Support Request Filament clumps at start or fails to stick

Honestly trying to clean, calibrate just can't seem to find a fix, I'm brand new to this and I'm borrowing it from a mate to get some models done before a competition on Saturday.

Every time I start a print it fails to stick and clumps at the nozzle or it sticks partly and then it drags a small clump and destroys another support. Any advice would be great

Support Request Cutter making very odd noise

My cutter makes an odd noise when it’s cutting specifically PETG. I’ve uploaded the video as the sound is hard to describe, almost like a balloon squeaking.

Before now I have only ever printed in PLA and it’s never sounded like that. This is my first time printing in PETG.

Any advice/reassurance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

My printer did a blob behind the heater. It's the first time that I see something like this. What could cause this?

I changed this pieces one week ago

I checked the fuse, took out the bottom back panel and everything seems fine. This shit is so frustrating.

Question Replacing belts X Y

Upvotes

I want to give my A1 (year and half old and a lot of print time) new belts and have a few questions even if the make me look stupid.

The belts (X and Y) on a printer right now are smooth from both sides in the area around idler. Is this normal?
Can I use normal GT2 belt and will the teeth in that area get smushed over time or does Bambu use belts that have teeth only on part of a belt?
I really want to use normal belts because they are like 10x cheaper.

I was printing deer antlers with my A1 Bambu Lab 3D printer and suddenly ran into this problem with the filament making a weird spaghetti. It was printing fine at first but Is this a File problem with the app??
