I can remember one more - they promised to license their RFID technology to 3rd party filament manufacturers. We all know how that played out…
I did glance at his animation that you posted. That is irrelevant to my use of the 3D printer. I will never print that object like that. Even if it can printed successfully, it will be a weak part. That object is to be printed laying down.
This is just one example why I don’t follow youtubers. Their opinions have no relevancy to how I use my printer.
I am not interested in what he is or isn’t, or what his fans think of him, or if he is for or against the printer. I have never watched any Youtubers before making a 3D printer buying decision. I typically buy a printer only after enough real users have shown that it is reliable.
I don’t watch and listen to any youtuber’s opinions if I have no interest in them, no matter how great others may think of any particular youtubers. I hope that’s ok with you 
P.S. I didnt’ meant to quote that big chunk of your post. I only wanted to quote a short sentence, but something went wrong… Maybe a bug
I said the video is helpful for beginners, not that you’re too incompetent to print. Can’t you tell the difference between what’s directed at you and what I said is interesting for beginners?
How can you badmouth helpful tips for beginners like that and then say, “Yeah, but I don’t do that!” You realize that yourself, right?
Besides, you didn’t understand what it was about at all if you didn’t watch the video… but it doesn’t really matter now, honestly. Please just distinguish between what’s directed at you and what I said - which might be useful for newbies. That really isn’t asking too much - if in doubt, just ask. 
I actually suspect that you always take everything 100% personally, even though my comment is mostly about how the video can help newbies.
No, no problem. 
Wtf is even the purpose of this back and forth?
The demonstration is not one of purpose, it is one of capabilities.
I think its an important, but not important enough to go back and forth about.
Like this. No way in ■■■■ can I print this on a bedslinger without slowing the speeds way down. Just too much wobble. If the A2L can compensate, then great.
Context: Badmouthing helpful tips for beginners. If he hadn’t done that, the matter would have been settled. However, I get really irritated when someone tries to stop people from posting helpful tips and videos. That’s totally unacceptable.
However, I’m going to drop the matter for now. Everyone is free to form their own opinion.
Sure the context is the easy part.
The purpose of why the comment needed to me made in the first place is the hard part to figure out.
Instead of performing a deep analysis, perhaps an admin could set up a separate A2L section where we could categorise those kinds of topics and side discussions. Then it would be possible to create threads such as:
- I’m so excited - I’m going to buy it!
- I’m disappointed, so I’m not buying it!
- Help regarding A2L
…unravel such topics a bit.
Based on A2L design, I would say that there would a third one:
“My tower fails mid-print, help!”
All weird talk aside … what I really struggle to understand is … this A2L is massive bedslinger, there bound to be a lot of threads and questions from padawans asking for the help with stability and adhesion. Anyway, would be interesting to see how popular A2L would be… something tells me, it would be hard to compete with P2S, unless you are a cosplayer specifically.
That, and exactly that, because we always see things only from our own perspective. The fact is, most customers are now simply Bambu mobile app users who just click “Print” without giving it a second thought.
We need to keep in mind who the new customers are, which is why I’ve lovingly named the A2L => A2E Printer “for Etsy.” These are the new customers: cosplayers, paper crafters, artists…
They’ve never worked with 3D printing before. While the A1 Mini is forgiving of mistakes - simply because of its small build size - the A2L requires a bit more careful planning.
What customers expect and what Bambu promises: Tap “Print” on the app and enjoy the results. These are the customers. A piece of cake to print. Note also how Bambu is now promoting a healthy brand image: confirms ultra-low emissions, making the A2L safe for indoor use
In a nutshell: We’re dealing with a whole new group of customers here. Yes, they’ll eventually make their way to the forum, too. They bring creativity, which is an advantage, but there will certainly be a lot of disappointment when people realise that it’s not just a matter of pressing a button. That will really come into play with the A2L.
I would have to say this is the goofiest image I have ever seen. “Wow, I just printed a curvy marble run catcher! This is an occasion for the entire family! Yes, even you sparky [the dog]!”
The A2L is not for me, but Im glad Bambu made it and it fits in its place to fill that gap. I’m sure it will suit many people perfectly.
I will keep waiting for my perfect printer to be made…
I have just ordered one.
I added far too many extras, too easy to do.
I have bought it to let me print even more multiple colour models at the same time and spreading the waste material across more models.
As I have taken to printing large batches of models to donate to schools, it makes sense.
The cutting seems interesting and likely easier than the H2 series allows due to the open frame. I fear it will be a short term interest which will peter out.
I am unsure what if any interest the printing function will provide.
An interesting sixth printer.
I am always falling over due to my partially paralysed legs (interestingly each paralysed in diff Places).
As to adhesion, I am always sticky.
It would be funny if people started using glue again - and I don’t mean as a release agent, but just like in the good old days. So we’ve come full circle. Just like in the early days of 3D printing.
Until another manufacturer comes along and says, “No more bed-slingers’” and sweeps up the market.
Note: This comment is not meant seriously.
That’s you, buddy . You are projecting.
There wasn’t any. I was listing some features that the A2L has, and saying I may buy it after it has proven by enough users that it can print for thousands of hours without trouble. Then retrosharky replied to my post quoting a youtuber, and I simply replied I would wait for some real users’s experience not from a youtuber. Obviously he took that very personally and wrote this long post about disrespecting expertise etc, LOL. Creative Playground, Extra Large. Meet the A2L! - #58 by RetroSharky
I am pretty sure they are coming. But don’t forget that there are also more X2 printers coming.
Yeah… I didn’t know this when I bought my first Bambu printer and I got my full setup for about $700. Now if I bought the same printer with all the doo-dads I’d only pay 500-480. I don’t regret it though.

Yup.
If we don’t jump on, we don’t get to use it.
The same goes for everything we could buy.
If we wait for the next one or the cheapest price, you will never be able to enjoy it.
If anyone was hoping for cheaper memory (up to 400% increase) or storage (over 200%), the AI companies screwed that for us.
