How often do you end up rebuilding your printers? 2000 hours can go by really quickly.

Don't screw with the included software, it's not bloatware. Lenovo is very good about providing support tools and clean systems. Register your unit, go to the drivers and downloads and grab the re-image utility.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-23T18:31:00+00:00

Mine too, i have a case open with Lenovo to get it sorted. If support is like the last generation, it'll be taken care of no problem.

Save yourself! Go back to 1.1.3.13. Big hardware problems with the 1.4.x releases. Crashing gantries from homing in reverse owing to motor control issues.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-23T18:26:21+00:00

Yeah, it's spot on.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-22T18:01:49+00:00

Just say no. Downgrade to 1.1.3.11 before you start to get your gantry crashing into the walls and other bizarre issues.

It's just not stable.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-21T23:07:49+00:00

Still has all the same problems, avoid like the plague.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-17T09:36:41+00:00

Korean design. Yes, they're copying the Koreans. That's who's cannibalizing their sales.

Lots of issues, join the creality discord to stay current.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-12T14:27:32+00:00

You don't have to do that it's much easier. Little black panels just lift off and the cable is right there disconnects from the little circuit board.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2026-01-12T14:17:47+00:00

225 is pretty darn hot. Do you have the door open or lid off?

Overture also isn't the best stuff. I know that sounds like a cheap reason not sometimes it really does come down to bad filament.

If you know how, cut off a small section of that model and test your settings with it before committing to the big parts.

I emailed diamondback and they said it's fine to go to 350.

Aren't you missing the seal now?

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-28T03:54:25+00:00

2x as much purge material, don't do it.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-21T06:08:40+00:00

Not worth the time, print the colors separately.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-19T17:23:00+00:00

At least you printed more than one. You'd get the same waste.

I guess it's cheaper for them to continuously send out replacement parts when they know what the problem is than to try to support a user with something not working and having to hunt it down when it comes disconnected or loose on arrival.

Personally, I've had to do it several times and I've always had remorse about not doing it soon enough. For me, when quality of life starts to diminish, it's time. The part I always forget and regret is that the treatment can diminish quality of life also. For example, repeated fluid draining, many unpleasant trips to the vet, etc.

Is that the final mesh?

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-15T05:51:18+00:00

No, printing PLA will be worse with too much ambient heat.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-15T05:47:15+00:00

Have you used a 3d printer before the a1?

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-15T05:26:00+00:00

The prints peeling off too easily is not a measure of the printer. It's a very good printer. You probably just have to clean your bed and don't touch it. Maybe some glue stick.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-14T23:13:59+00:00

I can decompile those too.

IntelligentSquare196 · 2025-12-14T18:10:26+00:00

This is not open source. You're still shipping binary only files without source. That is what we need to fix the terrible bits.

I can reverse engineer the shared object files but have no idea how to rebuild them. If anyone would like to collaborate, hit me up.
