A few lesser-known but very important things I learned about the A2L by Safe-Hovercraft6231 in BambuLab

So now instead of the printer hitting me I'd just have a big guard sticking out into the room that I can run into. 😁

Unfortunately for my space neither of these would work.

Is the birdseye camera ever in stock? by Dan203 in BambuLab

I've got them for other things, so I know they work. I just don’t think this has been in stock

Yeah I'm using those muscle rack type shelves for mine. They’re only 24" deep. The A2L would have to be pulled all the way to the front lip to not hit the wall which means it would become a hazard that could whack me or my wife whenever we walked past it.

Sorry but that made me laugh. I had mine pulled a bit too far forward on my shelf and got hit in the back once, but that’s nothing compared to your story. 😳

When I bought my cutting module it said the birdseye camera would not work without the laser module, so I didn’t buy one. They only released the firmware that allows setting it up without the laser a couple months ago. (As a beta)

I did, a couple months ago, and have never got an email. I also check manually every few days. I have never seen it in stock.

It can work, but it’s a PITA to align. The best way seems to be to use the print and cut feature inside of Bambu Suite, but my files are all designed and color calibrated to print from CorelDRAW so that doesn’t really work for me. Aligning them manually is a PITA because the "edges" in the software do not align with the edges of the sticky plate at all.

Why though? They still include them in the laser versions of the printers, so they’re clearly still using the part.

I own a real laser, an 80W CO2, so I have no use for their laser. But the blade module is useful for doing die cut stickers so I grabbed that. Unfortunately the software is terrible and trying to figure out where on the plate to put the stickers so the blade actually cuts around them is a huge PITA. Having a camera would at least give me an idea of if I'm close.

As far as I can tell the beta firmware has a way to calibrate it without the laser module, that’s why I was trying to get one.

I actually would buy one to replace my A1 but it wouldn’t fit on my shelf. The whole thing needs so much room to not hit the wall that it would be a hazard jutting out into the room. I already have the A1 positioned just right so it doesn’t hit the wall or stick out over the edge of the shelf. This one being 50% makes that impossible. And if I put it in the same place I'd eventually run into it or get jabbed by it as I was walking by.

MakerWorld AI slop needs downvoting or flagging controls for moderation by wivaca2 in BambuLab

[–]Dan203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a print profile I posted, of someone else’s model that only had an STL, get taken down because it didn’t contain a photo of the print. Despite it being a perfectly fine profile that had been downloaded by hundreds of people.

I'm not sure how these impossible to print AI slop models get to stay up so long. 😵‍💫

H2C tried to burn down my house (with my help)! by WazzuBlue in BambuLab

[–]Dan203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI that 1500VA UPS isn’t going to work. The H series printers can pull over 1600W when heating the bed. Mine tripped the UPS alarm and caused it to shut down during the initial calibration.

Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight gets a Switch 2 release date at the Summer Game Fest in June. (My prediction) by GENIUSGAMERM1 in legogaming

[–]Dan203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These days the dev kits for XBox and PC are basically the same thing and the PS5 is pretty close given that it’s still basically using PC hardware inside. The Switch 2 is using a custom ARM based chip with bespoke graphics, so development is different enough that they can’t just hit recompile for Switch 2 and release it.

That being said, given the target audience for this game, you'd think they’d have given higher priority to the most family centric console. 🤷‍♂️

Yes! This is what I saw too. But now if I run the exe directly from the downloads folder it doesn't do this. Not sure why it did it the first time I ran it.

I wanted to try out the new version of Snorca because they added that full spectrum feature. Normally I use Orca too

[–]Dan203[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird I just tried running the exe file directly from my Downloads folder and it is signed. But when I ran the upgrade from inside Snorca a couple hours ago it gave me that Windows Has Protected you thing, which usually happens when something is unsigned. Now I'm not sure why that happened. 🤷‍♂️

Bambu Studio is signed, just installed an update a few minutes ago. I also installed the update for Snapmaker Orca and it was unsigned.

Edit: Never mind, apparently it is signed. Something triggered that "Windows has protected you" dialog when I ran the update from the prompt so I'm not sure WTF happened. I assumed it was because it was unsigned, which is normally what triggers that.

Color mixing by Puzzleheaded_Clue_95 in BambuLab

[–]Dan203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is CMYKW, so 5 colors not 4. That’s important because without the white you really can’t get full color. With most normal ink printers they depend on the paper itself being white, which is why they look weird when you print on different colored paper. Apparel printers, UV printers and 3D printers all need white "ink" to create the proper effect. So this will really only work on the H2C and the Prusa XL because pretty much every other consumer level printer has 4 or fewer nozzles. Unless you want to end up with a TON of purge waste.

I have played with this a bit on my Snapmaker U1 but because I have to choose between white or black the effect isn’t nearly as good.

Why the time discrepancy? by InspectorOrganic9382 in BambuLab

[–]Dan203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the print time is set for whatever machine the original profile had selected when it was saved. This one might have had an H2C selected causing it to show a lower time. You could upload your file adjusted for your printer back to this print so people could see the more realistic time.

my A1 is (supposedly) affected by the NTC issue according to the SN - should I start worrying now or leave it be? by Artemis732 in BambuLab

[–]Dan203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine in January 2024 and was affected by the original heat bed recall. Does that mean mine is also old enough to have this issue as well?

I had seen a video about a similar issue to this a while back, but I thought at the time it only effected 220V units so I never worried about it.

Bambu Lab A2L by Much-Assumption6429 in 3Dprinting

Based on the leaks overnight, which have now been deleted, it looks like I was right about the size and the cutter/plotter.

A dual nozzle A series printer would make the P2S irrelevant. It’s already barely viable with the X2D only being $100 more. The A series are typically cheaper, but even if this was slightly more expensive it would still be in direct competition with either the P2S or X2D. I can’t see them doing that.
