Who TF is printing ABS with a bedslinger? I was talking about PLA & PETG. I never tried ABS, went straight to ASA on my enclosed printers since it’s less fumes and prints better.
It literally isn't.
A component overheats, fails, and stops being hot.
It does not create nearly enough energy to crwate an external fire.
Never has.
It's a reliability issue, but it's not a fire hazard.
If you think it is, you spend too much time on this sub.
There's a million A1s and a few hundred failures. It's rare, and only on a faulty batch.
It's solved moving forward, and they replace failed (and healthy!) boards for free.
Again, precisely zero actual fires. Go touch grass.
Zero fires.
Zero people injured.
Zero ability for it to generate enough energy to create an external fire.
I'm sorry you bought into the narrative that this rare, tiny fraction of a percent chance of a failure is in anyway an actual safety issue.
If it is, then prove it. It's your claim, the burden is yours, defend it.
The component that fails heats up, melts a spot of plastic, and dies, stops being hot. There has not been a single fire, as it fails exactly as designed to not be capable of starting a fire.
It's 99.98% reliable.
Million printers, few hundred failures.
I'm sorry you bought in to the reddit echo panic chamber on this issue.
It's been fixed moving forward, and they replace the ones for free from the bad batch as they appear. That's literally all there is to it. It's not the controversy that too-much-time-on-reddit would entice you to believe. Go touch grass and move on with your life. Jfc.
Probably people wanting to get into the hobby inexpensively. There's always going to be a market for a cheap entry point for newcomers and people who can't or don't want to spend as much.

A lot of warping comes down to part design, build plate cleanliness, and build plate material.
