Bambu Lab have been having a strange year. They are both the internet's favourite 3D printer maker, or in danger of being cancelled, depending on many factors.

At the same time they keep entering markets and making a splash. My friend James is really impressed with the R1 laser which is mostly their version of the xTool P2S.

I don't have one of those, heck my Bambu printers are on the older side, but I have been enjoying the MakerWorld community, uploading models and getting reward points. With those points I bought their microcontroller kit to see what all the fuss was about, and this week I share my experience with you.

How do you feel about Bambu? Hit reply and let me know, good, bad, indifferent?

PS.

The 30 Days to Arduino course is rebuilt now that I have moved my emails over to Kit.com ... should I do a 30 Days to MicroPython?
