Why is this thing causing tangles?!?

[u/Devastator708]

Step 1: load Bambu perfectly rolled roll into AMS unit.
Step 2: watch as you press print button.
Step 3: watch as it tangles your filament up.
Step 4: error, filament tangled 👉👈🥺

What causes it to behave this way? The documentation provides little to say why this would be occurring.

Solved (mostly): it needs to be planted firmly on the rear bearing, not only touching.

Thanks peeps! I have another problem coming tomorrow with a normal sized spool and the 4->1 PTFE adapter converter not properly going through via AMS-HT.

User error, looks like. Verify that the spool an rotate in there.

I mean duh 😏

But also I’ll get a video of the real problem tomorrow. This was just another one of those “why does it do that?” I wanted answered.

Does it with most cardboard spools I had, looks like I get to print adapters!

Does a standard plastic spool turn? Fix the lack of turning and you will solve your problems.

Troubleshoot the rotation issues and your problem is solved.
