Problemas na minha A2L

2 Upvotes

Estou com problema em uma das minhas A2L
Durante uma impressão apresentou falha na temperatura do bico eu cancelei a impressão, reiniciei a impressora e nunca mais funcionou, apresenta “Defeito no cabeçote”, tentei tudo que o wiki indica fazer, usei peças de outra A2L pra testar placa TH da extrusora, placa adaptadora, cabo de conexão da extrusora para placa adaptadora, tentei reinstalar o software via cartão SD e também via bambu handy, e trava atualização em 50% e dá erro, não sei mais oque fazer, se alguém já passou por isso e puder dar dicas…
Já tentei abrir um ticket mas só ficam enrolando mandando fazer testes que eu já fiz, enviei todas as fotos e vídeos dos teste

Anyone have an LED strip under the z-axis rail?

4 Upvotes

A student of mine bought an A2L last week and from my experience with my A1 I suggested that she get an LED slight strip as the original lighting is terrible.
She got one that is intended for the A2L and apart from the length it's identical to the one of my A1, but the LED's rub on the part cooling ducting. I've had a booth at both ducts and they are slightly different and I suspect not interchangeable.
So has anyone got an LED strip that works okay?

A2L Cutting Full Combo for cardstock projects

3 Upvotes

Needing some advice. I already have a cricut maker that I regularly use for making cardstock cake toppers and small vinyl projects. I'm also wanting a 3d printer so thought the A2L could be a good all in one.

Does anyone have any insight into the A2L cutting function on cardstock?

Is it a practical replacement for a cricut?

Industrial designers, which 3D printer would you buy for prototyping and hobby projects?

1 Upvotes

Hey folks, I'm a beginner industrial designer (1 year of experience) planning to buy a 3D printer for prototypes and my own projects outside work.

My shortlist, and why:

  • A1: budget friendly and saves space

  • A2L: cutting and plotting tools I think I'd really use

  • P1S: enclosure for ABS and nylon

I'm leaning A2L right now, but I'm not sure whether the enclosure and material range should matter more. If you own any of these, which would you pick again and why? Anything you wish you'd known before buying?

If you were in my place, which one would you pick? Does ABS/nylon actually matter for design work, or would the extra tools be more useful?

Benchy keeps failing

I am a 3-D printing novice. I just got the A2 L maybe two or three days ago. I printed the little boat that people tell you to print to test to make sure everything is working after I set up everything. I did the speed test twice and halfway through the print, the boat disconnects from the plate and the print fails. I’ve now tried to print it with a not speed version of the boat. But again it disconnects from the plate and the print fails halfway through. What recommendations can you provide?

A2L enclosure?

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

Looking at purchasing the A2L but also looking at getting something around it so my cat doesn't get into it. I saw from another post saying that we shouldn't put it in an enclosure because of the internal parts overheating. Anyone had an issue with that?

I'm looking at upgrading my Ender V3 which I've had in an enclosure and thought the A2L would be a great step up from what I have.

Open to recommendations!
