Cool video. It's nice to hear from both sides of owners of Bambu Lab printers: The ones where everything goes well, and the ones where things don't. Interesting to see some of the issues you had with it, but also your customer support interactions which seem overall pretty positive.
Kinda crazy. Mine has been perfect and it pretty much runs 24 hours a day for months. Understandably there is a defect rate among any and all product. I’m adding the A1 so this is great to keep an eye out for Incase I hit the defect lottery.
Ive had mine abd it hasnt stopped printing, none of my priters have stopped really , only time i take anything apart is for regular maintenance and what not, are you trying filaments on it you shouldnt? (Real question) im sure you have the hardened steel end if you do, hope it all works out
@@Krunkle78 no I am pretty sure I have only ran PLA and nothing else the only other thing I may and I mean MAY have run would be PETG but I’m pretty sure I didn’t so…
@@thatguymakesthings ithnk he is -was talking about standart size pla, some cheap and noname brands have filament's that are bad in uniformity size. i think that can ruin your tool head.
@@thatguymakesthings Now looking at the hardware. If it was cable should have been resolved by the stepper replace as it has its own cable. And the toolhead board is what it plugs into so no way of the connector actually being faulty if you didn't get unlucky twice. Really is a weird issue. Hope you have a better time with the unit that is on its way to you ^^
so potentially you got faulty printer and therefore you don't recommend it? I have a1 and a1 mini. using maybe every second day for 4-6h for last 3 month or so. Haven't had any single issue that you have mentioned beside once unconnected from wifi but it was weird firmware update which I am assuming they fixed as I had it just once and only on a1 mini. every device can be faulty, send it back - get replacement.
@@Jokershadow696 exactly I hope I have a dud but as you see I did get a replacement but I’m also trying to show my experience and show that I don’t recommend them I personally like customize able machines so Bambu is definitely not the greatest choice but I needed multi color in a pinch so it was my option
@thatguymakesthings bambu printers do not require mods as they print perfectly. You need voron printers. You can customise them. Is a bit weird to buy bambu and be disappointed with not ability to mod them because they fully closed from any tweaks.
@ oh no I am fine with it I just had a part that needed multi color but I also really want to build a voron the only thing stopping me is the price at the moment but the voron is in the top 5 printers to get soon

@@voltdriver that’s the goal to inform you on what my experience is
This gives me some peace of mind as i bought mine on sale but will not be able to open for a bit. And nice vid on reboxing.
@@gunstarherouk thanks man and yeah hope you don’t have issues like this
Glad Your FINALLY getting your replacement.
@@3DandTeePrinting me to hopefully this isn’t a dud

@ right ok yeah no I run very named brands
hey, sounds like a shorted stepper wire related issue to me. Once had to spend 4-5 hours to debug a similar issue on a gimbal I was building.
@@evren.builds yeah the thing is that I replaced the stepper

fire vid
@@NitroKryptic I know right
Probably you used cheap filament
@@nathanielzammit294 how would that work also I use normal to expensive rolls like what?
Dudeeee.. Look at how many printers the guy has and how much filament... I think this guy know what he's doing
@ yeah I might know what I’m doing lol 😂
iv heard-seen on other channels, before that filaments that aren't uniform and 1.75 on the whole roll can ruin the toolhead.
@ I understand that but I’m still trying to figure out how that is relevant but I run very consistent filament
