Issue with Tower on A1 Just like @JRayGlover, my prints on the A1 seem to have too much movement to survive the middle section. Both prints were with Bambu Matte Black PLA, one using the default profile, the other slowed down 50%. They both failed in nearly the same spot. For reference, the inside of the tower & the spheres printed fine in Bambu Jade White Basic PLA at 50% speed.

@JRayGlover

I’m glad I’m not the only one. I was bumbed out that I couldn’t get this to work.

@adoute

I just tried a third print of the tower, using Bambu PLA Matte filament that I dried overnight. I printed it on an A1 at 50% speed. I really thought this one would work, but it failed in the exact same way at about layer 330.

Try to collaborate your machine. I have a P1S.

Print Profile

Support Issue:This profile doesn't seem to work well for A1 or A1 mini. Maybe too much movement from the bed moving back and forth. First two times the model must have been too wiggly so the tower part doesn't print right making it extremely weak and partial broken already. I tried it a third time but slowed the printer speed down by 50%. It was finally somewhat successful but still had several print errors causing it to not glide well in the top 1/4 of the tower.

@3DPrintStuff

The parts you see in the pictures/GIF are all printed on my A1 and A1 mini.

@holstm75

Same happened to me so I made a profil where i fixed it

Nice model but I’m getting a consistent layer shift in the outer piece when printing on X1C with Bambu PLA Basic with standard settings. Tried the slow profile with same results-I realized that was made to fix a different problem. Have no problems with other prints.

@user_2725227025

Having same issue.

@oddeirik

Having the exact same issue on a P1S! Just tried it a second time because I thought the first one was due to printing them object by object (inner and then outer) and the print head accidentally bumped into it or something. Printed it separately the second time, and was right next to it during the last few minutes. There was a loud snap and then a layer shift. Not sure what's causing it? 🤷 Standard black BL PLA with standard BL filament profile.

@Jigsawscreation

nice print I made inside on my a1 mini worked great outer I did on my a1 but top for some reason was bad but still works

@Spyker

I have the same issue, I've tried printing 3 times but it spaghetti fails at the top like the nozzle grazes the print and knocks it over. I've tried adding a brim but still can't get it to stick on the textured plate.
