Bambu Lab has recalled approximately 12,800 model A1 3D printers because the heatbed cable can bend or become damaged during use. If damaged, the cable can short-circuit and spark or burn through its insulation, posing serious risks of fire and electric shock. The company has received 19 reports of damaged cables, including one report of a cable sparking, though no injuries have been reported. These printers were sold at Micro Center and online between December 2023 and January 2024.
A damaged or bent heatbed cable can short-circuit and cause sparking or combustion of the insulation layer. This defect creates a direct risk of fire or electrical shock to the user.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled 3D printers, and contact Bambu Lab to arrange either (1) return of their A1 3D printers for a full refund, or (2) for free replacement of the heatbed and cable by a local electronics repair facility. Consumers requesting a full refund will be sent a prepaid shipping label to return the printer. Consumers should not attempt to fix the recalled product themselves. Bambu Lab has contacted all known purchasers.
