Bambu X1

Away for a few weeks, come back and one of the filaments loaded in my AMS has snapped off. PLA+ and seems more brittle than usual.

Anyone faced this? The AMS is erroring in studio/orca, with a flashing red led on the feed. No commands work as it immediately unloads if I reinsert the filament.

I have only spent 10 minutes looking at it so far, but assume I am going to need to disassemble somewhat to remove the stranded piece.

(I am on a P1S not X1, but would assume more AMS users in this thread)

Sorted, reasonably straightforward to get to the stranded pieces (there were 2x...), although not something I would want to do often!

not on a bambu but yeah the last reel of pla+ i bought was more brittle than usual and broke off in my printer. Glad you got it sorted

Does anyone else ever experience the purge missing the poop shoot and being flung onto the bed or elsewhere on the printer? I normally keep an eye when kicking off a print so can grab it if it happens, but for multi material prints it is obviously more likely to be an issue.

I know I could replace the wiper, but it is relatively new with no real wear yet from just printing PLA/PLA+.

Yes, this happens for me every now and again. Can't remember when it last happened.
