🚨ATTENTION🚨 There's been an official update from Bambu Lab for the A1 heatbed cable call back since this video was released. Please disregard the information on the first accessory that I mentioned. Bambu Lab has escalated the matter and they're saying that ALL OWNERS SHOULD STOP USING THIER A1s IMMEDIATELY. There are 2 options available to move forward. Option 1 - return/refund the A1 and receive a $80 credit in addition. Or Option 2 - wait until the end of March for Bambu Lab to send replacement parts and receive a $120 credit in addition. Read their updated blog article here 👉blog.bambulab.com/a1-recall-update/ I'll create a follow-up video shortly that goes into detail.
For most that cable is NOT an issue. Bambu is just covering their backsides by doing the recall. That cable guard would work forever.
BTW Bambu is NOT providing a cable replacement. They are proiding a complete heated Bed replacement. I just recieved and installed mine. Easy peezy with thier instructions.
Great video!
I just ordered mine yesterday, hoping to get it soon to compliment my behemoth Anycubic Kobra 2 Max! It makes awesome huge pieces like helmets and supports/shelving/organizers, and does decently well on smaller items but now i will have this for higher detailed, multicolored projects
This is the future. I just bought one a few days ago. It’s coming in. I haven’t looked up any news if they happen to solve them, but I’ll be printing these just to be sure.
Great list of accessories. Love the video. Thanks!
Thanks for supporting!
Thanks for sharing, this is a great assortment of upgrades!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment.
Very to the point.. Love it!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Very helpful. I was always procrastinating because of the footprint of the printer, but the guide on getting the AMS on the printer bridge was really what got me eventually to make the buy. Thanks
Thanks for the support! Glad I could help you reach a decision. Hope you enjoy the printer.
Creatorrific: good job taking the time sharing. some of ur ideas with us.
Thanks for the support!
great list! very well done video
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.
Even if you dont have an AMS lite the Z brackets make the printer much more rigid and id highly recommned it.
Well narrated. Nice video. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching!
DAMN your so underrated! if i had only seen the video i wouldve thought you have 200k+ subs! Your video is just sucha high quality one! simple yet cool designed moving elements, nice voiceover, and good clips. perfect video theres nothing bad about it.
🙏 Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for watching and for the support!
Good thing is i got this printer yesterday and that was first thing i checked and it was already fixed with a mesh tube if you call it that way
Excellent video! You'll go far on this platform. Well done.
Thanks a lot for your support!
Very nice selections. I have most of those printed. The newest a1 firmware has bed detection and sometimes had issues with the bed plate corner aligner, so I'd exclude they one. Great video, thanks. And I'm keeping my a1, it's just so good. I've purchased an a1 mini while i wait for the revised a1 heatbed.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to keep my A1 as well, but I'm deciding between the A1 Mini or the Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro as a replacement in the meantime.
Had the same issue with mine since the update. Took a while to figure it out but then saw that the corner aligner was melted where the tip was touching it. Keeping my A1 as well. Nice machines and no issues. I've got my ticket in and will wait for new heat bed to arrive. Thinking of getting a P or X series in the meantime.
There is an updated corner locator for the new firmware which fixes this issue
Great video. I like that top mount. Most in the past do not have the stiffeners and the A1 is top heavy the the top mount AMS, this solves that problem. I didn't have any problem aligning the build plate with my pre-recall A1 but seem to with it's replacement I just got. Not sure it's it's the new printer or what. If they would remove or move forward the rear magnets on the heat bed I thing it would solve this problem or make the stops on the back of the heat bed bigger/taller. While I like my BBL A1 regretfully "getting back to you quickly" (14.32) is not a something BBL apparently can do. Their support is some of the worst I have ever seen.
The Callback has been changed to a full recall, FYI.
Great video and excellent tutorial on the AMS bracket. Have you come across a good solution for keeping the filament dry while on the AMS lite?
Thanks! I haven't found a solution while it's on the AMS Lite, but the Sunlu S4 filament dryer fits 4 spools - perfeft match. I''m going to grab one of those and I'll just dry filament in there before loading using the AMS.
I find the scraper to be a bit too scrapy for textured PEI plates. In my experience, the best tool for the job is a scraper made for an oscillating multitool. Spend the money to get a good one and it should be good right from the package. If you cheap out, make sure you take the time to remove the burr from the scraper before use. Either way, these never fail me.
Thanks, I might give that a try. You're right, the metal blades are probably best for the smooth plates.
What is interesting about this damaged cable thing with Bambu Lab A1 I just watched aurora tech review on the printer.. and you could see, that their printers cable was damaged, just like in the example image from bambu lab
I wanted to tell you what an awesome video this was! very professional, extremely informational and well put together! It's a very classy touch that you give links to all the things that you spoke about through the video. I also have an A1 purchased in December set it up after Christmas and after a slight adjustment to the heat bed it has worked awesome. My cable to the heat bed shows no sign of fatigue although I'm holding off using it and I am NOT returning it!I had considered buying an X1 Carbon but I'm holding off on that too to see how well they pull off the repair of this very nice little machine. Thanks again for the great video! P@t
Thanks a lot for your support P@t! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully, we can get back to fully enjoying this machine in a few weeks when Bambu Lab ships those replacement heat beds.
the build plate alligner is now obsolete since the latest update. it now puts the hot nozzle over in the top right hand corner on the 2nd layer and it melts and collects the clip haha
Oh shoot, that's not good. Thanks for the info!
After recall I would add the A1 Heatbed Cable Chain by dalelovelace and the Bambu Hubcap - AMS Lite Rotary Spool Lock by SThane all are on Maker World.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check those out.
The shitty tubing fittings should have been recalled from the start. Biggest gripe. Ive neber in my life had such a hard time removing tubing and I deal with push connect air fittings almost daily at work.
another great video, thanks :) tbh I am not sure if you need any other build plates, from what I have read provided textured PEI should be the best in every regard, at least out of ones bambu sells.
Thanks! I love the textured PEI plate also. It's a nice finish for the bottom of prints but if the print's orientated on its side, I prefer a smooth finish to match the other side. Otherwise textured PEI plate all the way!
@@Creatorrific yeah that makes sense, thanks :)
The hot bed cable protector is NOT a nessary thing since Bambu has done a recall to replace the heated Beds!!!!!
Can you print tpu on the A1?
Hey, thanks for watching! You can definitely print TPU using the A1.
È un grave errore mettere tutto quel peso in cima all'albergo, le vibrazioni e il peso eccessivo dell'intero sistema AMS introducono ulteriori flessioni alla struttura dell'asse Z cosa per cui non è progettata, questo set-up non ha alcun senso
May want to reupload this as they dony want you using the A1 at all now and total recall. So that information old in the video and could be confusing.
You're missing a fire extinguisher on the list
Great video!
