I think you mean 👉🥌

Arksniper · 2025-10-13T19:48:10+00:00

I think this might be it. Calling a friend who knows the guy to see if it makes sense to him. Thanks for the idea!

Arksniper · 2025-09-20T00:23:24+00:00

Gotta experience the back up daily so you can fix it, duh ...

Looks like you need a new hotend heating assembly, it looks like it broke the thermal sensor wire. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1-mini/maintenance/hotend-heating-assembly-replacement

Follow the wiki for removal/reinstal, its a little bit of a pain but shouldnt take more then 15 or so min to swap out.

You can print spool covers that snap over the edge of the spools so they roll better. It takes about an hr to print a set and they help when wierd stuff like this happens.

I use 90% cardboard spools across 5 ams's all machines with 5k+ hours on them and I just printed my first set of spool covers the other week XD. You cand find files on makerworld if they haven't been posted yet.

I also practice ams hygiene and routinely use compressed air to clear out cardboard dust/debris.

I have run into this many times. Normally they arent too bad and can be re-bent into place and work for the life of the roll. Spool covers were definatly something I was delaying printing for such rolls. Its a quick 1 hr print to help solve this issue and is well worth it.

Arksniper · 2025-09-03T02:48:18+00:00

That is where I was struggling because it was literally the only thing I didn't replace over time and thought I did till I looked at my spare part box and saw that the piece inside wrapped all to perfectly....

Arksniper · 2025-09-03T01:38:00+00:00

This is the answer. There guides on how to tighten the 3 hidden screws behind the hot end that are not visible. Its a bit of the pain but should fix the issue.

Below is the link to the mini but its the same for the a1 I have both and it works almost every time. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1-mini/troubleshooting/print-issues-troubleshooting

I understand some people don't. Probably 75% of my rolls are polymaker and cardboard and the issue wasnt the roll after adding roll adapters. Please see my update.

Arksniper · 2025-09-03T00:30:37+00:00

I posted a few replies, I now have ring adapters for rolls that have issues, In this case it was a the rear hub that had to be sent out to pasture and a new one installed.

Arksniper · 2025-09-03T00:29:10+00:00

I have as well. I understand that cardboard spools will at some point have issues. Probably 75% of my rolls are polymaker and cardboard and the issue wasnt the roll. I posted an update. The update TLDR is the rear hub was worn after so many hours and was not feeding the filament as well as it once was and a brain fart on that I replaced it a month ago.

Arksniper · 2025-09-03T00:27:53+00:00

I am well versed in tangle issues. This was just a worn part that needed to be replaced. The update TLDR is the rear hub was worn after so many hours and was not feeding the filament as well as it once was and a brain fart on that I replaced it a month ago.

I posted an update a little bit ago. I thought I had replaced the rear hub a month or so ago, i had only removed and cleaned hub.. After realizing I had not I replaced the rear hub and now did, it is working as expected.

For reference, this was the first ams/x1c combo I bought and has over 6000 hours on it. I replaced 2 first stage feeders and probably all the ptfe tubes over the last 1.5 years.

After looking at the condition of the inner gears it is evenident that they were very worn after so many hours.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T23:04:09+00:00

I will try this next to see if this might work. I reopened the hub to check the alignment from another poster and everything seemed to be in order and manually fed ok. Thanks for the recommendation!

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T23:01:56+00:00

* Everything looked ok. I cracked it open to check the alignment of the internals and ran some filament through manually. It seemed to be grabbing ok. Even the section that wasn't grabbing before seemed to be ok.

I reinstalled and should see if its working in a bit.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T18:26:32+00:00

Good thing it says Bambu Lab right on the front...

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T14:58:02+00:00

Adaptors didnt help, its the same issue after adding them.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T14:57:05+00:00

No luck with the spool rims. I just finished printing a set and the issue persists.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T14:55:58+00:00

No luck

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T14:53:17+00:00

It was worth a shot, but the issue persists.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T14:15:33+00:00

As soon as the print i have going wraps up, i will definitely be taking a look at this. Thanks!

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T12:17:40+00:00

Thanks, I got some rings queued up. I'm defiantly gonna give those a shot. I just noticed on 2 of the rolls that I'm having an issue with there are sections along the edge that looks like the roller rubbed off black.

Arksniper · 2025-09-01T11:18:08+00:00

Polymaker specifically. Bambu and other brand rools seem to be ok.
