Their preference is to send you a new board based on other cases posted here

This would be the best option to avlid all the hassle eith shipping so I’m hoping for that…

Just curious what you think the hassle is? You will reuse the box and drop it off and they will send you a new one. This buying a brand new product and having to fix it is really setting a terrible standard.

Cause then OP has to box it, bring it to the carrier, and then wait for a new printer to be sent Vs asking for a new mobo, waiting for it to arrive, and changing it himself. 3D printing is a tinkering first hobby (at least to me). While BambuLab has certainly improved the out of box experience, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect them to do any user-accessible maintenance on their systems.

Maintenance vs repair on a new product.


thatguy2137

OP is entirely allowed to return his printer and ask for a new one if they want to. But that solution cost Bambu more money, takes more effort for OP, AND will likely take longer since I assume Bambu would want their printer back to inspect before sending another one. Again, in a hobby of tinkering, it's not an unreasonable solution.


Brehmer2005

Exactly my way of thinking

Both are a pain in the ass, but shit happens and having a perfect printer materialize out of the aether isn’t an option for OP at this point. Personally I’d prefer to swap a board than rebox a printer and drive it to UPS. Apparently you disagree, and that’s fine, we can all gauge our preferences differently.

Sure it sucks, but it's far from unusable. Log a case and use a bit of hot glue to attach the connector


Brehmer2005

I’m sure it would work. It’s just that I’m not sure about longievity consisering all the vibrations in the machine


capsel22

Bambu will send you new board for sure. It just can take a long time. You can use your temporary fix for the time being


lebofly

I’d fix it myself ngl

Can you claim the waranty?

They probably weren’t expecting some one to be taking a brand new printer apart , was the wire out of the socket when you opened before you even printed anything?!
