3D printers aren't the fire hazards of yore. They're quite reliable, fused, with multiple interlocks for various conditions (mainly around heating not matching expected rate) that will kill power.

The main potential problem these days (in my view) is whether a print finishes without crashing or delaminating from the print plate, which also has workarounds... but that's only potential printer damage, not a fire.

Straight propaganda. Printers have burned down apartments in the last five years.

Anycubic is a poor quality brand that doesn't really go through the engineering effort to design good quality stuff. These types of printers definitely still exist, no doubt.

But, it's not really straight propaganda that the well designed machines (Bambu, Prusa, and many other vendors) don't have these issues.

You can find equally alarming statements about all sorts of other poor quality goods.
