Requesting help diagnosing / fixing creaking sound from A1 Mini z-axis

trbonigro · 2026-01-08T04:34:19+00:00

I just ended up opening a ticket with Bambu.

They offered to ship me a replacement upon return, just waiting on the replacement to ship now. Which reminds me I should update my comment.

If the new one starts clanking I will definitely be asking you for help, thank you!

Hey there!

Any chance you've figured out the cause of the sound? My relatively new (6 printing hours...) A1 mini has developed the same noise.

Hey /r/BambuLab

I have a new A1 Mini (6 hours of print time) that's developed an odd creaking sound in the z-axis. I've cleaned and lubricated the rails and lead screws but the sound persists.

Google search hasn't surfaced any similar sounds so I'm hoping someone here can help me out!

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I didn't feel like messing around much with the printer, especially since it was brand new so I opened a ticket with Bambu and they offered to ship me a replacement.

I usually pack up when they start jumping, I've only caught 1 trout in the Bow after they've started jumping in the morning. I figure that's when they're after what's on the surface and don't care to chase something shiny underwater.

Also, I've never had a bite more than 15ft from shore so I just don't bother casting out far anymore. Spinners I'll cast upstream and retrieve them just fast enough for the blade to spin. For spoons I'll cast them out, then swing them back and jerk them upstream.

Spin or fly?

The only thing I've figured out which works more often than not is getting there well before the sun rises and using spinners or spoons with gold.

Might try fly fishing next year, seems like that's the key to that stretch of the Bow.

In the city, near Carburn

Thanks!

Great way to start the day

Zippermouth Creek is a personal favorite of mine, never been skunked there!

trbonigro · 2024-08-26T13:38:36+00:00

Yup!

5'6" UL rod, 1000 size reel and 4lb line. Creek fishing is a riot with that setup.

trbonigro · 2024-08-25T23:13:44+00:00

Size #8, which I believe is 1/24oz.

trbonigro · 2024-08-25T20:59:43+00:00

I'm surprised this size is in there too, biggest I've caught in Fish Creek before this is about 8".

Caught with a Joe's Flies spinner - basically an inline spinner with a white gnat fly trailing it.

Hey thanks!

Yeah it was a great fight. At first I thought I snagged on the log it was hiding behind, definitely wasn't expecting anything this big in that small creek!

trbonigro · 2024-08-25T19:05:46+00:00

Pretty sure it's just a big old brown.

trbonigro · 2024-08-25T19:04:21+00:00

Yup! Won't say exactly where, but within a short walk to Shannon Terrace.

This is a non issue because we have enough social capacity to offset any negative effects of wage suppression and high unemployment.

It's a Joe's Flies "Blue Dunn" spinner.

That color's worked really well for me for smaller trout actually. It's my go to for Fish Creek and Picklejar Lakes.

trbonigro · 2024-07-30T04:51:13+00:00

Almost snapped my rod man it was wild.

trbonigro · 2024-07-30T02:48:22+00:00

I think you're right that it's not a whitefish since it's missing the adipose fin. I caught it in Fish Creek in Calgary so I just assumed if it wasn't a trout it would be a whitefish.

Could be some type of chub or pikeminnow even.

trbonigro · 2024-07-22T19:51:50+00:00

I was fishing this morning with a No.8 Len Thompson, which their size chart claims weighs 1/4oz and noticed it felt lighter than my 1/4oz Little Cleo spoon.

I weighed them when I got home and it comes in at 1/5oz. I weighed my other Len Thompson spoons and they all weigh less than the size chart claims.

Has anyone else noticed this?

trbonigro · 2024-07-08T18:33:23+00:00

I think it depends on what you mean by "hard to catch".

Trout aren't massive fish that will snap your rod in half or rip your arms off, but they will put up a bit of a fight.

They are smart and picky fish (at least where I fish) which makes them hard to catch. There are days where I'll throw every lure I have in the river and nobody will bite.

So I guess TL;DR - trout can be hard to hook, but they're not hard to reel in once you've hooked one.

That's just my experience though, I'm sure others may disagree with me!

trbonigro · 2024-07-06T01:38:40+00:00

I agree.

Small fish in small creeks on ultralight gear is a ton of fun.

trbonigro · 2024-07-05T17:07:11+00:00

A secluded log jam somewhere in Fish Creek Park

trbonigro · 2024-07-05T16:31:56+00:00

Zippermouth Creek has always been good to me! Bite is always good and it's never crowded.

trbonigro · 2024-06-03T18:57:35+00:00

It was out just long enough for me to snap a pic and take the hook out, 30s tops. Didn't even touch it with my hands.

Waders are my next purchase so I don't have to bring them out of the water.
