Hello, I’m looking to upgrade my A1 to the A2L for an improved print volume. However, I’m not quite sure it will fit in my current environment. Would be awesome to get some info from someone who owns an A2L to determine if it’s possible or not. I can not fulfil the clearances req. by BambuLab, but…

Adding this, a Bambu rep said the bed protrudes about 10cm from the rear edge of the printer which gives me about 14cm to the rear edge (7cm to the radiator) [image]

The ignition temperature of paper, and most fabrics is above 280. Most open printers running PLA or PETG aren’t going to set that off even if it somehow flaps into the open machine. Unless it’s an old A1 without the repair, in which case the problem should be addressed there instead. I can’t comme…

Thank you for the concern, but I’m mainly looking for info regarding whether it will fit or not. I’m not trying to downplay safety precautions, but I struggle to find any of the official posts/document from Bambu Lab describing the requirements you state. From what I can find, the only thing that i…

Further adding this from asking the Bambu AI: ”Based on official Bambu Lab documentation, there is no specific requirement stating that the A1 must be placed on a “heat-resistant surface” due to a general fire risk from the base of the printer. However, there are critical safety warnings regarding …

[image] n_bagge: Further adding this from asking the Bambu AI: As I said, read the linked thread first and then we can talk some more. You might see things from a different perspective. You don’t have to take my advice - it’s just a suggestion. :+1:

[image] RetroSharky: The A1 series, in particular, but also the A2 series, require a heat-resistant surface. I like the idea of taking precautions, but I dont see a reason to drag the A2L into the fire hazard category. Same way that the A1 mini was never dragged into that. It has a different…

I just took these, so you can see how much space o dedicated to it. The bottom shots have a ruler in them. My guess is, the space you showed is too small in all directions. I have mine hooked up to an AMS as I had one spare and I did not purchase the AMS lite because of this. The position of my A…
