Problem with prints (A1 mini)

[u/Technologyyyy]

Hello,
I am using a BambuLab A1 mini, it worked fine for around 2 months before my prints started to look like this.
I already changed the hotend which made it work for 1 print before leading to the same result as in the picture.
Couldn’t find this exact issue online, someone experienced the same issue? (I changed the filament once)

Thanks! :)

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

• What printer are you using?

• What material are you using?

• What speed are you printing at?

• What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

• When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

• Does anything cause the behavior to change?

• If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Dry your filament.

The most common reason for issues like this is wet filament. Look up how to dry your filament on this sub (or anywhere else), there's a few ways to do it. Personally I have a dedicated filament drier, but there are other cheaper options too.

When the you're printing, can you hear any faint sizzling/popping sounds from the hot end? You probably will be able to, that's the moisture in your filament turning to steam and causing the issues you're seeing.

Dry your filament and reduce the temperature. If this is your first time printing with multicolor / silk pla from what i recall you need to reduce the temperature/speed.
