House fire…. thanks to cheap printer from China…

So, this isn’t a joke and yes I really did have a house fire. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone at the house and no one got hurt. A 3D printer caused it but no, I wasn’t from a reputable source like Ultimaker or some other company. It was a Prusa i3 clone, and Anet A8 from China, bought on gearbest for $200. I’ve had it since September and it’s worked fine but I guess the board just decided “Fuck it, imma start a fire >:)” and started a fire.RemainsNote: Yes, I know I shouldn’t have left something from China running while i wasn’t home, but how should I have known this would have happened. Also, the fire department did confirm it was the printer. http://ift.tt/2q8E0UD
