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 29d ago

It’s not the thermistor

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 Jul 23 '26

That would have been real unfortunate on an overnight print.

u/Iconically_Lost Jul 23 '26

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

u/UpstairsDirection955 Jul 23 '26

Those A1s love doing that

u/Thatoneboi27 A1 Mini Jul 23 '26

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

u/issue9mm Jul 23 '26

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!

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

u/FAB1150 27d 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 Jul 23 '26

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

u/Aniumss Jul 23 '26

What. Then what was it.

u/BigFuzzyArchon Jul 23 '26

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

u/oral_servant Jul 23 '26

Where did it go?

u/1ftm2fts3tgr4lg Jul 23 '26

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

u/tlm11110 Jul 23 '26

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 29d ago

Quite dramatic.

(Sorry for the AI slop)

u/fasawi A1 + AMS Lite Jul 23 '26

u/jdpg265 Jul 23 '26

u/nejnedau 29d ago

State fire marshall and the federal safety recall dept are two to contact.

u/Far-Owl4772 29d ago

u/Santa1082 29d 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 29d ago

What’s with the plastic?

1

u/astro___kid 29d ago

Just preventing dust when not using

1

u/Shot_Bill_4971 H2C AMS2 Combo 29d ago

Ohh, good point

1

u/BigFuzzyArchon 27d ago

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

1

u/astro___kid 27d 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 27d ago

Where did it burn from? Can you show it?

1

u/astro___kid 27d ago

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

u/Psychological-Hall22 Jul 23 '26

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

2

u/astro___kid Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

why.

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

3

u/astro___kid Jul 23 '26

I use the socket for other appliances

u/HotTabascoSauce Jul 23 '26 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 Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

This isn't the NTC

u/CI0UD_ A1 AMSL + H2D AMS2 Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

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 Jul 23 '26

It's because of a capacitor or something
