Hi Chad!
I’m sorry to hear you are having issues, but I see this is only your second post here looking for help.
I don’t know your 3D printing level of knowledge, but we get a lot of people starting in the 3D printing game that have expectations that it’s like buying an inkjet printer - plug and play. It’s not.
Bambu markets this printer as an ‘easy to use’ machine.
It is.
But that is only compared to the other printers in the market!
3D printing is a complex subject. We are trying to create objects using melted plastic from many companies, each is a unique blend requiring proper settings. We’re also trying to do this to hundredths or even thousandths of a mm accuracy!
Even the smallest change can result in failure, and sometimes that’s after hours of work.
If you’re not up to having that reality, I absolutely agree your should return your printer.
I get your frustration, trust me on this, I do. I’ve been in this crazy world since 2015 and can’t tell you the number of times I’ve wanted to take a hammer to my damn printer, so I get it.
However. If you want to make this work, there are many helpful people here eager to help you solve any problems you run into.
But be aware that it will take a few things on your end -
- Patience.
- A willingness to learn.
- Being polite to the people who offer to help.
- A willingness to learn.
- Patience.
Seriously. You can get help here. Most issues are settings or misunderstandings of the subject and we can help with those.
The fan is a known issue and there are solutions. BL will happily send you a fan or give you a store credit. Read this, there’s a long discussion with solutions:

Now, if you’re just p*ssed off and want to send back your machine, fine. Best of luck if you feel you’ll find an easier one to deal with. You won’t.
But if you want help - see the list above.
BTW - If you do wish help, in the future make a new post about each issue rather than leaving a comment on a similar one. You’ll get hundreds more people seeing it and faster responses. Many of the “regulars” here only look at new posts, not ones that are long discussions, often marked “solved”.
This discussion is about a firmware released months ago and since updated. Your post has nothing to do with this subject, eh?
