Bambu P1S Full Extruder Teardown Guide - Failed to pull out the filament error fix

[@StevaNooZSarWono]

i just get this issue recently.... everyone epxlaining "step by step".. but you sir... really do a great job, I follow every step you made and very easy compare other "step by step". no looong explanation, no unnecessary joking and to the point step by step... subscribe!!

@@StevaNooZSarWono thank you! That's my goal, I hate when there's a 30 minute video on fixing a 5 minute problem

[@domtrix224]

been having this exact issue the past two days, then when i saw you had a super small piece of filament stuck i thought nah that cant be it, such a small piece holding up an entire machine, so took it all apart just like this video and yup... small piece stuck! just ran a test and all fixed! thats a thumbs up and a subscribe from me! cheers pal

[@TapticDigital]

@@domtrix224 wild how a tiny chunk of plastic can hold up the whole operation! But also I’m grateful to have a printer than can identify its own problems and keep itself from getting damaged. Check your temperatures too, it turns out my issue was caused by heat creep!

I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic video you published on KZbin about disassembling the extruder. It was incredibly clear and helpful!

Also thank you so much for showing me how to put it back together because other videos I used with my first printer stopped after fixing the problem, leaving me lost with a bunch of parts. So thank you again, I cannot recommend this video enough!

[@TapticDigital]

@@raegrimm6640 glad it helped! I found that I can avoid this if I print PLA with the top glass off or at least lifted a little bit so there’s some ventilation for heat to escape. My issue was the PLA melting too much in the hotend from heat

Amazing video! Thank you SO MUCH!. I was having issues with the extruder. It would just make a clicking noise when trying to load or unload filament. I was pretty worried I was just going to have to buy a new extruder assembly. Thanks to your video I had easy to follow instruction with great detail which gave me the confidence needed to attempt a repair. Oddly enough I couldn't find an issue, like a mangled piece of filament like you did. Maybe it fell on the floor or something and I didn't notice? Anyway, reassembled and back up and printing with no issues. Thanks again for the amazing video!!

[@robinw0903]

This was so helpful! It is the first major issue that I've had with the Bambu Lab PS1 that I couldn't resolve easily. I had a clogged extruder and I had filament in my tube, which I could not remove the tube, so I cut it. I got the filament out of the tube, but I still had the piece of tube stuck in the extruder. I could extrude the filament then, but the tube would not come out. I could not find any videos with the filament in the tube when it was stuck. You did great on explaining and showing how to do everything. Well done! At least Bambu Labs don't glue their connectors like Creality does. I will never go back to Creality-Bambu Labs is Awesome!

Thanks so much for this! I managed to clear the clog in mine after a lot of brute force to remove the gears (the clog was in exactly the same place as yours, just a bit bigger and really attached to the plastic housing). I got it all reassembled and reinstalled! Alas, now it just clicks quietly and I'm trapped in the "Not Extruded Yet, Retry" loop. Opened a ticket with Bambu to see if they can help further. (Their support wiki is a roundabout of circular references and is less than helpful to a newbie to the platform.)

[@TapticDigital]

@@RikAhlberg I’m interested now. If you want to send me an email, preferably with some pictures of your hotend (cover off), I’d be happy to troubleshoot it with you.

@@GORGxBLACKSMITH it’s a bit of a learning curve. With the Enders it was about figuring out what was wrong, with bambu it’s more about figuring out how to make it work. I’ve had better luck printing PLA with the lid or door open and no clogs since!

[@ejh237]

Fantastic R&R video Like and Subscribe done!!! I agree with you that the hothead wires are a bit janky. As an old (60+ OLD) depot level electronics repair guy (from a previous life), I was pretty flabbergasted that they are using those connectors that "GOES ON THE INSIDE, NOT USER SERVICEABLE" portion of anything electronics!!! That is,until yesterday when I got in the F-150 rental, (because i hit a deer) and the darn thing keeps pestering me (with picture of a baby car seat) not to forget those in the back seat. I asked the wife if she had something to tell me ;-)... all's good there! Anyways, I decided that I do love the level of "user serviceable" that Bambu is going with. I assume this must be what it was to be a dude in the 1950's. Again, great video! One note: i was a half turn from having the cutter arm freed completely... That lead to a little bit of struggle, but I figured that out on the way back in. Best to you sir!

[@Engi662]

God bless you I had this problem and I was so confused

That acts like the problem I'm experiencing, though I don't have an AMS on my P1S. Have to allocate some time to work on that. Even where it's at, which is probably going to take a day to clean up to, is better than the A1 Hot End that filled itself up with PLA, and I have to clean that one otu. Thinking a dremel and vacuum would help with that more than anything else.

@@jarrentan6360 mine actually jammed again after this video, and it led me to discover my issue was caused by heat creep from running the bed too hot. So I’d try reducing bed temp if possible, or taking off the top glass lid as that seems to trap a lot of heat inside too.
