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?

    My first guess is that your temp is off, which is causing the curling you see at the top of the archways and the nozzle is catching that. You might try printing a temp tower (one with exterior overhangs, not just the bridges) to dial in your temp settings.

        Nozzle. Essentially your part isn’t cooling fast enough, so the less structure under the print, the more it tends to curl up as it cools. Also, make sure your cooling fan is working properly
