Comment on Prusa releases upgrades for Core One+, Core One L, and XL
Bluewing@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m in the US and on 120V power. Which only provides a quarter of the power vs the 240V mains used in Europe, to the heat bed making it far less likely to happen. Plus, I use a surge protector for it. Nor do I run overnight prints because I don’t trust ANY 3D printer. And that includes my Prusa. I’m no Bambu fanboi, but one reported case of a mini catching fire is statistically irrelevant.
That said, there is an inherently greater risk of fire with certain types of hobbies. And 3D printing is one of them.

I’m not a fanboi of any brand too, but just a FYI, it has been multiple reports, instead of an isolated case.
Glad to hear you are well aware of overall risks, as that might not be the case for newcomers that might read these posts, so I prefer to at least let them know of it. And as always, letś have fun at it

How many is multiple? I want to know because this is important information to me. But I also want to be unbiased in my evaluation of risk.Your link is the first I have heard of the mini having issues. And they only list 1 mini, all the rest are A1 machines. I cannot find in my searching for any other mini that has melted or caught fire. It certainly does not show up in any other 3D printing forum I have been in except here this one time for one machine.

Oops, my bad. Apologies, as I forgot we were talking about A1 Minis specifically when I mentioned “multiple reports” in my last comment.
