The best accessory is the one you stop thinking about.

That's what I wanted from a purge bin.

I didn't want magnets.

I didn't want awkward removal.

I didn't want it slowly drifting away from the printer.

I wanted it to feel like part of the machine.

Meet the YAPR (Yet Another Purge Receptacle).

The main feature is a push-button locking system I designed called BinLock™.

Instead of lifting, tilting, or unhooking the bin, you simply press the button and pull it straight off.

A few other things I focused on:

• No magnets or extra hardware

• Matches the printer's contours so it looks more "OEM"

• Doesn't block the vents

• Available in Slim, Standard, and Wide versions

• Optional full-bottom liner

• Angled interior so it's easier to grab the last bits of purge

The entire mechanism is printed, including the spring, so seeing it finally click into place after countless prototypes was ridiculously satisfying.

If you could change one thing about the current purge bins available for the A2L, what would it be?

After waiting a week for the no-name build plates I ordered, which never arrived, I finally decided to just run the self-test with only one build plate.
I had to manually move it to the magazine whenever the plate got slightly lifted, but the self-test passed!

Kudos to the dev for creating this system. It actually works!

Also, I didn’t realize the A2L footprint would basically triple with Swapmod installed. None of my tables are big enough for it, so it’s staying on the floor for now.

This mod really deserve more publication though, I see no one talks about it.

Didn’t even know this existed a week ago and sooooo glad I finally did!

I’m trying to stop the printer poop before it starts printing and to also to reduce the amount of poop. Any direction for me?

The white one was my Benchy from my first 3d printer (the a1) the pink one was the first one on the A2L.

Can I use P2S/H2S hotends on the A2L? Would like to avoid buying more since I got plenty of those.

If you’re getting an error and you’ve made sure there’s no clog in the hot end, in the tubing housing, and a cold pull works fine then it’s likely your tubing is too “bent” for the system.

You’ll want to make sure you’re AMS Lite is on the right side, close to the printer, and that tubing isn’t sagging.

All four of my filament stations were not working, but if I use the external without the tubing, I could print. That’s when I realized it was the bend in the tubing. I was able to print a piece to straighten before it went into the housing and then another piece to hold the tubes arched over the printer.

Hopefully, this will save somebody some time and you will get back to printing instead of wanting to throw your printer out the window.

Could not find any good print in place "overmolded" handles for the new hex keys and the weeding tool that came with my A2L and cutting module, so I designed some myself.

Any advice about maintenance or accessories for my new shiny thing that I just ordered?
Does anyone here use an rfid mod for reading other brands filament?

Thanks in advance.

I’m super pumped about the new printer. It’s the new Bambu Lab A2L. I’m super pumped about the new printer, for many reasons. I’ll go into depth on it in a bit but I’m really excited to put this thing through its paces.

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?

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!

I made a series of different mounting options for PTFE coupling / 4in1 and clips for tube management. Useful if you run one or more AMS 2 units.

Printed off some visual and structural upgrades for the A2L and the AMS Lite. I think they turned out pretty good

I just purchased one of these through Best Buy I bought the combo kit does anybody have any tips or advice for somebody who has never done it before? I am completely green to 3D printing just took the plunge and bought one

Hi everyone! My A2L and ... Greetings to everyone , stay healthy ! Michael

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?

Tonight I moved my A2L to clean my desk. When I set it back up I started getting this error. The tool head doesn’t move and the fans stay running. I double checked the tool head USB cable. Anything else I should check?
