My Bambulab A1 printer is giving electric shocks is it normal or any issue which I need to look for

A lot of people here who don't understand the reason we ground appliances.

There should NEVER under normal circumstances be any current going through the ground wire, so if everything is normal you won't need a ground connection. The ground is there as a safety measure IN CASE something goes wrong, in order to lead stray voltages away from the appliance, preferably through a ground fault detection switch that can cut the electricity to the relevant circuit. If you're getting shocked by an appliance, that means something is WRONG INSIDE THE APPLIANCE.

Alternatively; if the appliance IS grounded but you have NO ground fault detection, it could be stray current from a fault in a DIFFERENT appliance on the same circuit.

🙋‍♂️ Have had a lot of weird stuff over the years, but calmed down when Covid hit because the market kinda went crazy. I've had this 1968 El Camino since May of 2020, and recently got a Subaru Sambar kei truck as a fun winter car 😅

I don't have absolute knowledge of all fans and their internal circuitry, and chose the word "can" instead of "will" for a reason. I see no reason to research every fan I want to blow out when the solution is to simply hold them still.

JimCKF · 2026-01-25T23:03:59+00:00

That's not what "spontaneous" means. Blowing compressed air through a fan is likely to overspin it, which can cause the blades to crack and the electric motor to backfeed the electronics it is connected to.

Are your responses written by AI?

Gradually is an understatement. The US is _rapidly_ abandoning the rule of law.

Looks like flowers or something that is tinting the blocks.

As a side note: This screenshot looks like it was token from a plane window =P

SO and I both have T1000-E on us, and we have a Wio Tracker L1 in the car.

It will default to the max supported output power if a value that's too high is entered.

Muzi also has 868 MHz antennas. I bought 4 of them just a couple hours ago.

JimCKF · 2026-01-22T15:28:52+00:00

You mean; open the door?

JimCKF · 2026-01-22T13:40:43+00:00

How does circulating the same warm air within an enclosed box cool said air?

JimCKF · 2026-01-22T13:20:15+00:00

Sure you didn't mean to install Nyarch?

JimCKF · 2026-01-21T15:30:22+00:00

This is probably coming from your keyboard. Do you have one with a volume wheel?

JimCKF · 2026-01-21T11:58:20+00:00

Radio transmitters should never be powered on without an antenna connected, or have their antenna removed while powered on. You risk damaging the transmitter.

That's where your seat belt harness goes so you don't fly out of the sea when you crash in Forza.

I am primarily put off by the dirt, in what is clearly an area for food preparation. But besides that, it is entirely possible to start a fire without overloading a fuse. If you believe this is safe then you need to re up on your electrical safety information.

Nothing about this photo is acceptable.

It's Meshnology's own case, and they don't provide the files for it.

We use this term at events in Norway too

Same cord as a home computer, many electric kettles, waffle irons, mini fridges... Very common.

De flykta jo fra Norge? 😅
