Bambu Lab A2L doubles build volume, but lowers build plate to 80°C

Bambu Lab unveils the A2L, which has approximately double the build volume of the A1 3D printer. It is the brand's largest open-frame printer and has the largest build volume of all Bambu Lab printers after the H2S. The device is now available from 379 euros.

The Bambu Lab A2L has a build volume of 330x320x325mm, while the A1 has 256x256x256mm. In theory, users can therefore print up to 105 percent larger projects.

The Chinese 3D printer maker states that the new device is also equipped with Adaptive Vibration Compensation. With this technique, the printer would suffer 'significantly less' from ghosting and ringing. These printing errors often occur in 3D printed projects.

The building plate temperature of the A2L is somewhat lower than that of its A1 predecessor, namely 80 instead of 100°C. According to Bambu Lab, this has to do with the significantly larger construction volume. According to the brand, it would cost too much power to keep the A2L at the same temperature. The printer has a maximum power of 1000W, while the smaller predecessor requires up to 1300W. This concerns capacities at peak times.
