TPU 90A - First print…What could go wrong?

Hello folks,

I picked up a roll of BL TPU 90A and I have questions. I know it needs to be dried…but the nozzle/hotend is causing me questions…

On the Bambu site it says .4,.6,.8, TPU high-flow hotend recommend

The P1S comes with (I think) the stainless steel hotend….I don’t see a TPU high-flow hotend offered for the P1S on the bambu site.

Will it be okay to just pop in the spare .4 hotend and send it?

Was cleaning my sheet and forgot to put it back in...and started printing. Suggestions?

Photo in message body. Yup, I did it. Ended up with a big booger of PLA stuck to the print head cover (is that what it's called?). Do I buy a new piece? I can salvage the fan. Could I peel it off with a heat gun? Any suggestions besides making sure the sheet is in next time. I think the print nozzle is ok.

HMS_0300-0200-0001-0007: The nozzle temperature is abnormal, the sensor may be open circuit.

Are these wires supposed to be separate?

Filament breaking

Hi guys

I was just about to load some Sunlu filament and noticed that the filament had broken and was like a dry spaghetti. I have only used this once to print a duck for the printer poop. It has been kept in a warm room in a resealable spool bag that was airtight. Other filament kept in same way are fine.

Is this spool scrap or can I do anything with it apart from melting it into molds?

Can’t figure out what’s wrong

I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s wrong. It either wrecks the print like in the video or it doesn’t extrude any
Material at all. Cold pulled, cleaned, cooled, heated - even swapped the extruder and the hotend twice - including the filament sensor, the tubes and connectors and even the filament cutter. The result is always a failed print. Maschine worked for 5 weeks after it was delivered and then stopped. Any ideas? Thank you

Why are these gaps not getting filled when BambuStudio slices model?

I know the pictures are hard to see. But on my 3D model that I made in Blender, where the ears attach to the head, there is space all around the intersection. It's only on the ears for some reason... any reason this is happening? It's not like this on my Blender model. So why is it happening when I bring this over to BambuStudio. Please help.

my Bambu Lab P1S suddenly stopped working

Hello, my Bambu Lab P1S suddenly stopped working.

The screen is completely off and does not display anything, but the power button light still works.

I do not own an AMS.

I already tried:

* Disconnecting and reconnecting the screen several times

* Removing and reinserting the SD card

* Restarting the printer multiple times

None of these fixed the issue.

I bought the printer around 6 months ago and I do not want to open the printer further because I do not want to lose the warranty.

What should I do next?

Stumped on an issue with the AMS on my P1S.

I had just gotten my P1S and had a good first week just printing along until it wouldn't load filament. I gave it a week after being busy and finally gave it a go today. When I tried to load filament from the AMS, the filament on some spools would go all the way to where the piping for the AMS connects to the printer and on some they would only part of the way. I checked every tube, took apart the AMS(loads of fun trying to get the cables back in with my big hands), checked the nozzle(to which there was a broken piece of filament in the the hot end) and even tried loading filament without the AMS to which I have had success and can print that way.

So why are some spools going almost all the way in but not quite there and others only going half way?

Cannot feed filament error

I could really use some help as I have never experienced this issue before. P1S, about two years old, 2500hrs,  been a spectacular machine with very little issues. 2 ams units with sunlu heaters attached. Numerous upgrades including biqu tool cover, all metal gears, .4 hardened steel, chamber heater, and filament guides on each of the AMS feeder motors

About two months ago, I replaced all PTFE tubing with brand new bambu lab tubing. I was starting to get some worn spaces and I figured it was time to do it anyways. I replaced every piece of tubing in the entire set up, including the chamber tube, the tube from the AMS hub, the tubes leading back to the two AMS units, and each of the four smaller tubes on the bottom of the AMS units. Everything is as short as I can make it and it’s been working fine for the last month and a half. I haven’t used the printer in about two weeks, and today I keep getting an error on a very simple PLA print that uses PETG interface supports. “Cannot feed filament”. The filament exits the AMS unit, goes through the tubing set up, and gets about 2 inches from the tool head entrance before it stops, retracts, tries again, then produces the error code. It seems to either do this at the start of the print, or it gets about 85% through the print meaning it has had 10 or 15 successful filament changes, and then fails towards the end. I’ve stopped and started this same print about 10 times and I keep having the same result.

