My First Bambu Lab Printer and My Last
My first Bambu Lab printer and my last. I've had my A2L for three days and run about 15 prints, and I've never had to babysit a printer this much. No matter the filament, nozzle, or temperature, there's always something wrong. It's been throwing nozzle-clumping sensor errors at the end of prints and even during maintenance, when nothing was printing at all. This started right after a firmware update, on a printer that's three days old. The AMS Lite is just as bad. It somehow lets the filament go slack on the spool, and then it tangles no matter what position the spool is in or how I load it. It's not the filament either: Bambu's own spools and Creality spools both tangle the same way. And the unit is so shaky that it has fallen over twice during printing. And don't get me started on the camera. Why even include one if it's going to be this bad? The frustrating part is I also bought the blade cutting tool kit and the pen plotter that whole modular system is the entire reason I chose this printer. I haven't even gotten to test them yet, because I've been too busy troubleshooting basic printing to see if its even worth keeping. 15 prints in three days, and I've spent more time troubleshooting than printing. For a machine marketed as 'it just works,' that's not good enough. And before anyone asks "did you troubleshoot, did you reinstall the nozzle?" yes, I have. I've spent an entire day/night going through Bambu Lab's recommendations, videos, forums, and their official training guide for this printer.
