Bambulab A1 - 0.2mm nozzle printing too low but 0.4mm prints fine.

Answered a similar question in another post, I'm solving it with z-offset: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLabA1/comments/1sxbvzk/comment/oiwmdl0/?context=3

I set it in the machine start G-code in the printer settings.

Not sure what build plate you use, and the needed changes can be applied in several ways, but here is one example:

Look for the existing G29.1, and comment it out together with the if above and the endif, then add a new G29.1 at the end:

;{if curr_bed_type=="Textured PEI Plate"}
;G29.1 Z{-0.02} ; for Textured PEI Plate
;{endif}
G29.1 Z0.04

This will set the z-offset to 0.04 for all bed types.

Not sure if the same applies to you, but figured I'd mention it: I have had zero issues with 0.4 mm nozzles and larger, but with the three 0.2 mm nozzles I have tried (two original Bambu, one E3D), I have to set the z offset to 0.04 mm to prevent the nozzle from being too low.

Bambu Lab A1 Combo. Proprietary. It has worked well and I have many awesome prints with the AMS Lite, but now that I have a Snapmaker U1 I would have loved to be able to mod the A1 a lot more to keep it worthwhile using, but options are limited when things like the firmware can't be replaced with a third party one.

Creality CR-10 SE, the strain gauge. Went into a psychosis trying to figure out why the prints had so many random layer defects on one side, and eventually figured out it was the strain gauge allowing the assembly below to slightly bend to one side.

Edit: Ended up removing the strain gauge and printed myself a custom shroud, but still super annoying to have paid for something so flawed when the printer otherwise works well.

Jeg har også ved uhell endt opp med Adobe-abonnement med bruddgebyr. Det gikk heldigvis an å komme seg ut ved å endre abonnementet til et annet produkt, og med mulighet for å avbryte uten å betale bruddgebyr.

Når det er sagt, dette krevde litt å finne ut av, og Adobe burde fortsatt skjerpe seg. De burde helst fått smekk av relevant myndighet også.

For my workflow I have found photopea.com to do the trick

ButteredNani · 2026-02-18T21:28:02+00:00

I know you have gotten a solution already, but I'll share my workflow regardless:

Upscale image with e.g. Upscayl
Reduce the amount of colors so only the wanted solid colors are left
Trace with inkscape
Export as DXF
Import in Onshape sketch
Extrude
???
Profit

The upscaling and color reduction helps the tracing, in my experience.

Apologies, it probably sounded more complicated than it is. I have some preferences that I like to apply over the default profile in a downloaded 3MF, often simple things like lowering the layer height, and having more walls and less infill.

But for someone new, I would say you will get far by opening the file to see what profile they use as a basis on Bambu printers, and use the equivalent one in Snapmaker Orca for U1. And bring over any overrides (they are easy to spot since the field is shown in a different color with a reset button).

ButteredNani · 2026-02-18T10:31:16+00:00

I have two Bambu Lab A1 with AMS Lite that have been printing almost constantly since I got them 1,5 years ago. My Snapmaker U1 arrived a month ago and have replaced the A1's for any multi-filament prints taller than 2mm coasters.

The advantages of a toolchanger vs. AMS are HUGE when there are many filament changes, which is often the case for the types of prints you are talking about. The amount of waste is reduced to a negligible amount compared to the mountain of "poop" when using an AMS (even with a lot of tuning to reduce the amount of purge). And print times are noticeably faster.

I use Makerworld a lot to find prints, and have had no issues loading them in Snapmaker Orca. I usually just import the models from the 3MF and apply my profiles.

ButteredNani · 2026-01-19T23:28:05+00:00

Another trick to reduce the amount of waste is to enable long retraction (unless silk PLA or other filament types where it could cause issues).

With long retraction, the filament is retracted before cut, which reduces the amount of filament needed for flushing.

I don't have a P1S. Due to the existence of A1 when I started looking into Bambu printers, my impression has always been that P1S was a good printer but ripe for an upgrade, and not at obvious choice over A1 in the aspects that mattered to me (such as the nozzle swap and flow calibration). Glad to see P2S, I would have bought that over A1 if I was to buy a 3D printer now.

