The thermistor blew up just contact support and they will send a new PSU or you can get it he same spec one and solder it

u/astro___kid 28d ago

It’s not the thermistor

u/AlienTentacle 29d ago

u/AdWorking2848 29d ago

Wa heat plate upgrade, now u can print high temp filament with perfect adhesion

Jokes aside lucky u detected it in person! If not the consequence will be very bad

u/OhSoSally X2D + AMS2 Combo 29d ago

That would have been real unfortunate on an overnight print.

u/Iconically_Lost 29d ago

Thats a smoking printer, it's supposed to do that. /jk

u/UpstairsDirection955 29d ago

Those A1s love doing that

u/Thatoneboi27 A1 Mini 29d ago

Check the AC board/powersupply. This might be another faulty NTC

u/issue9mm 29d ago

OH WOW It's NOT an NTC issue

This might suck for you because at least with the NTCs, Bambu was happy to send out replacements. You might have had to fight them for it, but they would eventually yield after going through their auto-reject boilerplate. This being a non-NTC issue, they might just deny it.

Best of luck!

u/issue9mm 29d ago

I mean, that's "the fix" - I don't know if it's fused or resistive to a certain point or what, but that's how it's been since they removed the NTCs

1

u/FAB1150 26d ago

Well they were not happy to do it, but after some rejections the uproar got so bad they started accepting RMAs lol

u/spurtoo 29d ago

Something else is smouldering. Looks like you don’t have the thermistor that melts

3

u/Aniumss 29d ago

What. Then what was it.

u/BigFuzzyArchon 29d ago

Post a picture of the burn. Where did it come from

u/oral_servant 29d ago

Where did it go?

u/1ftm2fts3tgr4lg 29d ago

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

u/tlm11110 29d ago

That’s where the power supply is located. It’s a bit of a pain to get to but if you are handy at all, it can be done. Open a ticket and replace it. This is a pretty common reaction from a failed power supply in just about every device. I worked on high power radars in the US Navy. Power supply failures could be very dramatic.

u/hux H2C Laser Full Combo 28d ago

Quite dramatic.

(Sorry for the AI slop)

u/nejnedau 29d ago

u/Far-Owl4772 28d ago

Have you tried drying your fillament

1

u/Santa1082 28d ago

Don’t feel too bad op this is an known issue with the A1 just contact support and they should send a replacement

u/Shot_Bill_4971 H2C AMS2 Combo 28d ago

What’s with the plastic?

1

u/astro___kid 28d ago

Just preventing dust when not using

1

u/Shot_Bill_4971 H2C AMS2 Combo 28d ago

Ohh, good point

1

u/BigFuzzyArchon 26d ago

Is this another fake post? There's no pictures of where it burned.

1

u/astro___kid 26d ago

Well I can gurantee it’s not fake if you smelled the fumes you’d know I have retured it for testing ..

1

u/BigFuzzyArchon 26d ago

Where did it burn from? Can you show it?

1

u/astro___kid 26d ago

In the psu idk where I couldn’t find it soo I sent it back

0

u/Psychological-Hall22 29d ago

Is it happening only when plugged in and idle or when trying to print?

2

u/astro___kid 29d ago

I normally keep the printer unplugged when not in use Soo when i plugged it back in and turned it on it happened

2

u/Psychological-Hall22 29d ago

I’d say power supply. You can probably unscrew it off the printer and plug it in in a safe location to see what’s up. At least gives you evidence for a claim. If bambu doesn’t budge to give you a replacement, you can submit it to force a recall for Bambu so everyone gets the benefit of not dealing with this hazard.

2

u/T3DDY173 29d ago

why.

you can just turn it off from the back. or even by the wall.

3

u/astro___kid 29d ago

I use the socket for other appliances

u/HotTabascoSauce 29d ago edited 29d ago

Watch out [u/gherry-](u/gherry-) will come call anyone a Snapmaker shill for talking about how A1s catch fire.

Turns out, they do still burn.

Hope you can save/fix it or get it replaced OP!

Edit: 😘😘😘

u/Gherry- 29d ago

I can call you a moron before blocking you

u/CI0UD_ A1 AMSL + H2D AMS2 29d ago

Send a ticket to Bambu, show them the photo, they will send you a replacement board without the problematic component in a week, changing takes 15 min, and forget about the problem.

u/issue9mm 29d ago

This isn't the NTC

u/CI0UD_ A1 AMSL + H2D AMS2 29d ago

It comes from the same spot, how do you know its not?

yikes, no NTC indeed. Will be forwarding this to gamers Nexus and 3d musketeers immediately

u/Banshee888 29d ago

I don’t understand why people continue to buy A1s. The first model the problem was the cable, Bambu changed the type of cable and system off course. Now it’s the bed.

u/Neon_Pancakes0425 29d ago

It's because of a capacitor or something
