I have been a hobbyist for about three years starting with a few Ender 3 machines I learned to modify and run. My wife and I print ALOT of beads, charms, straw toppers, etc. My 14 enders have been running nonstop for the past year keeping up with her clients. We have wanted a Bambu for a long time and finally took the plunge. We have one and it has been running since it came out of the box. Hopeful that I will learn quickly and make it an effective part of our fleet with more to come.
