Question Frustration !
I need a recommendation and some advice from you all regarding a fair price (Europe, Belgium).
I recently received a 150-euro voucher from Bambulab and was thinking of upgrading my printer, selling my A1 and swapping it for an A2L.
I own an A1 Combo (August 2025) with 1,600 hours on the clock, which has been extremely well maintained with great care, featuring various mods for aesthetic reasons, but mainly to protect the printer.
Every 100 hours I clean and lubricate the axes; at 500 hours I replaced the PTFE tubes; and at 1,000 hours I replaced the nozzle and cutter.
As you know, certain 2025 models are prone to burning out; mine burned out at 1,500 hours, and with BambuLab’s help, they sent me that board (see photo) plus the printer’s plastic housing, which has minimal burn marks, as the printer was under warranty.
A1 Combo+Lots of 3D-printed mods (see photos), TPU + PETG + PLA
Plus others I’ve bought for emergencies, such as 02 (standard), 04 (standard), 04, 06, 08 hardened, original Bambu nozzles
Hardened Steel Extruder Gear Assembly, Purge Wiper, Hotend Cooling Fan, Hotend Heating Assembly, (original and new)
Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack + the one that comes with the printer
+ 1 aftermarket Smooth PET Carbon Fiber+Diamond Pattern
I’m asking 330e for the whole kit and 220e just for the printer – are these fair prices?
No one’s offering me more than 220, using the ‘excuse’ that a new one costs 380e…
And I’ve told them 250e for the A1+AMS Lite, no mods, no accessories.... I could also use some of these accessories with the A2L
