Important news about the Bambu A1 printer....

It appears there is a problem with the bed heating cable on some A1 printers, so now there is a general advisory to stop using them (by Bambu labs).... They consider it a safety issue. Have a look at their blog, but refunds are possible and in March they think they will have replacement cable/heater kits available for those not seeking a refund.

Tom's hardware has more info and some pictures.
They advise you stop using the printer until you check the cable for issues shows some examples, if your cable has issues they will send you an new one and even compensate you for repairing it yourself they also have a file for a cable protector for those with no damage
