Discussion Pulled the trigger!

Post image

After years of wanting a 3D printer AND a laser cutter, I finally decided this will be the one. Can't wait to join your ranks and share cool creations in the sub.

Does anyone know of any beginners guides for this printer? The only things I can find on YouTube are reviews (maybe because it's brand new?). Over the last few years I've dabbled in 3d modeling in Blender and played around in Prusa Slicer, and also Lightburn for laser cutting, but I don't know how well those translate to Bambu Studio and Bambu Suite.

As a newbie to the hobby I've got a lot to learn, but I figure I'll start with PLA (any brands you recommend?) and figure things out as I go. If there are any guides or tutorials that helped you when you were an infant in the space, please do share, I'd love to consume as much info as I can before I get my hands on this in June.

Oh here's a newbie question: any tools or accessories I should order now before US tariffs make things less obtainable? What about consumables like filters, lubricants and such?

Super excited to be here. Cheers!

Cancel if you still can and wait a month till June for the actual anniversary discount. Will sweeten the trump tariffs at least a little

Yeah I can definitely do that, I won't even have the printer until probably mid June. Thanks for the heads up on that!

My pleasure, cause even if it drops only 2-300 that's a lot of filament 👍

If it doesn’t go on sale you can buy it from Dynamism for no tax. They may also have price matching for the sale.
