Most people don’t want to use a 3rd party slicer or switch out the screen.
The Bambu studio slicer and screens that come with the printers both work well.
I really doubt they try to restrict filament brands. No one does that.
Their brand nozzles are the same price as 3rd party ones.
And personally I’ve used both and the Bambu brand ones are better. They are also designed to break instead of destroying the entire print head if there is some big obstruction.
Most people don’t want to tinker with their printers constantly to get them to work.
Or install 3rd party firmware.
They just want the printers to work. Bambu just works.
So many hours have I wasted trying to fix hardware problems on my ender 3 v3. Or tweak settings in the slicer that never fixed the issues.
So much time spent on reddit and YouTube, troubleshooting.
The Bambu just works. It always just works.
If I want to tinker with something, I’ll unpack my ender I’ve put away. But I don’t see that happening.
Sounds like you are someone who wants to tinker with the printer. In your case , no, a Bambu probably isn’t the right choice.
But for 90% of people looking to get into 3d printing, bambu is the right choice.
Most people lack mechanical skills or knowledge and get frustrated with sub par printers and don’t stay with the hobby.
Bambu allows more people to get into the hobby. Which means more unique filaments because there is a market for it. More creators. Because there is a market for it.It’s a win win for everyone.

Oh they choose a brown man for the position for a reason. He can’t be so stupid not to see that.
He’s going to be blamed for so much. He’s going to also be responsible for quite a lot of it as he tries to keep the trump admin happy.
Dear Patel, Bro, they don’t respect you. You are there to be sacrificed.

Full proof way to not be near the detonation.
- Comment on Every time I make biscuits from a can 2 days ago:
I’m going to share with you the only way to open canned biscuits that’s full proof.
Pull off some of the outer paper. Just a bit.
Next place the canned biscuits in a bowl or tray of some kind.
Next. Poor a little water on the canned biscuits.
The water will eventually deep in enough and the cardboard will break up and POP!
But it won’t happen immediately.
So you can leave the room and wait for the pop at a safe distance.
You are all welcome.

You don’t need ams to print. All the pieces print separately.

It’s designed so that anyone can print it.

Really like my Bambu A1. I started with an ender. Unlike the Ender, Bambu just works. Some people don’t like that you can’t use other slicers with it, but the Bambu studio slicer is pretty great imo. Their makerworld.com website is a great place to get models. They have high incentives for creators so there is always new high quality stuff being posted.
Also their replacement parts are inexpensive from them directly. And they literally sell every single part. So you can replace any thing you need to. But you likely wont need to replace anything for a while.
They also have sensors on the printers for tons of features. Oh and their printers are designed to be ran through wifi. So no more packing cards back and forth between printer and computer.
Watch some YouTube reviews videos. You will be impressed.
Also when you print at 0.2 layer hight on a Bambu. The print quality looks better than 0.16 on other printers.
No lie.
I recommend Bambu to anyone.

- Comment on 3D printing sites should require a printed model when uploading a design. 1 week ago:
Well yes and no. I think mostly it’s up to you to determine if the model is good or not. .here is an example.
I wanted to make a model and I needed a female face. (A mask). I found one in creative commons. When I attempted to use the face/head model I realized it wasn’t symmetrical. Or level. And had weird internal geometry.
I fixed those issues before I could use it for my mask model.
I figured since I did all that work and it was a nice female head, I would upload it on thingiverse so that others wouldn’t have to do through all the same trouble.
But I don’t want to just print a female head. I didn’t need one. So I didn’t. There is no photo on that upload.
It’s not really necessary.
I did, however, print the mask I made and posted photos of it with the model.
I hope my example illustrates why enforcing the photo rule isn’t going to work in all scenarios.
Just fyi. On makerworld.com, in order to upload a profile file (a pre made print file), you are required to use a photo of the model.
I think it works as a rule for that.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 1 week ago:
Women are avoiding men. For all sorts of reasons that I think most of you are aware of.
Women also are feeling like they have the ability to refuse when before they didn’t.
Women are also scared of pregnancy in a way they haven’t been since the fecking 1900s.
Because now, you get pregnant. A doctor will let you die before they will provide medical care if that medical care has any chance of harming a fetus. Even if the fetus is dead.
Women are dying from pregnancy. Women are no longer able to terminate an early pregnancy safely.
Women are scared.
I realize not every sex encounter is a man and woman. But most of the population is hetero.

That’s some b.s rfk was saying. That’s not the cause. Dysfunction is not the same as low sex drive. It can mean any number of things.
- Comment on Makes sense to me 1 month ago:
Misogyny, not unlike racism or other forms of bigotry are all forms of insecurity.
I think a lot of people have noticed this but it’s surprising how many people haven’t.
It seems pretty obvious. It’s a big red flag. Bigots try to hurt others to feel superior. And they always go after the person in the vicinity that they think will give them the least challenge.
This is why it’s up to the rest of us to call them out. Make it so they fear the retribution from harassing others.

Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.
Did it all the time.
- Comment on Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡 3 months ago:
Every time I go to the dollar tree and it’s in stock I buy like 5 of them.
Still less expensive than 1 tube of sensodyne.
It’s not as minty. But does the job.
Stock up when you find it.
And yeah. I too will get sores even from using the regular kind for a few days. I think I’ve gotten more sensitive to it since I started avoiding it.
My grand pappy swears that just brushing with baking soda (and water) is best. I tried that though and gagged on the taste and texture.

- Comment on Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡 3 months ago:
Yeah I avoid it for this reason. Also for anyone looking for toothpaste without it.
Sensodyne doesn’t have it but it’s expensive.
Some of the Toms doesn’t but most does.
I found out the cheap dollar tree sensitive toothpaste doesn’t have it either. So that’s what I use.
It’s actually pretty hard to find toothpaste without it. Hope that helps.

Fusion seems legit to me and it’s free for non commercial use. It seems more intuitive than other cad software though they all have a learning curve
- Comment on Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what? 4 months ago:
I found fusion360 and blender to be best for me. Fusion made by same company as tinkercad.
I tried freeCAD and had constant errors (like 20 at a time) and couldn’t figure out what was going on even tried googling. And that’s when I learned that’s just how it goes with that program.
I like blender to make sculpted models. Tutorials and figuring things out myself was frustrating but now I have a decent grasp on the basics and I find it much easier to use and keep learning new things all the time with it.
I’ve only used fusion for a few projects that required it and had to rely a lot on tutorial videos but I was able to do the modeling. I plan to learn more of it in the future but it’s pretty decent so far.
I’ve not used any of the others you have listed.

Bambulab slicer is based on prusa but has more features like the plate one I mentioned. I also think it’s more user friendly.
I do agree. Printer should be choose based on other factors but the slicer is just the cherry.
Bambu printers are excellent.
They are especially great for newbies. They just work. No tinkering. No replacing parts every few months.
They also print faster and at a higher quality.
