YOU ARE MY HERO! When my print failed last night my heart filled with despair. This morning, my knight in shining armor taught me the ways of unclogging. Now I'm so happy. I can't stop clogging! I'll have to make some children and name them after you. Thank you.
Thanks for releasing this video! I only got my A1 Mini last week, so haven't had much of a chance to do too much printing with it yet! 😧 However, I have a folder in UA-cam where I am saving all the videos regarding the actual use and servicing of my A1 Mini! Thanks once again! 👍
Thank you so much for the help. Day 1 clog with a brand new 3D printer had me super frustrated. Your tutorial on clog removal was awesome. Easy to follow , step by step is exactly what I needed. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
After a long day of IT work, i realllly didnt want to tackle something new. Fortunately this video led me to the promised land in quick fashion. Thanks!
Thanks for the very useful video. Although I’m not new to 3D printing, the A1 mini is new to me & I’m a bit scared going in ham-handed & busting something. Lol
Don't be, I'm trying to cover the most common issues on this channel as it is a fantastic printer and easy to work on if you have a good guide to use. :)
I didn’t even have to do a cold pole, I was just watching this because I’m in the habit of doing regular maintenance on my A1 mini. I’m happy I watched this. It was really comprehensive. I’m actually going to download it in case I ever need to reference it in the future
Hey there, thank you SOOO MUCH, im a 3d printer newbie, and got scared AF when it got clogged only 1 week after i bought it, and u saved me, thank you.
Such great videos Tom! This is what we (the novices) need - someone who is prepared to dive into the problem areas and help us to be better printers. Thank you!
This video is great. Went at a great speed and covered everything if needed too. Thank you for making this. I’ve had my mini for a few months now and haven’t needed this video untill now 🎉
Thanks for the video. One day of use and i had a jam in the nozzle and this solved my issue. I chipped a tiny bit of the heatsink before i decided to use angled tweezers since i didn’t have the same tools but it’s working fine now after doing a cold pull.
I wish someone had told me how to remove the front cover properly (before me watching this video) I broke one of the tabs off from prying it off every time 🤦♂
you helped me a tonne thankyou! had my first problems with my A1 mini , must of been clogged extruder or stuck filment, after watching this video its back to printing beautifully, thanks for the clear instructions, keep up everything your doing!
Thank you for this! I had a hugely clogged nozzle thanks to PLA Matte so went a step further and heated the nozzle to 270 and manually pushed some petg hf filament through till it emptied whatever was stuck in there. Fixed it 🥳
I just got the A1 and I just wanted to learn this before this jamming happen. I am sure in the near future it will happen to my machine lol. Thanks for the video :)
Wow that was one of the best how to videos I have ever watched. The editing was great, sound levels were great and the information was presented in a concise manor. With no BS.
Just had my first clog on my A1, damn this thing is so much easier to fix than my prusas lol. Great Video, love the printer care videos you do, now I just need my new A1 bed lol
OMG.. Thank you so much.. I had a piece of fliament break off somewhere inside, and the Wiki for clearing the exruder is the steps for replacing the whole toolhead.. so I started taking screw out ect.. soon as I took the screws out for the AMS hub and lifted it up the broken piece fell out.. If I had found this before hand, I could have just lifted the hub part out, and pushed something through to push that broken piece out.. Next time I will know how to fix it without all the extra steps.
I usually only do them if I encounter a clog (which is almost never when using Hatchbox of Sunlu META.) If I was going to do them as a preventative measure maybe every 5-6 weeks of regular printing, at most.)
@@Tombof3DPrintedHorrors Thanks for your response. With the ease of use of this printer my children have definitely increased their usage, even my 9 year old feels comfortable finding a print on the app, swapping the filament and printing to her heart's content. Thanks for all your videos over the years and designs.
the filament was stuck in the extruder. pushing filament from above as you showed did not seem to do much, but it actually exposed the filament underneath and allowed me to use pliers and pull it free (nozzle removed) Thanks!
Great video! It helps noobs like me to solve a simple problem that looks catastrophic when you have no idea of what is going on in your third day of 3D printing 😂
Thank you very much. I just got a A1 mini and all your videos help a novice like me.

