The mesh isn't being saved. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong. I'm using an Ender 5 + with sonic pad.

    1:44 Lies. Bambu sent out an email to content creators first about the issue, then sent out a repair or return/replace option to everyone, AND THEN they did the responsible thing and issued a recall on it. They were very irresponsible about how they handled this, and you are sugar coating it.

    What I didn’t consider when buying the A1 is the higher electricity costs. The A1 Mini would have probably just done fine and oaks less space away when mounting the AMS on the wall. However I’m super happy with my A1 as a first printer (since 3 days lol).

    I switch from Ender 5 to A1 Mini, A1 do the print ok in near 99% of the time and the remain1% usually is my problem. Much better then my old Ender 5 that need baby sit to make sure it print correctly. Also i hardly use up the full Ender 5 bed size due bed problem. I printed full items that near used up full A1 mini bed size without any problem. Although A1 mini bed is smaller, I can successful print bigger item then my Ender 5.

    Here is an Idea, Instead of wasting your money on these outdated , overpriced Bambu printers. Go buy an Anycubic Kobra 3 combo that is WAY better than both of these in EVERY WAY. Bigger surface, faster print speed, better construction, better print, less waste and no recalls......$479 and you get 2 roll of filament and a bunch of other extras.

    I'm brand new to 3D printing and after months of reviews, I decided on the A1 mini and lucked into the recent sale two weeks ago. I'm absolutely thrilled with how easy it is to use and the quality of the prints, given my total lack of skill. Its smaller bed size doesn't matter to me as I'm just learning for now and I picked up an Ender 3 v2 for a song that I'll be upgrading and using for the occasional larger print.

    I have a P1S Combo and added a Mini after the price drop a few months ago. Didn't need the bigger build volume or multi color, so basic Mini was just fine. I will say that the little thing is an absolute beast of a machine for the price. When price dropped again for the anniversary sale I just had to pick up another one. I've been surprised as to just how many parts I've been printing fit 180 cubed just fine. With the P1S and the Minis it's likely my Enders will remain turned off unless I need to use their beds to dry filament.

    Bambu is having a sale right now and the A1 mini by itself is 199USD or 169GBP. IMHO, if you need/want something inexpensive or small, the A1 mini for that price cannot be beat. Prusa mini is twice the cost and doesn't have all the same features.

    I believe I will buy the A1 Mini with the AMS and at the end of the year I will buy the A1 and swap the AMS when necessary I am tired of setting up my printers right every month or less when I am going to print something, I believe this is something Bambulab is way ahead of other printers, they want people to be able to print instead of calibrating the 3d printers and changing parts.

    I think I discovered something Pretty good. Get the cheapest 500ml 70% rubbing alcohol you can find and add about 100g of sugar. You have to try this. It Doesn't leave droplets like sugar water and it evaporates a lot quicker, plus the added sanitary benefits of the alcohol and it's very easy to clean afterwards with a second bottle of regular alcohol. This stuff saved me an immeasurable amount headaches and a lot of filament. Edit: Also very important, only try this if you have a magnetic bed, DO NOT apply the solution on the bed while it's mounted on the printer, you don't want to get sugar on the rest of the machine.

    🔧 If you're encountering the 'PID Autotune failed! Bad heater ID' error while using the command M303 E-1 S60 C5, make sure to check your Marlin firmware settings. Specifically, ensure that PIDTEMPBED is enabled. In Marlin 2.1.2.3, this setting is turned off by default. Enabling it should resolve the issue!

    Helpful, but the instructions are a little off now. In Cura > Marketplace > Type AutoTowers Generator > Install > Quit > Reopen Cura then up on the menu click Extensions, Post-Processing, Modify G-code. Add a ChangeAtZ(experimental) script. Specify Trigger to Height and change the layer number for which layer in the slice you want to change temp, also choose Apply to Target layer + Sub then Check Change Extruder 1 Temp and type what temp you want. Happy printing.
