Error HMS_0600-0100: Align Heads on Bambu Lab Printers
When your Bambu Lab printer displays the code HMS_0600-0100, it is detecting a critical alignment issue. During its self-check, the system measures that the position of one tool head differs too much from another, exceeding the limits that the software can compensate for. This causes each head to deposit filament in the wrong place, ruining precision when printing with multiple colors or materials. 🚨
What to Do When the Warning Appears
It is crucial to stop any job immediately. Ignoring this message can damage your print. The printer will guide you to run the head alignment calibration procedure. You can start it from the maintenance menu on the device's touchscreen or through the Bambu Studio software connected to your computer.
Calibration Process Steps:- The machine automatically moves the heads.
- It uses an integrated laser sensor to precisely measure their relative positions.
- The system recalibrates and adjusts the internal values to correct the misalignment.
Misaligned heads are like a team that doesn't coordinate: the final result will never be optimal.
If Calibration Does Not Solve the Problem
When the error reappears after calibrating, the cause is usually physical. In this case, you must check the mechanical components of your printer.
Components to Check:- Nozzles and Couplings: Turn off the printer and check that all nozzles are properly tightened. Clean any plastic residue or dirt from the surfaces where the heads couple.
- Tool Carriage: Ensure it slides smoothly along its rails and has no play or obstructions.
- Laser Sensor: Sometimes, carefully cleaning the sensor on the head can restore its proper function.
Final Steps and Contacting Support
If after inspecting and cleaning all elements the error code HMS_0600-0100 continues to appear consistently, there is likely a more complex mechanical problem. In this situation, the most recommended step is to contact Bambu Lab's official technical support. They can provide you with advanced diagnostic guidance or indicate the next steps to repair your equipment and get your heads working in perfect harmony again. 🔧
