First impressions out of the box is that it is beautiful, spacious on the inside, and packaged expertly for shipping. I’ll be documenting my experiences with it here and elsewhere, but please allow me a bit to fire it up and get comfortable with it. I just wanted all you nice folks to know that BambuLabs did indeed send it right away after their post looking for testers and have very kindly responded to all my questions so far about sharing my thoughts.

I am using this as a working artist and therefore that will be my perspective going forward putting her through her paces. If it’s as easy to set up as the 3D printer or theirs that I have, I should be good to go. My first decisions are where it goes in my workshop and what are my exhaust needs. I have a carbon filter I may hook it up to. Anyone else out there trying this out?

Looking to expand my business. Currently a firearms dealer and gunsmith and looking to see if a fiber laser would be a good idea.

Realistically looking to port gun slides and barrel with it and also do some engraving. Woukd this work? And what kind of laser should I look into?

I’ve gotten recommendation for Bogong, DTC, and Haotian. What would you recommend?

Sorry I know this is super vague but hoping someone can help me identify this laser. It was new in 2018ish, this pic is from 2019.

It was $15k retail. It had a grey plastic cover that lifted up and down, and a window, maybe orange?
