Extension board

I’ve been waiting for more information about the Extension Board that Bambu Lab mentioned earlier. What makes this particularly interesting is its functionality for connecting a DSLR camera, which opens up incredible possibilities for creating high-quality time-lapse videos.

There’s also a positive aspect to this: since users are already looking at the X1 Plus for time-lapse functionality, Bambu Lab having their own version for using a DSLR or something similar would help keep customers within their ecosystem. This could also reduce potential headaches if any issues arise.

Has anyone heard anything about where this stands in their planning, or is it something Bambu Lab has decided to skip?

It would be amazing to use this!

The Bambu one was never released. There is a 3rd party one that will let you connect a camera though.

I’ve seen that, but it would void the warranty on my X1C, which I’m not too thrilled about.

As far as I know the Bambu expansion board never got out of the beta stage. The section of the forum to discuss it has had no activity since 2023, after many months with little or no activity.

Strange thing is that those wiki pages were updated in May and September, 2024.

This might be their response to the X1 Plus, targeting users who prefer to stay within their ecosystem.
