Comment on I'm sorry for who fell for the relentless marketing

I just received the A1 for a birthday gift. I’m hoping it was manufactured after Q3 2025:
Bambu Lab stated: After reviewing field data, we determined the benefits of NTC-based inrush protection were outweighed by potential downsides under rare surge conditions. As a result, we implemented a design change in Q3 2025 to remove the PTC from the circuit.

Fuck, I have one from 2024 that’s been sitting in a box until I had the time to get into 3d printing (like yours, it was a gift). Guess I need to buy a fire fighting ball thing for it when I finally get it set up.

Doesn’t this only happen if there’s a power surge? I feel like I heard that somewhere but have nothing to back up my claim. In that case just put it on a surge protector and it shouldn’t be bad?

Man, with this news you may wanna sell it and buy another model/brand before getting into it.

Selling it just means someone else’s safety is at risk.
If Bambu just removed the part someone with a soldering iron should be able to do so as well. Although selling a printer as “broken” means getting 50€ at most…
Don’t set it up, not worth your house, your life or the life of your love ones. Fire is no joke.
