Bambu Lab 3D printer

Enclosed desktop printer that runs without much tuning

Consumer 3D printers of this generation arrive calibrated and print from a phone or a slicer without much fiddling. That is what separates them from the kit machines that came before. Owners turn out organizers, brackets, replacement parts and toys. Multi-color printing needs an extra filament unit and throws away material at every color change, so most people stick to single-color prints day to day.

    Spent a week on design files and twenty hours of print time turning out a small Finder mascot on his Bambu P2S, working with Basic Apple Guy. He posted the file free and said plainly that he cannot help anyone tune their own print.
