Finally printed Peter's worst nightmare: Ernie the Giant Chicken! (AMS Friendly)

I've always wanted a proper model of the legendary rival from Family Guy, so I decided to create this version of Ernie! Optimized for AMS to minimize waste.

IL TRONO DELLA PIANTA!

Basta vasi noiosi: ho stampato in 3D un trono per le mie piantine 🪴.

Un tocco di originalità e un pizzico di ironia che trasformerà il tuo angolo verde in un vero e proprio capolavoro di design in miniatura.

Failed print, now what

Did my first 24hr+ print. When I got back I found thing like this, with the printer half off my desk

Now’s there’s PLA Cotten candy stuck in the X, Y, and Z axis and I can hear crunching when I move the print bed.

Any advice as to what went wrong and how to clean this mess up?

Prime line scratching

Prime line scratching

My A1 has been scarring the plate on the prime line since day one. I found 2 out of 3 bed screws were very loose, but when I tightened them, the bed started dragging/binding. I had to loosen them again just to get it to move, but now it’s back to digging trenches in the PEI.

Nozzle is clean, but even after flipping the plate, it’s still happening. If I can't tighten the screws without the bed jamming, what am I supposed to do? Has anyone else dealt with a bed that binds when the screws are actually tight?

You can see right at the end of the prime line it digs in. Thanks for the feedback!

Y axis belt problem pls help

While printing, the nozzle kept crashing and performing homing repeatedly, so I canceled the print. Today, during calibration, I noticed the same grinding noises shown in the video. I’ve already cleaned, lubricated, and performed maintenance on the printer. When I tried to recalibrate, the same issue occurred again. The belt was slightly worn but didn’t seem to be a problem. What could be causing this?

Waves, Blobs, and Infill is Disconnected

Need help! I've exhausted ALL my options! Bambu A1 is 4 months old! The black sparkle prints are what I'm really trying so hard to correct! Waves on the outside started and the pattern on the inside does not even connect. I have TIGHTENED every screw I can think of. I've oiled all areas. I greased the rods. I bought a filament dryer and DRIED the filament. I've re-CALIBRATED so many times. I bought a NEW PLATE and a NEW hot end SOCK. I don't know what else to do. The grey model I printed as I needed a new poop bucket and thought I'd see what someone else had for settings and it still printed all wonky!! I'd be SO GRATEFUL for a solution.

Invisible Woman Sculpt I Inland Transparent Blue And White

Invisible Woman Sculpt I Inland Transparent Blue And White

Really happy with how the print turned out, but the details get a little lost at arms length or more. I'm thinking of spraying a satin varnish and then using some blue washes to try and pull out more detail and distinction. Anyone have any advice doing something like this before? I want to break out the details, but really don't want to lose the translucent effect.

A1 suddenly stops printing no screen

it's one of my original printers with over 4500hrs, and it just started stop print with no screen access. after a power off/on, the screen comes back and I can optionally resume the print since it thinks there was a power outage. Canceling and restarting doesn't work.

it sounds like a power supply issue or main board? I've replaced and formatted a new SD card. Still happens. Nothing else has changed. Any ideas?

If not, I'll carefully take it apart for spares and get a replacement :(

Image 1 — I printed these two flags (for Capture the Flag) one after the other, both using Sunlu PLA from the same bundle. The blue one printed perfectly but the red one hasn’t formed correctly. Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? The red filament was from a brand new, sealed roll.

What's going on here?

What's happening here? New A1 with about 200 hours of printing and just this recent print has rough edges/corners. Using Bambu PLA, with the default setting for said filament.

What terms would I even search for for answers here.

u/Bayds — 20 hours ago

After how many hours should you grease/oil printer?

I feel like I just did it and 3 days later maybe after 20hrs I got the message again to oil and grease axis? I dont really look at my hours used like that.

Extruder hitting the prints

Extruder hitting the prints

I bought my printer in November of last year and for a while it was printing perfectly. Recently everything I print seems to be getting hit by the extruder and knocking it off the building plate. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THE NEXT PRINTER

So just over a year and a half ago I bought a a1 mini with ams as a spur of the moment ‘I want a 3d printer’ kind of thing. So far it’s been amazing had a few teething issues and learning curves to get over but all in all great starter printer and I have loved every minute of it. From designing to printing useless and really useful things for around the house or printing things off for the nephews. Which comes to now I love the Bambu labs brand and kind of want to stick to it as it’s what I know but looking at a new printer and unsure where to put my money primarily want a new printer for the bed size so I can print bigger stuff but weighing up the a1, p1s and the p2s obviously very different price points a d just wanted peoples opinions on these and what would be the best route forward.

Option 1 - keep the a1 mini and buy an a1 move the ams to the new A1 and use the a1 mini as a TPU printer

Option 2/3 - wait a bit and sell the a1 mini and get either the p1s or p2s

Option 4 - is keep using current printer and save for the h2s

Ps i already have filament dryers and storage bins for filaments and a few different style nozzles as well

Advice requested: Stringy, poor print quality

I’m posting for the first time as a new 3-d printer. I’m trying to print with Bambu PLA Aero, and I constantly have these stringy, poor results. My machine works fine with PET-G, so I fear it’s the print settings that are leading to these weird results. Does anyone know how to fix/avoid these terrible, stringy spaghetti prints? Maybe it’s slower or cooler extrusions, but any advice would be welcome.
