Hey guys,

I am using Bambu lab sunflower yellow. I have dried it, and washed my plate. With this particular filament the first layer looks like shit, but the rest of the print turns out fine. Other filaments have proper thick lines of equal height and so on.

I only have a problem with this particular color sinw opening the filament. Is it just the filament being shit or you can think of anything else I could check?

@Trail A1 series? If you remove the nozzle there is a graphite (?) plate that has screws on the backside that can come loose and cause issues with bed probing. You need to remove the plate to get at them.

I’m sure Bambu has instructions for this but I don’t know what terminology they use.

But another possible cause is that the nozzle isn’t actually seated correctly. It is possible to install them so that the latch closes but the nozzle can still move around.

Yes A1 mini. I'll try this. Come to think of it, once or twice I had a warning that the nozzle could have filemant stuck or the build blade being crooked (neither seemed to be the case) but it could potentially be related if the bed probing is not working correctly.

Not sure if such a thing would manifest only on this particular filament die to some tolerance or whatever, but won't hurt to try anyway.
