HMS_0700_0100

Bambu Lab 3D Printer

Severity:

What Does This Error Mean?

HMS_0700_0100 on a Bambu Lab printer means the heatbed temperature sensor is reading abnormally — the bed is not heating, heating too fast, or the sensor has disconnected. The print stops immediately. Power off and inspect the bed wiring.

Affected Models

  • Bambu Lab X1 Carbon
  • Bambu Lab X1
  • Bambu Lab P1S
  • Bambu Lab P1P
  • Bambu Lab A1

Common Causes

  • Heatbed thermistor (sensor) wiring loose or disconnected
  • Heatbed cartridge heater failed
  • Mains supply voltage too low to heat the bed quickly enough
  • Thermistor itself failed (shorted or open circuit)

How to Fix It

  1. Power off the printer at the switch.

    Turn the printer off and unplug from the mains. Leave for 5 minutes to ensure complete shutdown of any thermal protection latches.

  2. Inspect the heatbed cable.

    Look at the cable that runs from the back of the heatbed to the controller. Check for visible kinks, burned spots, or a loose connector. Pinched cables in the rear cable management are a common cause.

  3. Restart and try a low-temperature print.

    Power on, attempt a print at a low bed temperature (50°C for PLA). If the bed fails to heat at all, the heater cartridge has failed. If the bed heats but the error persists, the thermistor is the issue.

  4. Check ambient temperature.

    Bambu Lab printers struggle to heat the bed in cold environments (below 10°C / 50°F). Move the printer indoors and retry — printing in a cold garage can trigger HMS_0700_0100 even with healthy hardware.

  5. Contact Bambu Lab support if needed.

    Persistent HMS_0700_0100 with healthy wiring and normal ambient temperature requires a heatbed assembly replacement. Bambu Lab supports warranty replacements via their support portal.

When to Call a Professional

If the thermistor or heater wiring is damaged inside the heatbed assembly, contact Bambu Lab support — opening the bed assembly without an antistatic setup can damage the controller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep printing with HMS_0700_0100?

No — the printer halts to prevent fire risk. Heatbed temperature errors are a safety lockout. Continuing to print without resolving the underlying cause is not possible until the bed reads correctly.

How long should the Bambu Lab heatbed take to heat?

From 25°C to 60°C: roughly 60–90 seconds. From 25°C to 100°C: roughly 3–4 minutes. Significantly longer times indicate a power supply issue or a partially failed heater cartridge.
