Hi!
Happened again last night…. Sunlu spool had a tangle and the printer continued air printing for hours…
I thought the printer was supposed to detect these issues… my A1 Mini does it and it is older tech…. What am I missing?
THX,
R.

I have two A1 minis, and they do not detect tangles; both my Sparkx i7 and my two A1 minis experience this issue, which is always the result of user error. In my case, the A1 mini struggled with PTFE tubes that were too long (I was feeding PLA filament through a Space Pi 2 Plus into the A1 mini using a very long PTFE tube; the friction caused a tangle, and the printer kept running “in the air” for two hours—the same thing happens with the Sparkx i7). I strongly recommend disassembling the entire extruder unit and using a brush to clean the gear teeth.