SWEET! If you have multiple children just name them Tom #1, Tom #2, Tom #3... :D

Simple explanation that saved me after go in panic mode (had my A1 for 1 week). Thanks a lot!
Such great videos Tom! This is what we (the novices) need - someone who is prepared to dive into the problem areas and help us to be better printers. Thank you!
I had my first broken filament in the boden tube on the A1MINI with ams .
Your video was a lifesaver, Thanks a million
This video is great. Went at a great speed and covered everything if needed too. Thank you for making this. I’ve had my mini for a few months now and haven’t needed this video untill now 🎉
Tom, you are an amazing resource. Thank you for all your hard work, and dedication to our craft!
Thanks! :)
Another stellar tutorial, Tom. You do a great job making maintenance on the Bambu A1s easy and surprise-free.
Thanks, I was just starting to unscrew everything again and this was so much easier. Total time saver doing it the right way

you just saved me from a nervous breakdown!! thank you so much!!!
Thank you! Had a jam on my extruder! Fixed it thanks to you!!!
Super easy to follow along with. New to the A1 mini, used to maintaining and using the X1C. This made it very easy to get back to printing.
Thank you! Had my first clog and this tutorial was simple and worked like a charm!

Same
This video came at the perfect time! I just bought a .2mm nozzel to try your mini profiles, and I got a jam right away.
Be careful what filaments you run through the .2 nozzle, so far only Sunlu PLA META and Hatchbox PLA have been free of any clogs for us here.
Thank you sir, 🤘
Thanks! The ONLY video I found that showed how to remove the "filament hub" which I need to do to try to print TPU. Thanks!
Super helpful guide. Got me back up and running very quickly!
saved my A1, you are a legend
Thank You Man, first clog with my new A1 and your vid helped me out, appreciate it buddy.
First video that has been a true blessing. Explained very well and pertinent to my situation, so helpful. THANK YOU!
Glad it helped you! :)
Thank you so much. I'm pretty new with my A1 and a bad/old Filament was stuck in the extruder. You Video helped out within a second.

I'm so glad I found this video. I was about to buy a new extruder. Thank you so much.
I totally agree with all the positive comments, this solved a problem for someone new to this technology!!😄
For a moment I thought I might've damaged my new machine... Just a clogged extruder. Easy fix :) Thanks a lot.
Great video. Direct and easy to follow. Thanks for the help!

Your explanation is very clear.
You are a gentleman and a scholar!
I thank you. 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the video. It helped a lot. I wish Bambu had some documentation or videos helping with troubleshooting and maintenance
Fucking underrated. That’s all I have to say. Quick to the point. He earned his like and sub.
Thanks! :)

Thanks Tom! Can’t wait to get a new heat bed for my A1 so I can run my printer like a 24x7 factory

Thanks. Clear and perfectly explained. Helped me in a jam.
Great video. I have the Bambu Lab A1 and my nozzle is totally clogged up, how do I remove the filament in the nozzle when there is nothing to pull on
Thank you Very Much for the tutorial! Your instructions made it work again!
Thank you! The part with Filament hub removel helped me! Filament about 5cm was stuck there.
Thank you so much. I literally just got mine, printed the test print and got a jam immediately. Hoping this doesn’t become a normal problem.
What brand filament were you using and what temp?
Great videos. Have been very happy with my A1 Mini, nice to see some tips and tricks for it

I'm glad it helped! :)
Do you have a suggestion of frequency of cold pulls for preventative maintenance?
I usually only do them if I encounter a clog (which is almost never when using Hatchbox of Sunlu META.) If I was going to do them as a preventative measure maybe every 5-6 weeks of regular printing, at most.)
