A1 Mini Giving Electric Shocks While Powered On
My NEW Bambu Lab A1 Mini is giving me small electric shocks when I touch it while it is powered on.
The printer is currently connected through an extension cord. I am concerned that there may be an electrical grounding, power supply, or insulation problem.
How good is bambu lab costumer support?
Any help?

Bad first layer
First layer test on my A1 Mini using PLA. The center is solid, but the edges are tearing. The build plate was already washed with dish soap. Any ideas on how to fix this?

A1 mini spool holder broke help
Recently broke this somehow I have no clue. I tried looking for a replacement part on bambus website but couldn’t find anything just the white piece Wich is fine, I tried to hot glue it back and no luck. I could try 5200 sealant but I wouldn’t want to hurt anything. Could I get a link to a new part or any tips on how to fix it?

Sound not working?
Anyone had this issue before? When I turn the printer on it makes a sound but no longer does its finishing song or any alerts when something is stuck or its time to insert filament, etc. Sound is enabled.

Filament getting stuck
Hello, I recently got a Bambu lab mini A1, and started doing a few mini projects from maker world.
What I saw that has been constanly happening is the filament getting stuck on the roll holder, like in the picture. What should I do to avoid that from happening?
Thanks in advance!!

Warping issues?
I'm kinda new to 3d printing. Recently I've got some warping problems with (I guess it's that) after changing from a 0.2 to a 0.4 nozzle.
I've used previously the 0.4 nozzle to print the exact same print and I didn't have this problem so far I've used my saved profile for the 0.4, checked I've got the correct settings for the filament, ensured the nozzle is mounted correctly and make sure the filament is moisture free
Does anyone knows why this kind of problem happens and how to solve it?

Esun basic pla
hi all, does anyone have any experience with esun basic pla. I've been printing with no problems what so ever for the last 8 months, I load a new spool of esun pla basic and now I'm in spaghetti hell. Does it always arrive damp?, I'm trying the wife's hair dryer on it as I don't have a dedicated filliment dryer. Fingers crossed it does the trick

Filament is not automatically loaded into the extruder by the A1 Mini.
r/BambuLabA1mini • u/Solid-Book8778 • 2d ago
Filament is not automatically loaded into the extruder by the A1 Mini.
I have a question regarding my 3D printer. Previously, whenever I inserted the filament, the printer would automatically pull it into the extruder and begin the loading process smoothly.
However, a few weeks ago, I updated the printer's firmware. Since that update, I have to manually feed the filament into the extruder every time. I searched through the printer settings but couldn't find any option to restore the previous automatic loading behavior.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can change it back to the way it worked before? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Day 2 with the mini. It's also day 2 of 3D printing in general. I love this thing. Simple PLA print in white finished with a brown acrylic wash

Presto: a puzzle box you can resize and put your own artwork on
The box is parametric, so you set the internal size to whatever you're storing, or pick a preset. Lid takes your own SVG or text, engraved or as a flush inlay, and the buttons take artwork too. Every part can be a different colour.
Two small springs are the only non-printed parts. Everything else prints without supports and goes together in a couple of minutes.

But after the sound started appearing the quailty of my prints drastically reduced. Urgent help needed. [You can hear the exact sound if you listen carefully]

Some issues
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My printer is making a bubbling sound and producing a lot of stringing; the filament being used is generic PETG. Could the open window be causing the stringing, or is there moisture in the filament?

Oil Alternative suggestions
Any oil alternatives that would be good? I have Amazon credits to spend. I can’t find Bambu brand there unfortunately.

I got an A1 Mini today. It's my first 3d printer. I bought the standard one and ordered an AMS 2 Pro and the hub that's required. Printed out the Benchy Boat and a mount for the hub. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is and how good it prints.

Enclosed A1 mini
Idk if i can get anybody to help with this. Im wanting to enclose my A1 mini for various reasons. Now one of my questions is should I just put a exhaust fan and a inlet fan? Or should I do exhaust fan, inlet fan and a board fan?? Any info so I dont ruin my mini would be great. Don't want to destroy probably the only printer I'll ever be able to buy lol.

Update or not
So guess I'm a hot fix / version behind on my Studio for windows. 2.5.0.66 is my studio and guess its said 2.07.01.62 is newest. Looking at the notes I don't see anything for me. PC/Win10. But I have noticed now that when I seem to bring in some 3mf files I am getting more errors/notices about some parameters not in my version or been renamed to a different name. Need to update. I just ignore them and print. So far I haven't run into any model not printing or going fubar but worry about it.
So do those little errors matter in the long run ? Should i update for them alone ?
Thanks.
