I have been using my Bambu A1 mini for the last several months without major issue, but suddenly I can’t get anything to print. Even a benchy detaches before finishing.

I have scrubbed the plate with a fresh sponge, soap and water. I kept my filament in a dehydrator for a couple of days, then immediately tried to print.

There is a local problem, where an illegal landfill caught fire, and it can’t be put out. I smell burning rubber all the time. Could that be the cause of the print failure? What else can I do?

    All of the advice here is great but that is a Bambu printer, you should run its calibration routine again I would say and see what it says it also should be able to compensate if the bed is warped if you tell it to do bed leveling (unless the A1 doesn’t do that, I think it does though).

    Also, when you say collisions is the printer colliding with itself or the part? You can also run an homing routine and manually move the hotend around to see if it has issues.

    Also RE the local event, is the air temp really hot where you are? You might need extra part and hotend cooling if the ambient temp is like 40C or something. I mean like tweak the slicer not put an external fan on it necessarily hah.
