Comment on Why BambuLabs A1 pooping so frequently? (Sorry, not sorry.)

Hi everyone, thanks for your suggestions. I did try to turn it off and reslice the model, but it seems the situation is getting worse. I think my printer has lost it’s damned mind: Not only is it pooping every few layers, but it’s now started having an error every 5 minutes that says: “The nozzle is covered with filament, or the build plate is installed incorrectly.” Neither of these are true. I’ve checked the nozzle and the build plate multiple times and it’s all OK. I also had a couple extrusion errors that seemed false. Restarting the print was fine until these other errors.
Some clarifications:
- When I say purge, I don’t mean it’s building a purge TOWER. I mean it’s pooping out the little globs to the left of the picture above.
- It’s just a simple 1 piece Tinkercad model, exported to STL and sliced in Bambu Studio. it only has one filament in the slice. Here’s a screenie of the sliced attributes: i.imgur.com/ZWc6stB.png Image
- I can’t seem to figure out how to view the gCode in BS so I can’t see if there’s weird commands in there telling it to do weird things.
- I’m using the filament profile in BS for the Overture PLA, which is the filament brand/type I’m using.
- When it gives the nozzle/bed error I can see clearly that it’s not true and click resume and it continues to print for 5+ more minutes and repeats.
When I told it to stop printing from the screen controls it was like WHAAAAT!? and then just started spitting filament everwhere and then just plunged itself into the print and sat there in a very strange position.ImageImageImage (See photos)
