The product, in the report: Bambu Lab A1 White.
In January 2025, I purchased a 3D printer, an A1 Combo from BambuLabs, for my sons birthday. Everything has been working fine until April 1st of 2025. It was producing a weird noise from the hot end, and from there we filed a support ticket. After 20 days of back and forth through email, the only way to communicate with this company, as they do not have a phone number, a replacement sensor was shipped and delivered within a week. The expectation was for me to replace that part, which I did (took about 2 hours of work). It started up, worked for the first 25 mins, and after that we noticed a smell coming from the printer. It was not a plastic smell like Bambu said, it was the smell of burning PCB, the internals of the printer. After this, the printer started smoking and filled the room with a toxic odor. It appeared that something was on fire and after unplugging it, something was still on fire but died down after a bit. We had to open many windows just to not get sick and waited to leave our home to make sure it had cooled down. At this point, we were obviously worried to do something with this printer, and it was clear that so,nothing was terribally wrong, Bambus fault, maybe the replacement part was faulty (I followed their guide to repair it and took extra time to ensure I was doing tasks correctly). I then asked for a replacement or refund, although I was concerned about getting a replacement given this has caught on fire. Bambu, after 5 days through email, said it looked normal and that it was nothing to worry about, and I sent 6 videos of the incident, smoking in all, yet they refused to do anything. In the coming weeks, after many chats, I sent 3 parts to repair it. I got them in a week and started repairing the faulty printer. Once inside, which took about an hour, I noticed burn marks on the silicone, not normal at all, and noticed that the new sensor was burned too. This printer is covered under warranty, and they are unwilling to refund or replace this item, but instead expect a consumer to piece it back together. I do not feel safe with this item in my home, and paid over $600 for this item that I cannot use. They are unreachable other than email, and now have closed my ticket in their system. Something to note is that this same printer was recalled in February 2024 due to a fire risk with the printer. It seems weird that we are seeing the same problem. When I try to find order info, it is all deleted.

No one hurt Made Dec 22, 2024, sent to the company Feb 4, 2025, published by CPSC Feb 19, 2025
The product, in the report: 3-D Printer Physical Dimensions: 385 x 410 x 430 mm (15 x 16 x 17 inches)24 Build Volume: 256 x 256 x 256 mm (10 x 10 x 10 inches)2 Weight: 8.3 kg (18.3 lbs) Color: white/gray
I experienced a serious safety incident with my Bambu Lab A1 3D printer. Here’s the complete sequence of events: Initial Problems: The nozzle cracked mid-print, causing molten filament to spill inside the tool head. After installing a spare nozzle, it detached completely and fell onto the base of the printer, melting through the plastic casing and exposing the Power Supply Unit (PSU). Multiple Repair Attempts: Support sent several replacement parts over multiple shipments: Heating assembly and nozzle (November 7) Power unit and base housing (November 12) Additional parts including nozzle, heating assembly, fans, and wiper (December 5) During the repair process, I encountered difficulties with: PSU unplugging procedures Copper coiling concerns Thermal paste application WiFi antenna removal Belt system complications Critical Safety Incident: On December 20th, despite expressing concerns about safety hazards and clearly identifying myself as fourteen years old, support instructed me to power on the printer with exposed electrical components to upload diagnostic logs. When following these instructions, a loud popping sound occurred and the printer immediately lost all power, becoming completely non-functional. Safety Hazards Present: Exposed Power Supply Unit through melted housing Direct contact between melted plastic and electrical components Support instructing a minor to operate compromised equipment Multiple failed repair attempts leading to increased safety risks Complete system failure with audible popping sound All incidents occurred under adult supervision with full documentation provided to manufacturer support through their chat system. Multiple shipping delays and cancelled shipments complicated the repair process, leading to extended exposure to safety hazards. I was not injured

The product, in the report: A1 3d Printer https://bambulab.com/en-us/a1
Bambu Lab is a leading company manufacturing 3D printers. They released their new model, called A1 (different from their other model, A1 Mini) in December. The printer was very successful and sold many units around the U.S. The printer was sold directly from Bambu Lab’s website (HTTP://bambulab.com) and through retailers (MicroCenter HTTP://microcenter.com). A few days ago Bambu Lab announced that they found out a small number of A1 printers was affected by a defective cable that would have made the printer become a fire hazard.
https://blog.bambulab.com/a1-heatbed-cable-callback/
Right after this announcement, tons of people online started posting photos of their affected cable and it was clear how this issue was affecting many of the units sold.
In a more recent update, Bambu Lab asked ALL users of the A1 printer to immediately stop using the printer, as it can be dangerous to do so.

MicroCenter has also removed all the Bambu Lab A1 printers off the shelves and it is accepting returns. My A1 unit was affected and I returned it at MicroCenter.
