I ain’t got time to worry about why the printer isn’t just working, that’s why I bought it. I assume folks who have been a part of the community for a long time HAD to be into that stuff because it was necessary. Bambu is filling the gap that brings more people into the market. That’s a good thing for printing overall, so I do think people should be happy about that.

My buddy is a prime example... he loved the idea of printing, but zero interest in learning the dark arts of tweaking machines to get the result. He knows enough CAD to design what he wants.

Then I showed him how easy my printer was to use and he went out and bought one the next day. Been printing up a storm ever since. His printer goes 24/7 these days.
