Is the A1 heatbed supposed to look err..wonky from the side?

I have a new A1 and I don’t notice it from above and it prints fine, but i’ve noticed when starting prints through the camera view my heatbed looks almost like it has large crackes and uneven spots running through it..Is this normal? it just looks very off.

Use your eye not the camera.

the camera distorts the image. It’s not a good camera.

The onboard camera does blow it out more, but they are visible to the naked eye and still there with a “better” camera. While small I’ve owned quite a few 3d printers in the past and never had what looks like delamination in a new heatbed like this

■■■■, return it and make posts about how horrible BL is.
Good luck.

You’re an odd fellow getting so butt hurt about someone asking if delamination is normal on new bambu products and/or affected performance; never once did I say anything negative. Grow up, manchild.

Just want to mention that that’s not an official Bambu plate… It’s blue bro.

my question/concern wasn’t about the plate, it’s the heat bed under the plate..the two are completely unrelated. The third party plate is, ironically flawless(bought it because the textured PEI that came with the printer had some patches w/ the texture stripped off that I didn’t like showing on the bottom of my prints) (it’s a biqu)

From what I can tell from the pic (I don’t own an A1), it appears to be the aluminum bed plate which appears to have been cut using a shear that double tapped the cut. IE it tried to cut the plate in two presses. Either way it’s just a cosmetic finish, it will perform just fine. It also looks like they wire wheeled the edge to smooth it out.

Bottom line, it’s nothing I’d be worried about at all. Perhaps others with an A1 can chime in and confirm their’s look the same as your pic.

H e l l is the word censored.
Yeah, little harsh. Wasn’t butthurt, just tired of the smallest little thing being posted and if you offer anything it’s immediately swept aside and on and on.

I have that plate on my mini and one P1S. I looked when you posted and really don’t think it’s a “thing”. Delamination, no it’s not a thing. Someone here will correct me, but I have 4 printers across the ranges and have never noticed anything with that plate. Nor have I seen it with any other plate, magnet, or combination of them. One plate has about 600 hours on it, the other has closer to 1000. I couldn’t say how many the H2 is.

Edit: I was also checking out the bed from every angle and couldn’t see anything to be concerned about. I did figure that was what you were talking about, but hey, I made a mistake.

I’m going to take this since I came off harsh.

Enjoy that. It’s about the only thing Biqu has produce in the Panda line that doesn’ turn to total crap after a month.

Again, you were right to call me out. I apologize for being so harsh.
