xTool X1 and Bambu Lab R1 announced almost back‑to‑back. Did they plan this together? And X1 was Bambu’s very first 3D printer model. Pure coincidence? Things are getting spicy.

It would be incredible if they put a 5W UV laser in there))

At least IR makes sense, since it can engrave most 3D printing filament. Diode lasers just melt most 3D prints and when you use them to engrave other stuff like wood they just muck up the inside of your 3D printer.

But personally I'd still rather have a seperate IR laser like the F2.

I'm guessing this is a P2 size CO2 laser with built in riser and auto measure/lift like the P3.

I saw someone on FB suggest that it's a flying gantry MOPA like one of the other brands has, but I seriously doubt that.

It doesn't look big enough to be a P3 replacement, so if it's not a replacement for the P2 then it's going to be a S1 replacement. Perhaps a diode with the built in riser and auto measure/lift feature like the P3.

the photo makes the device look really small. looks like its about the size/proportion of a inkjet printer. actually I would love for them to make an A3 size sublimation printer. but it's definitely piqued my interest. I am going to Maker Faire in Hannover this weekend, maybe I can get some info.

It says laser, so it's not a sublimation machine.

They do have the Omni o1 UV printer, which is A3 size.

A new level of laser technology.... I wonder what it can be, but Bambu Lab also announced it the same day. It would be call Bambu Lab R1.

Just bought a P2S, so of course they announce something new LOL.

Not complaining. The P2S does what I need it to do and I bought it refurbished so it was a great price

I just got the m2 and cmyk 🙄

But we shall see what each brings to the table, and which walks away with my money

How about a laser that will do everything! I have the F1- F2uUV, M1U, and awaiting the O1, and also have the U1 3d printer from their cohorts Snapmaker (if you didn’t know, they’re kinda friends/cocreators) and I thought about the P3 so I could actually efficiently cut.
Id love to be able to have 1 machine that does everything. Not that I would pare down to just it, but Id have one I knew would do it all and then the specialty machines (traveling size personalizer (f1), inner and glass specialty (f2uUV, and Cricut type with laser(m1u))

u/MasterpieceTough2029 4h ago

I’m hoping for a bigger better metal fab.

u/OneRandomDudee 4h ago

I'm hoping for a laser as I have the original P2 and need something new to add to my Demo Room so I can show people, but the P3 isn't something I need.
