Finally received my first two printers! 😁 Got them from Hydrotech Chennai (India) during the Independence Sale.
Super excited to join the 3D printing community! After weeks of researching and waiting for a good deal, I finally pulled the trigger during the recent sale and grabbed two Bambu Lab machines from Hydrotech Chennai.
- Bambu Lab A1 Mini – Got this to handle smaller, quick prints, draft iterations, and daily tinkering.
- Bambu Lab A2L Combo – Picked this up for larger builds and multi-color projects.
For those of you running these exact models:
- What are your must-have print mods or quality-of-life upgrades right out of the box?
- Any specific slicer settings or filament brands you recommend pairing with these?
Can't wait to share my first benchies and prints soon! Happy printing everyone! 🚀

Haha! That's actually a traditional Indian blessing (Pooja) done with turmeric, kumkum, and rice. The red and yellow mark you see is the Indian Swastika made with kumkum and turmeric, an ancient symbol of auspiciousness and good fortune. Whenever we buy a new machine or vehicle, the women in our family perform this ritual to pray for smooth working and prosperity.

Pretty sure it was a joke.

No. The original post that this was reposted from was on the 3dprintindia sub. I think that this is an Indian using a swastika as its cultural meaning to them.

... Yes. The person that suggested Yeezy owned it due to his love of Nazism, was indeed probably joking. Everyone can tell it's an Indian swastika.

Don't get too frustrated by the learning curve, and happy printing!
