Developer re-enables 3D printer features that Bambu Lab disabled, firm promptly threatens legal action
“So that burned mess between the two A1 printers would point to something really big going on there, and the damage to the side of the A1 on the right could be caused by proximity to whatever happened in the middle. Without any video evidence of the fire happening, we're left to speculate with the video we have available (and some mildly annoying music). I'm not saying the A1 didn't have a failure, but I'm not going to make the evidence fit the narrative; it has to be the other way around for this to work,” said Redditor Spyglass.
Grant Posner , posting under his Reddit handle Mobius1ace5, confirmed he has reached out to the owner of the burnt machine in hopes of solving this mystery.
“Yes I am assuming it's stemming from the NTC. The rags there likely factor in some too. And no, it's at the same place I believe. It's why we have contacted the user to not only get more info but to try and buy the machine so we can have it tested. Anything else is pure conjecture,” he said.
