EDIT NOTICE: I accidentally wrote “A1 Mini” in the meme instead of just “A1” out of habit. There’s no proof for the Mini to also be affected yet. My bad, sorry. It’s the A1 that might burn your house down.

      IIRC it was just a bunch of people that didn’t understand how a resistive heater works and that you shouldn’t reach far inside a 3d printer while it’s running.

      AFAIK they did have some issues on the first of their 3rd gen printers, and only for 110VAC models, 230VAC models were unaffected. And they recognized the issue when it was discovered, fixed it, and shipped replacement parts for affected customers.

      The current printers you can buy from them are their 4th gen, haven’t heard anything like that for these. They’re technically open source, but they make their own weird forked klipper version instead of just using vanilla klipper.

        It’s getting as bad as picking a Linux kernel. No matter what you pick, there’s always something wrong with it.
