Well I doubt they will sell nearly as many of these as the P1S/X1C. It doesn’t make sense for them to make an insane amount of these when they cost 3,000 and the average hobbyist won’t buy one.

At least we got that far. If bambu labs wanted to delay that new printer further they at least would have told us that now. So the release realy should be end of march i think? Yea, sure they could say we delay the printer further back to 2025 instead of a printer release, but that would be like spitting in our faces, because they would already know if they need more time.

I have some legit speculation this time. I bet elegoo has another printer in the works. Theres 2 extra ports on the board, they included this stupid led light that only shines on this one spot of the bed. That one spot also has this pattern on the plate.
It has a side fan toggle in its slicer, but no side fan in the printer.
Last reason is they left a ton of space on the left and right sides of the chamber. Space that they didnt need to create.
Edit: I also just noticed how crooked I installed the plate. Ha

A bit much stringing in that benchi, dont you think? Filament not dry enough? The layer lines look nice. What layer high did you print that? Did you once try a benchi with a layer high like 0.08 or something? How does that even look like close up?
Yea i know maybe stupid questions for sure, but it was your foult helping me out bevore with a lightning speed answer.
Edit: i am talking about materials like pla or pteg, something normal, not that PA stuff thats comparable to like printing gold.
Its just some fine fuzz. The pic is really close. I just didnt blow it off because I wanted to show the full result. It would definitely look even better with a .08 layer height. The standard is .2, so to keep everything equal and easy to compare, that what I usually stick to

yeah it looks really crisp i like it 
and we have to remember that cost 299 USD - although as i think you already mentioned, i don’t see it staying that way for long unless they are really being aggressive and going for a market grab at a loss

I’m assuming even the $199 carbonless version would produce the same quality.

Their pattern with the Neptunes was:
- Release the base model (bowden with no bells and whistles).
- Shortly after Release the “Pro” model (Only $30 more, direct drive with a few upgrades).
- Several months later release the “Plus” and “Max” models (larger versions).
Super curious if they are going to do bigger versions of the CC. Also will there be a Neptune 5? If so can they release if for $100 since the CC is so affordable lol.

A price race to the bottom, huh?!?.. That would be very nice and interesting, especially if the big players would follow the lead as well …

What if the new bambu does this?
Edit: On a side note, the Centauri work with orca without issues, but the klipper experience isnt completely open. Its closer to creality. Lets you look at and edit the config file though, which is really all I needed. The fluid interface is really bare. Camera, temps, print files is all it shows. This one is cheap enough that I may jailbreak it. On firmware 1.1 still.

That would be amazing, but it would give me a headache trying to watch it for long.

Just figured something out about the plus 4. With the bed at 120c, chamber at 65c, the chamber heater shuts off at 65c, but the bed continues to heat the chamber. Sitting at 68c printing PEI right now. Just resurfacing a black textured bambu plate for fun. Kinda crazy that its working. But not sure if it will bond. The black plates may not be actual pei. Not sure.
Smells good and amazingly, the fumes arent toxic from PEI.

I don’t look on my statement but if I remember correctly it was: “it got better”. But I don’t want to go into too much detail about it, just compare I-Fast wiring with it. Maybe it was the same, but that’s from my memory, which can sometimes deceive me…
I always remember very clearly three statements from different people that stuck with me:
- Better is always possible, but worse too.
- Decide which death you want to die.
- There is always someone who is better (and as a little bonus note from me: don’t die his death).

I think, with that printer you could record all your printings and make a video with a view hours playtime. Than upload it on youtube. It would be a hit for everyone who just wants to relax after a hard working day. I am sure everyone know that feeling after coming home from work and swith on the TV, just to watch nonsense you cant even recall what you were watching. This printing videos would be much more relaxing than watching nonsense on TV.
Soon enough, youll be standing in front of your own printer until your neck and back hurt lol.
Please do this, bambu
Skip forward to the printer

I think there’s a good chance the next Bambu will be a lot like the I-Fast, given the dual nozzle construction. The I-Fast slams the print head into the side of the cage to toggle from one nozzle to the other. A bit kludgy, but apparently it works. I presume the Bambu will be a bit more elegant.
The thing is… I don’t believe the I-Fast has been selling all that well. Not a lot of youtubes about it, even though it’s been on the market for years. clouse42 did a review, and his praise was rather faint, maybe in part because of the third-world software development that although adequately reactive, just didn’t seem to “get it” well enough to be proactive.
As for the Thinker X400, I’ve subsequently ruled it out because the hot-end only goes to 300C, and no chamber heater. Arghhhh! Close, but no cigar. I really liked the size, stoutness, and that it ran generic Klipper. And it apparently prints pretty reliably, but, as so often happens, they just had to cut corners to save a few pennies, and that threw the kibosh on it. You’d think it would be obvious that such a large build volume would benefit from a chamber heater.

That would be awesome for printing plumbing connections and custom wiring conduit.

If done right, I wonder if you could get rid of all support. Turning all 90° ledges into 45° overhangs by tilting the part 45°. perfect surfaces without soluable supports
