Prints started to get all wonky about a week ago. I couldn't figure out the problem. Changed the nozzle, tighten the belts, lubed the z screws, and cleaned the carbon fiber rods. Disassembled the extruder and I didn't see any clogging, but when I disassembled the hall sensor, I noticed a lot of wear. Then I found a piece of metal inside the extruder that I suspect broke off from the hall sensor somehow. A new extruder arrived yesterday and the X1C is printing like a champ again.

What are the replacement costs for this? I've heard that Bambu uses all proprietary parts so there's no buying Chinese knockoffs at a discount.

$45. I'm 100% ok with spending $45 after 3000 hours. So far I feel I'm getting good value for my money both with the printer and the parts.