What I’ve done:

I have ran PLA filament manually through every inch of the entire tubing network to push out any old pieces, and I have found none. This includes disconnecting the tubing from the tool head, from the AMS hub, through the two tubing lines going to each of the AMS units, as well as the four underneath sections that lead up through the feeder motors inside the AMS.

cold pull with no abnormalities

printer is getting to the correct temp for each filament

spools are spinning properly and are not getting kinked

I have tried different spool slots, as well as switching the AMS that holds the actual filament and I have produced the same error code.

I have removed the tubing from the tool head and trimmed off a few millimeters and all tubing and filament cuts are performed with a proper tubing cutter so that they are straight.

once again, this set up worked when I first installed the tubing so I really don’t think it is a tubing length issue. I have also shortened the tubing as much as possible while still allowing the AMS units to be pulled out of of the stand. The current tubing is also shorter than the initial set up, which worked for the first two years of the printers life.

Is this simply a symptom of the feeder motors needing to be replaced? It’s simply odd that it gets so close to the tool head sporadically before it retracts. In one of the images below, you can see a red circle which indicates when the error happens how close the filament actually gets.

 This is driving me insane so I would really appreciate some guidance from the community. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

No filament comes out and it doesn't load properly

Earlier the filament didn't want to load properly, it retracted constantly. Now it thinks there is something in there but nothing comes out so it clearly doesn't grab on.

I did a cold pull already then filament comes out manually. Then we left printing for a while but now we want it to work otherwise it's just a wast of space. So what can we do to solve this.

Do we need to buy some new parts?

Do I need to post more pictures or clips in the comments or in in a new post?

All help is appreciated.

P1S cooling fan error in app

I had a print fail. I had to replace the hot end /full replace and I got this error afterwards. “The part cooling fan speed is too slow or stopped. [(ect)]” There’s no error code on the machine only in the app. So I thought ok maybe the front cover fan died. I replaced that the whole thing. Same error still. Not sure what to do from here.

🔥 Strange gauge on the Heatbed!!!

It's light. The gauge is lighter than it shows here, but still here. I can't figure out what this is and what caused it!

🔥 What is the cleaning/oiling schedule?

My P1S just started making some noise at the top of the machine when printing. It's towards the back. It's not the tube rubbing anywhere. I think I might need to clean the X-axis Carbon Rods. I also have never oiled the Z-axis Lead Screws either. I'm not running these machines as a print farm, but they get use for sure.

What is the maintenance schedule look like with your printers? Besides the:

  1. X-axis Carbon Rods
  2. Z-axis Lead Screws

what other regular maintenace is there and how often do you do it? What do you use? I clean inside the machine out all the time so there's no crap in there. What about that belt above the rods?

Thank you!!!!!

Suggestions what to check next please

I’ve been iterating an ultra low profile cable clip for flat ethernet cables, so far I’ve printed around 20 of them without issue, then suddenly it won’t stay on the build plate, my assumption at this stage is it’s being hit by, or dragged off by, the nozzle, it prints up to around 5mm in height then detaches and gets dragged around by the print head.

I went back and printed my last working 3mf, same thing, so I printed a shopping cart coin from makerworld to test, printed perfectly.

Filament is Creality PETG opened about a month ago, it is dry, AMS reports level A.
P1S, about 2 years old with 171 print hours (Yeah, I know, I don’t have much free time…)
Hardened steel .4 nozzle with about 100 hours on it, only ever used for PLA and PETG
Washed the build plate, no change
Cleaned with ISO, no change
Replaced the build plate with a brand new unused Biqu textured plate, no change
Replaced the build plate with a brand new unused Bambu Cool Supertack plate (not the pro), no change.
Ran a full initial calibration, no change
Ran a full flow dynamics and Flow Rate calibration, no change

Kinda stuck as to what to try next…

Suggestions please?

Supports being ejected from print

Hey all!

I'm trying to print a pill dispenser with esun pla. I printed this exact item yesterday with the same brand filament with no problems. Filament is dry.

Today, somehow, the supports inside the cavities are being ejected out of the print. I'm not sure how this can even happen honestly.The supports are printed to support a small overhang for the lid.

Any help would be appreciated!

TIA!

AMS filament A4 spot being weird and not loading spool

I’ve been having this issue for a while where the spool will just constantly spin the other direction and occasionally stop. It’s always blinking red and won’t load at all. Whenever I try to interact with the AMS through the screen it just tells me that the printer is abnormal. (Yes I know the video sucks and doesn’t really show the problem)
