A1 Mini Z-Axis Cable & PTFE Slider
Print Profile(1)
Description
A simple drop-in “slider” for the Bambu Lab A1 Mini that sits on top of the Z-axis column to keep the cable and PTFE tube from slipping behind the column or snagging on certain moves.
I designed this after having the filament cable end up behind the Z column a few times — and in one case it caused a sudden tug that resulted in a layer shift. This part creates a smoother path so the cable/PTFE stays where it should, reducing the chance of jams or sudden pulls.
Installation (very easy)
- Remove the screw from the original top cover.
- Pull the original cover upwards (it’s press-fit).
- Press-fit this slider in place (same mounting style).
- Reuse the same screw to lock it.
Printing notes
- No supports needed.
- PLA works fine (tested), but PETG is recommended for extra durability and better long-term resistance to repeated rubbing.
