A1 Build Plate Aligner
Print Profile(8)
Description
1/26/2026 update: u/Flyrockets informed me of an error that is occurring on Firmware 01.01.50.24 (beta tester firmware) that the nozzle will hit the build plate aligner after the third layer and cause an error, causing the print to stop. I have updated this design to lower the aligner to be 0.5mm above the Textured PEI build plate vs the 3mm it was previously. This shouldn't cause any errors as the third layer should be over 0.5mm in most cases, but I do not have the 01.01.50.24 firmware to confirm. Please let me know if you experience any errors while using this updated design and I will update it again. To easily remove your build plate aligner and update to the new one, remove the old build plate aligner starting with the lober side and simply push it down and off the heat bed.
If you are enrolled in the beta firmware program with Bambu, please check your printer firmware before printing. If you are enrolled in the beta firmware program with Bambu, you will need the updated design. If you are not part of the beta firmware program, the original design will work great for you if your firmware is 01.01.01.00 (stock firmware)
This is a guide for aligning the build plate on the Bambu Lab A1 printer I designed in Fusion 360. I have been having problems getting my build plate perfectly straight on my new A1 printer so I designed this to clip on to the right rear corner of the A1 heatbed to help align the build plate. This build plate aligner prints in less than 20 minutes and uses less than five grams of filament. This design has been tested to ensure it does not interfere with bed leveling or nozzle cleaning. This design needs to be printed in the orientation I have uploaded it in for proper fit.
You can not mirror this design and use it on the left rear side of the bed. The nozzle will hit it when changing filaments or cleaning the nozzle and cause the print to stop.
Printing in PLA works, but PETG is the better material to use for this aligner. If you find this model to be a little loose, it is to ensure it can be removed from your bed if you do not want it on anymore. I had numerous versions of this that fit perfectly but had to be cut off to be removed. I do not want you to have to cut this off of your printer if you want it removed.
