Like during filament changes), it takes around 10 seconds for the box to appear. This happens with anything that appears on the screen with an option to exit or choose a button.

The printer also takes a long time to update the print speed, temperature, fan speed or bed temperature. When updating the speed, the printer takes a while to update the remaining time left on the print.

The printer takes around 2 minutes to read the SD card even when there is only 1 or 2 files on the SD card, I have cleaned out the SD card multiple times before.

Why is it slow? Is it because of a firmware update, or is it an issue that builds up over time, any insight on this would be great, thanks!

Have you tried replacing the SD card? They are a known failure point and can cause issue such as you’re seeing as they start to degrade.
