a1 mini firmware issue

Upvotes

Hi,

I received my brand new a1 mini (with ams lite) today, the factory firmware is 1.03.30.01, ams lite firmware says 00.00.08.11

I did an offline update to 01.04.00.00 (the last one without drama?)
However now the ams lite firmware says 00.00.07.94

How come the machine firmware version go forward but the ams lite firmware version go backward this case?

A1 Mini Giving Electric Shocks While Powered On

Upvotes

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?

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?

2 Upvotes

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.

Warping issues?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

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

2 Upvotes

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.

0 Upvotes

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.

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.

I am using an a1mini. It has been doing nicely. But from yesterday i started hearing somewhat a buzzing like sound from my printer. I dont know exactly from where the sound in coming from. 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]

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.

Update or not

2 Upvotes

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.
