I'm not impressed. Clearly the shills on youtube were paid so much they were willing to lie out of every orifice.
The prestored models don't print at all, that was when I finally got the damn thing. I had to pay twice and I am still waiting for a refund on the first one. The first one I addressed to work, they missed out the company name on the address and blamed the carrier, uttur assholes, they could not be bothered to set an auto responder when the went on holiday. Presumably they just have monkeys in the UK doing the shipping and the comms are done in china.
no it does not take 20 minutes to set up like people claim, it needs a really solid surface or prints will be rubbish, I managed to get their benchy to print after I modified their settings and even at slow speed it was awful. it's like these people don't get 3D printing, the build plate was set to 35C, I don't know what is special about their PLA but i never got anything to work in the past at under 50.
So, sure, I got it to work when "I" sliced a model, very nice too, so apparently it's just a case of actually understanding 3D printing. I struggled to get the printer to link up to my account, maybe their chinese servers went on holiday too. Frankly I feel lied too, this was not the dream setup it was meant to be. Maybe they listened to all those hardcore people that complained that it was being made too easy for the masses.
i suppose I would recommend it as a printer but I feel rather ripped off considering I was promised a fault free workflow and it feel like those fucking enders all over again for 6 times the price.
The software is bloody awful, makes no sense at all, I know I have only experience of cura but this thing is just shit! Basically bambu labs seem to have one ability and one ability only, to do the hi speed compensation crap, at everything else they are a failure. Unlike my ender every print ends up with a trail of filament from the nozzle. So the software that the youtube shills called a bit quirky and I'm sure they will sort it out - a year ago - is actually bad in my opinion and not snomething that you can just say, yea it's early days andh will get better, Bambu labs sure must pay well.
This is all on the X1 carbon combo, yes I see the X1 is not sold now and everyone is ravetting on about the price of that and now when you come to buy it's a case of bait and switch. So I have had all this trouble while using all of their stuff, not even tried putting my own filament in.
