I have joined the world of 3d printing

I've had a nightmare today. I have had errors all day long, the printer errors at the start of a print. Filament feed issues.

I thought maybe it was the AMS playing up, but nope, I switched from the AMS to the external spool, didn't help, I have stripped the print head and the nozzle down about 4 times today, looking for blockages, I've cleaned my nozzle and tried my other 0.2mm nozzle I bought. It errors when it tried to feed in filament for the print, but its working as it keeps purging poop pre-print fine every time, so the extruder gears are working.

I resorted to taking all the tubes off and just feeding in 30-40 cm of filament manually in the top of the head without the long tubes to feed it so i could see exactly if it was grabbing or not grabbing from the extruder. I set the nozzle temp to 250 manually and just told to extruder to feed manually and it took all the filament in and melted it all out nozzle, so it all works there is no clogg, not issue taking in filament - I can only assume it is a faulty sensor, I have logged a support ticket with bambu labs and hoping they can send me either a new complete print unit or at least some parts to swap out and test/fix it.

This is what it is doing:

but when i use the screen and set the temp to 250 manually and use the extruder to push the filament through it takes it and you can see in the next video below it took it all and dumped it melted on the plate, so it shows there is not a clogg, or a blockage.

 
Not sure I have another Micro SD card, but I will hunt for one. I can see the files on the SD though.
 
I got my printer working yesterday, by setting it to not check for a tangle, the printer is fine. So this makes me feel the problem is 100% the sensor being faulty on the printer, thats not a major problem they are £6 on bambulabs site, but I've logged a ticket and hopefully they can send me a replacement.

Least my printer is back in action atm.

I did this last night, very impressed. I used a 0.2mm nozzle instead of the standard 0.4mm and went with some detailed settings 0.06mm lines etc. The print went from 1.2hrs to 10hrs due to my nozzle and setting, but well worth the time.

And held up to LED lights.

now my ideas is to make 3 more prints (diff photos) create a frame for them and install a LED light in the middle and have a mini lamp.
 
That is great, is that created using one of the Bambu/maker world tools?

I need to actually do something with photo based prints, bought Hueforge way back and haven't touched it!
 
@Ace Modder are you aware you can do them in colour?

I am, they are also cool, but I have ordered too much filament already, so need to behave for a little while. (I may have already spent £400 just on filament in Jan already).

I'm already planning to buy the litho bundle when I need order some filament.

Thanks for the heads up anyway.
