Hi, I need help picking a Bamboo labs package. I’m going to ditch my Qidi and join the Bamboo community. I need to center everything around your pro Nylon filament or ninjatek Armadillo filaments for low level production. OR should I wait for the next model Bamboo printer which I heard may be coming soon!
Hello! I am a firm believer in getting the tools that you need when you need them rather than waiting for the "latest and greatest". The world of 3D printing is always advancing and changing, but Bambu Lab did say that they will be announcing new printers in Q1 2025, not necessarily releasing right away.
So, with that said, I'd highly suggest, and this is what I'd suggest when getting ANY brand of new 3D printer, getting a bundle that includes at least one spare nozzle and one spare build plate, such as the EDU - The Works Bundle. These are the most likely parts to become damaged or worn out, especially when first learning a new 3D printer's quirks.
I hope that helps, but, if not, then please feel free to reach out to our sales team directly at sales@matterhackers.com and we'd be happy to discuss your projects further with you!
Best,
Aaron N., PhD
