Alright… can someone explain to a non-Bambu guy….

Why they designed a cover that was so prone to falling off… as to warrant a sensor or whatever to detect it, instead of designing a cover that just doesn’t do that?

I was monitoring this print remotely (Bambu P1S), so I'm not sure what actually happened. It's possible that it failed for other reasons, and then the tool head got tangled in spaghetti and disassembled itself.

Hmm. that's plausible.

But it's still enough a problem that they programed an alert for it.

which means it's enough of a problem had a way to detect it.

feels like a case of not fixing the problem.

I think it's a good added measure to stop a print, in this case something caused the spaghetti, it would have kept causing spaghetti but the cover popping off stopped the print. I've got about 400 hrs on my p1s (upgraded from p1p), and I've never had the faceplate pop off. I would guess this is an isolated incident.
