I backed the Bambu Cyberbrick on Kickstarter. I have already started printing the parts for a forklift and cannot wait for the kit to come. I think this is one of the best things Bambu has ever made! Anybody else back it? I am sooo excited. I bought the earlybird one set deal for only 30$!
this is a video of what I have printed so far.
Only more than 10,000 other people!

I’m pretty excited myself. I had put in multiple suggestions for Maker Supply to start including micro controllers and related hardware, so I’m happy to see they’re listening to their users. The Cyberbrick setup is way beyond what I was expecting, so I’m excited to get my hands on my early bird kit whenever they start shipping. I just hope this takes off well enough that they start expanding on their offerings.

I agree with him, that this is one of best things Bambu has made, I to have started printing a project (the train since I am a model railroad buff and can’t resist anything dealing with model trains) and hoping to get the electronic kits soon, so I can finish the build, but I wonder where this person has been if wondering if anyone else backed this project or maybe, her/she just wants to talk to other backers. It would be nice to hear what others are planning to design//building or thinking about building. I would like to hear what others are doing. So let’s hear from all of you 10,000+ backers. My only hope is that we keep the response and comments in a helpful and positive tone, because I feel that there is enough negativity in this world today and it doesn’t belong here. Thanks. Jim

I was able to get the early bird version via kickstarter. That being said, I am not going to start printing untill I get some confirmation for shipping.
I really like this Cyberbrick hardware 
I’m excited to get the hardware from the kickstarter, and when that stuff starts coming up for purchase on the Maker’s Supply.
Well, if you know me, you know I was involved in creating one of the release projects. Despite having some access to the hardware, there’s just a ton of stuff I want to do and play with that goes beyond even what I have on hand. Like I said, I’m excited

Yes, the work of the devil, a vehicle that can steal your meals!!!
I am far more muted with it at the moment.
The delays, lack of communication, and obfuscation have poured a lot of cold water on the thing for me.
I have paused my projects.
My review units can’t connect to the desktop and mobile apps, and the hardware doesn’t use Bluetooth, the new way, only WiFi, the old way.
Despite my asking them for the firmware update directly and on this forum, they said, “I should have asked for it.” Yet I still have not received it.
No responses, no email replies, nothing.
They said they were unaware I had a model ready, yet I have already uploaded one. They stated that the upload stage, which lets you include the required config, doesn’t exist, despite a handful of people providing screenshots.
I can’t create the required config file as my CyberBrick review units can’t talk to the new apps, and the old system isn’t compatible.
Yeah, @CyberBrick, I wonder why I am annoyed.
Hey there
I am a teacher from Switzerland and I can’t wait for CyberBricks to arrive. I want to push the idea further and bring 3d-printing and CyberBricks to swiss-schools. Does anybody know if there will be a commercial license for CyberBrick as I am interested in selling hardware as well as the 3d-printed parts.
Greetings from Switzerland
I am not sure yet about commercial license but you can check on the models in makerworld.
Its amazing how you were involved in creating a project. How did you do, I have been trying to design some things on tinkercad, I can make some mid fidgets and things, but I have been wanting to learn fusion 360. I am only 12 so I am trying to learn as much possible before high school. I am president of a 3d designing club and trying to learn more things to teach. Do you have any advice?
I thought it might be too complicated for me to work out and program so didn’t back the kickstarter and hope to see how everyone is doing after a few months then get one.
Yeah I agree, I thought I would have trouble assembling and working it, but farther printing the parts and seeing schematics, It looks pretty easy, at least for the forklift.

I saw one kit was for only 30$, so I had to buy it for such a cheap price!
Good thinking, I was going to do that but I was just too hyped up and had to start printing!

Mainly, just create stuff, explore. It’s a two part thing, where you need experience and skill. Skill you can learn, but experience just takes time doing things, and failing at them.
Don’t be afraid to throw a project out if it isn’t coming together, and starting over. A design/project shouldn’t ever feel forced. When you spend too much time trying to fiddle with a single project trying to perfect/fix everything, you’re not really advancing. You’re stalling out. When you start fresh, you’re able to build up a better base, based on the experience you just had.
For me, I don’t spend a lot of time on older projects for reasons related to this. I try and carry the experience of a given project forward, using everything I learned along the way to try and improve each new design rather than going back and trying to fix every mistake I’ve made in the past.
My understanding and approach has evolved, changed, over the years. When I look back at some of my past projects, I think it’d take starting over to truly fix/improve it, as the foundation of the design often has issues that were bore from my inexperience at the time.
Also, I’d suggest trying to recreate things you see. Like other projects on Makerworld. Not for release, but for your own exploration and learning. You can learn a lot that way, by seeing how other designers approached their model. Things like how it was printed, how it was built to be assembled, and how they implemented design elements to make the model more visually pleasing. It can get you thinking about a lot of stuff you may not have thought about right off.
It’s pretty simple, I believe. Most of it is plug and play. On the “programming” side, it’s putting building blocks together, more or less. The complex part is that it has the ability to be complex, but that doesn’t mean you have to use or understand that side of it to be able to get a lot out of it.
My walking table project is achingly easy. It’s tank controls. Right stick moves the right legs, left stick moves the left legs. It’s a graphic rich experience, setting it up. So, like you click the plus button, select the joystick. You can then configure the joystick to move a given motor. Most of it is graphics like this, and drop down menus that make it easy to select things.
For someone printing existing projects, it’s even easier. Just plug the components in as directed by a given model’s instructions, load up the configuration file for that model, and boom! You’re good to go (provided you charged your batteries).

Thank you for the in depth advice! It is going to help me so much, also the table you designed is amazing! How long have you been designing to make such a unique model?!
Ah, I mean to be fair, it’s built around an existing mechanism (strandbeest) for the leg movements. So it’s just my take on the whole idea. I’ve been doing graphic design stuff for 20ish years professionally, and doing 3d printing for almost 10 years now.
Worth a note, that even with as long as I’ve been messing with 3d design, there’s still more to learn. When I was working on that Walking Table, I worked with a few people from @MakerWorld that helped me refine the design, and introduced me to a few ideas/concepts I hadn’t considered. Makes me realize how much I still need to learn about product design, and the sort of techniques I can use to optimize my designs even further.

How are these type of stem projects working out for other manufactures?
Elegoo for example ?
20 years is a lot!!! I mean i haven’t even lived for 20 years.
