The printer has been 'skipping' consistently, but only on the first layer. Doesn't matter nozzle or different filament. Anybody else having issue?

Ive gotten it very very close and much better than it was before. I did the manual bed tramming and that’s helped quite a bit. But Im noticing it seems to be consistently skipping particular parts of the print which confuses me. I figured its because one of the points was too far away from the bed. I spent a ton of time trying different distances and always doing a full bed level calibration afterwards. I kept getting this result shown in the pictures. It seems to be skipping the same parts consistently. Some lines are clean and some not at all. Here is the link to my previous post that details all of the trouble shooting Ive tried. Thank you all! https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLabA1/s/AqnUhw33RV

Edit: yes I have washed the build plate. Thinking of just ordering the A1 mini combo, should I?

I'm having trouble with flow/extrusion. You can see/hear the feed motor stuttering here.

Above video was with a BRAND NEW hot end.

Steps taken before the video above

- replaced spool (using sunlu pla+2.0 which I've been using for a long time now)

- replaced the heater assembly with a ceramic unit

- replaced the feed gear with a metal unit

- have tried 3 different .4 nozzles

- updates firmware

- updated software

- attempted to do calibration of flow rates, not very successful

- attempted edits to my settings (I've been using since last winter with great results)

Does anyone have any ideas on other things I can try or ideas of potential causes? I can say that the nozzle look to be getting dirty very quickly where as I ran for months without issue before.

I'll try to add more photos/videos via comments? I can't seem to add more to post. (Sorry I don't normally post on read)

I’m halfway through a 2-color, 18 hour print on my A1 with an AMS Lite, and now I keep getting a spool error. I have printed this color for the majority of the print, so it’s not trying to feed it for the first time. I combined a couple videos into one due to Reddit limits:

Clip 1: The sound it makes
Clip 2: Showing that it can pull filament and then makes that noice.
Clip 3: Look at the orange motor within the clear-smoke case before the noise starts, it moves. Sorry for me telling my kid to stop, of course he had to make noises during a video.
Clip 4: The error message (1200-8006 110806) on my A1.

Edit: I forgot to include that I took the spool off and made sure it is not twisted/ tangled, took the claw off and lubricated it, and made sure there was no filament in the tube.

Bambu A1.

Ha algum tempo venho usando a placa fria, desde que a PEI texturizada começou a soltar os objetos, sempre me atendeu bem.

Mas a um tempo ela gruda muito o objeto e é quase impossível soltar.

Na impressão tbm fica essa jeito de esmagamento.

Ja apertei os parafusos e calibrei, mas continua igual.

Alguem sabe como resolver?

Obs. Não posso atualizar o firmware porque uso o bmcu e ele não funciona se o firmware não for o 01.05

I’m printing this on my bamboolab A1 0.4mm nozzle. Does anyone know how to get rid of these artefacts. My model is clean but slicing do this with that model

I have tried lowering the retraction length and everything else recommended in the bambulab troubleshooting guide.

I'm using the "Jamg He HS PLA" and the filament printed fine for the first 200ish grams and after that every single print jams like this mid print.

I have made sure that the filament is dry.

Unfortunately I don't have any other filaments to test out if it is the filament or the printer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Been printing TPU perfectly for months, then suddenly every print looks like this. I've cleaned everything, replaced parts, checked settings. I just can't work it out.

Fully dried for 10+ hours before each print cycle and is pulling directly from the dryer.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Hi all I could use some troubleshooting help please.

I have a Bambu Lab A1 and its started not pushing filament through and clicking as it tries to load it through the hotend. I've removed the front plate and pulled that area apart per Bambu Wikipedia to look for any stuck filament, used an unclogging tool as well to try both hot and cold pull, swapped the hotends, checked the feeding holes after removing the the ptfe tube but nothing. There wasn't any loose filament or a clog that I found. I'm attaching a video of what's happening and I took off the front plate so you could see it better.

I hate to make this post because I read the pinned post about dealing with blobs, and I'm sure there are quite a few around, but I cannot find one that specifically fits what I'm dealing with. I have been happily printing with my A1 for months and loving it. I've recently been printing these poker-chip things with words in the top and bottom layers. They've been doing great until Monday when I decided to get ahead of things and clean my plate.

Since then I cannot get anything to adhere no matter what I've tried. When I cleaned the plate the first time - and every time after that - I washed it as hot water as I could, used dawn dish soap with a sponge, scrubbed pretty hard, rinsed it in hot water again, and dried it thoroughly, all without touching any part of the plate with my fingers, except the very front where the test lines go. As you can see from some of the pictures, that's the only part that does adhere.

Sometimes I've gotten something to adhere, like a blank chip, but then I tried a slightly more complex one and it would de-adhere again. And now, I can't even get simple shapes to adhere.

I've washed the plate carefully many times. I've taken the hot end off and carefully put it back on, I've carefully scraped off the plastic from the nozzle with a bronze wire brush and gotten it all from inside the silicon shoe, I've checked that the screws are tight.

Do I need to start replacing stuff like the plate or hot end or something? I just feel like I've tried everything. ;_;

We are new to 3D printing and we're facing this issue, mostly when it comes to thin lines.

What can be the problem?

Thank you!
