if you really like it leaves like and we will do all checklists for all bamboo printers like A1
The following instructions were taken from the official guide of bambulab beds all description below is represented all👇
3D printers have complex mechanical structures and numerous moving parts. To ensure the stable operation of the printer and complete printing tasks with high quality, regular maintenance, and upkeep of the printer are required. The main purpose of equipment maintenance is to keep the equipment clean, well-lubricated, and safe. We will classify the parts that need maintenance and give some maintenance suggestions.
Each box for example after the axes X carbon rods were cleaned 3 months on the 4 month you can count it by removing the 3 month and putting the first again and so on…
For those who want to change the months on the table and insert days or rolls of filament can do so with the secondary 3mf file
👇
In the Table are put in order the maintenance to be done as in the printable checklist, the objects to perform maintenance how to put the lubricant - remove it and more are printable here -> COLLECTIONS
Fans→A1 mini is equipped with 3 fans, namely hotend cooling fan, part cooling fan and mainboard cooling fan. In order to ensure that the machine has a good cooling effect, it is necessary to check the status of the fan regularly and remove foreign objects in a timely manner.

Guide rail system X-Z-Y→We spent extra to bring you the most reliable All-metal rails and cover-protected drive system. This rail system ensures that you do not need to frequently adjust the moving components of the A1 mini, but requires regular lubrication and cleaning to reduce wear and noise, ensure the accuracy and lifespan of the printer, and effectively prevent the guide rails from rusting.

X Y timing belts→A1 mini can check the belt tension automatically through the vibration frequency calibration. If the belt is loose, the HMS system will notify you to use the auto belt tensioner to set the belt to the right tension.
If after long-term use, the timing belt has shown obvious wear and affects the print quality, please refer to the relevant maintenance guide page to replace the timing belt. X-axis installation installation tutorial A1 mini Y-axis & Z-axis Assembly Installation Tutorial

HotendThe A1 mini hot end adopts a quick-release buckle design. In order to ensure the normal function of the hot end quick-release, and to promptly remove the residue on the surface of the hot end and the heating assembly to ensure the accuracy of the hotend temperature measurement, it needs to be removed regularly. and clean the surface of the heating element. If you find that the nozzle is obviously worn causing material leakage, please replace the spare hot end.
Note: 1. If there is residual material attached to the hotend and the hotend cannot be removed normally, you need to set the temperature to 80 degrees to soften the residue before removing it; 2. Please be sure to install the hotend silicone sock after the cleaning, or it will cause some hotend temperature warning. Hotend Replacement Video Guide: TUTORIAL |

Filament CutterLike the X-series printers, the A1 mini is also equipped with a cutter to achieve automatic filament changing. If you use multi-color printing, the cutter blade will become dull or even chipped after printing multiple rolls of filaments. Therefore, it is recommended to check regularly to ensure that the blade is still sharp and intact to avoid losing steps due to high cutting resistance and improve printing success rate.

We also have a detailed Filament Cutter Replacement Guide available for this procedure. |   | ||||||||||||||||||||
Heatbed Nozzle WiperThe A1 min nozzle wiper assembly actually includes two accessories, a silicone nozzle wiper and a metal plate wiper. The silicone wiper is used to clean the residual waste on the nozzle, and the metal plate wiper is used to clean the nozzle end surface to ensure it is smooth. If the nozzle wiper assembly is damaged or deformed, you will need to replace it to ensure the nozzle cleaning effect.

Lead screw Z→There is only one lead screw in the A1 mini. Through the lead screw, the Z-axis motor can drive the X-axis to move up and down along the Z-axis direction. Proper lubrication will ensure the smooth operation of the X-axis along the Z direction, and can effectively reduce the noise caused by the movement of the screw.

If necessary, you can tilt the printer slightly and then apply lubricant oil to the lead screw. |     | ||||||||||||||||||||
Idler pulley→This mainly refers to the idler pulley of the X-axis. Regular maintenance of the idler pulley can effectively prevent abnormal noise and abnormal resistance.
|  | ||||||||||||||||||||
PTFE TubeWe send the filament from the AMS lite (or Spool Holder) to the filament hub through a PTFE tube. After long-term friction with the filaments, the PTFE tube will wear to varying degrees and increase the filament supply resistance. In order to avoid abnormal filament transportation caused by wear of the PTFE tube, the PTFE tube should be replaced when there are obvious signs of wear.
Note: The specifications of the PTFE tube used by A1 mini are 4mm outer diameter and 2.5mm inner diameter. |   | ||||||||||||||||||||
These things are not included in the checkilist because not only very essential because they are seen if they are not good but now I insert them anyway below
Hotend Silicone SockThe hotend silicone sock helps maintain the stability of the hotend temperature. If there are signs of damage on the silicone sock, or the silicone sock cannot be fixed well on the hotend, the silicone sock should be replaced to avoid some print quality caused by temperature difference
Note: Please be sure to install the hotend silicone sock, or it will cause some hotend temperature warning. |

Purge WiperThe A1 mini's purge wiper is used to efficiently process the waste material ejected from the nozzle to ensure a continuous and smooth printing process. When the movement of the purge wiper is blocked by foreign objects or the action mechanism is deformed, the purge wiper may become stuck, causing abnormal discharging or causing the printer to lose steps. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly clean up foreign objects and replace the deformed purge wiper to improve the success rate of filament exchange and enhance the printing experience.

Extruder Gear AssemblyWhen cleaning the extruder according to the above steps fails to achieve satisfactory results, you can disassemble the extruder and remove the extrusion wheel assembly for cleaning. If there is an abnormality in the extrusion gear or bearing, you can replace the gear assembly.
|  | ||||||||||||||||||||
Filament SensorThere are several Hall sensors on the filament sensor board. The attachment of foreign matter such as material fragments and dust will cause abnormal Hall values and cause false alarms. Cleaning the filament sensor board in time can effectively solve the problem of false alarms and improve the printing experience.
