    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! 👍

    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

    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

    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.

      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.

    @coldbloodedkidz860 2 місяці тому

    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.

    Do you have a suggestion of frequency of cold pulls for preventative maintenance?

    • @Tombof3DPrintedHorrors
      @Tombof3DPrintedHorrors  7 місяців тому

      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.)

    • @knf5
      @knf5 7 місяців тому

      @@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.
