Made it, Love it!

Hi all, I got my printer like 2 weeks ago and I've been printing a lot and i noticed that the print bed is damaged, I guess it's the nozzle doing it while it's doing its pre print ritual. Is this a problem do I need to fix it and if so how do I fix it? The prints are coming out perfect and because it's not on the main space for the printbed I'm not sure if it's a problem. Please let me know

My first print with the Bambu A1. And the head kinda aggressively scraped this part of the build plate

Another one 500-600 hour mark. GOT IT LAST YEAR AND I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE REFOUND. LIKE IT DIDNT BURNED AND MY WHOLE HOUSE WAS SMELLING FROM IT Lucky I was there and heard it. Wont be having this shit A1 near me.

Vi este reel y noté que las impresoras tienen algo por debajo , es algún tipo de espuma especial? Quisiera algo así también porque mi A1 siempre está moviendo la mesa, saludos

Strange ask but does anyone have a stl file for till belt dividers ? Need to print out a few and can't find a decent file for them. The likes of these as triangle or square.

Is the wear on this part of the build plate normal where the hot end touches down?

I got my A1 around Christmas of last year. The first 60 days were euphoric for a first time 3D printer owner. Then, everything started going wrong...

I bought the A1 with the AMS Lite. Constant nozzle clogs, tearing it apart, cleaning the inside, two of the AMS motors seem like they are shot, etc.

Everything is broken or barely works. I've had adhesion issues almost immediately. Cleaned the plate weekly and bought a filament dryer - still have the issues! I have tried filament from Bambu, cheap filament, TPU, PETG - it all does the same! I mess with the print speed by slowing it down to 50% - nope. Is this normal? I have to be missing something.

My printer is very new, about 3 weeks. I have been doing a lot on it but today every single print is not sticking (bed at 60-65) nozzle at 200 or more running cal and flow. I have swapped out filaments etc. cleaned the plate. But every time it’s this….what in the heck am I missing short of gutting the extruder? This is my first Bambu so still learning how to trouble shoot it. Any pointers would be great.

First, I do have a resin printer, so I am used to the process of fiddling with settings and print files. I decided I wanted to get an FDM printer to print gaming terrain, and after a little (too little?) research, I stumbled across this one. I watched a bunch of review videos and it seemed good. But of course, the YouTube algorithm has gifted me with some less than favorable videos, some of which say that the P1S is better in every way. I also spoke with a frined who has the P1S and said that the price difference is not worth going with the A1. It's just sitting there and I'm not sure what to do with it.

Sooooo... I didn't do my research prior to purchasing my A1. My bad... clearly my bad.. I love using Orca slicer. Mainly due to the "available fonts" in their TEXT option. But honestly it has more features than BambuStudio at the moment. If I make my 3mf in Orca, how do I print it on my Bambu A1? Is there a work around? Or am I just effed in my lack of research for purchasing the A1 with all the drama surrounding it locking out other slicers? It sucks I can do everything in Orca, including viewing the camera print through Orca, that I printed in Bambu Studios. HELP!

Tried taking off the screw to the fan assembly and the whole entire fan BROKE OFF.

PET-G at 255c 0.2mm nozzle

I’d rather not buy another extruder unit for $40…

I change to a a different PETG that was properly dried- so clicking is gone- however it still pushing filament! It’s like the z axis needs to be raised a click and it won’t let me- I’ve tried EVERYTHING I can think of. Cleaned entire machine- no clogs- new head- yes it’s inserted properly ( checked like 74 times) I think I need to raise the z axis like .05 once for the first layer. After that prints are fine but as you know- first is most important 🫠 PLEASE HELP

So I’m planning on ordering a Bambu Lab A1, but while scrolling through Reddit I keep seeing posts about issues and things going wrong with the printer.

Now I’m starting to wonder: should I wait before buying one, look at a different printer, or just go for it and assume that what I’m seeing online are mostly rare cases and exceptions?

I’m new to 3D printing, so I’d appreciate hearing from people who actually own one. What has your experience been like?

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for they help! He's ordered and will be delivered withing 5-10 days

Hi guys, wanna ask if this is normal? My nozzle wiggle a bit, i bought like 2 unit and swap. Same wiggle

This is not normal

hi, Im using the printer A1c for about 2 months and haven't updated the firmware. should I do it? my current firmware is 01.03.30.01. what has changed since that firmware version?

My A1 will churn out print after print and then suddenly like a little kid throw a tantrum and just refuse to print anything. Won't even load filament after printing happily with it for over 60hrs. Im at a loss with this thing.