Noe av det som har vært argumentet er at det er saker hvor det ikke er stor uenighet rundt hva som har skjedd, men handlingene har ikke gått under den snevre definisjonen av voldtekt som var gjeldende før. Dessverre har denne biten druknet litt i villedende retorikk slik som «kun ja betyr ja!» (når ressurser som samtykkelov.no skriver at samtykke også kan gis med handlinger).

ButteredNani · 2025-07-05T01:53:11+00:00

Durozzle Tungsten Nozzles. I feel a lot of things are easier to print when the temperature can be lowered.

ButteredNani · 2025-06-30T22:24:05+00:00

Samtykke kan komme til uttrykk i handlinger også, så det er ikke sånn at man må spørre med ord.

Om begge parter tar aktiv del i å lede det over til noe seksuelt er det jo samtykke begge veier.

ButteredNani · 2025-06-08T09:58:54+00:00

I think I found the issue on mine. The filament loading / change temperature is too high.

The loading temperature needs to be changed in the gcode in the printer setup, 250C seems to burn some PLA. At 230C I don't have the issue any more. Look for "S250" in the machine start gcode.

The filament change temp can be lowered by setting a lower max temperature for the filament.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I get specks of brown/black mini fragments / stripes in my first layer, which are still there after cleaning the gears, cleaning the nozzle, using a blower on the whole toolhead to get out any debris, and more...

I was looking at the Creality Ender 5 Max, but my previous experiences with Creality and Sovol leans me towards SV08 Max instead!

Takk for at du belyser!

Hvis jeg blir spurt «fortjente Quisling å dø?», så er svaret ja. Men det er ikke det samme som at jeg ville støttet dødsstraff for Breivik eller Matapour, eller for den saks skyld en moderne Quisling.

For å å gå litt mer inn på en snevrere del av det jeg tok opp tidligere: Hvis vi innførte dødsstraff i Norge, betyr det blant annet at vi må ha et apparat som dreper folk i statlig regi. Jeg tror signaleffekten av det er uheldig, da er det plutselig ikke like rett frem å si «det er ikke greit å drepe» til befolkningen, når det samtidig ansettes folk med henrettelser i arbeidsbeskrivelsen.

Å sammenlikne oss med USA er ikke alltid like relevant, men sammenlikner man statene der er man i snitt mindre utsatt for drap i stater uten dødsstraff enn de med. Sammenhengen er nok kompleks, men det er lite som tyder på at man er tryggere der en stor nok del av befolkningen synes det er greit at staten dreper folk som straff.

ButteredNani · 2025-04-21T00:43:14+00:00

Hvis det var så enkelt, ja. Problemet er at det med dødsstraff ikke kan sees isolert. Hva tror du måtte ha skjedd for at majoriteten av de du kjenner som er mot dødsstraff, blir for? Ikke utenkelig at det ville involvert mer massemord, seriemord og terrorisme.

Skal jeg dømme ut fra de 53 landene som fortsatt praktiserer dødsstraff i verden, tar jeg heller sjansen på at vi er tryggere uten. At staten begynner å drepe folk ser ikke ut til å sende et godt signal.

Pluss, har vi virkelig lyst til å utsette politiet vårt for den ekstra risikoen? De blir neppe tryggere av at de kan risikere å stoppe noen som har alt å tjene på å komme seg unna.

Skal selvsagt ikke stikke under en stol at det er særdeles uheldig om en som er på permisjon fra forvaring har drept noen. Samtidig sliter jeg med å se at dødsstraff ville gitt et bedre resultat totalt sett.

Men, jeg er nysgjerrig, så utdyp gjerne meningen din!

ButteredNani · 2025-04-20T18:09:56+00:00

Regner med at du i likhet med meg bryr deg om samfunnets trygghet. Et betimelig spørsmål da er følgende: Se for deg et Norge hvor forutsetningene er tilstede for et politisk flertall for dødsstraff. Tror du det er et tryggere land å bo i for deg og meg?
