Bambu Studio would need a full article, and we’re not going to do it here.

But you should know that, in terms of ease of use, it’s close to an Apple product. In fact, if this is your first printer, the menu is straightforward, and the software will tell you whether printing will go well or whether it recommends any changes. If you have Bambu Lab filament on your AMS, it’s automatically detected. And if you know your way around, you’ll have access to a multitude of parameters.

And if you want simplicity, there’s the BambuHandy app. Or simply select a model from the catalog, click “print” and choose your colors. Easy enough for a 5-year-old.

As the printer has a camera, you’ll have access to it via the app or software. This will allow you to view the printout from your phone, for example, but also to make timelapses automatically and share them on networks… A marketing idea surely, but so clever and cool. However, the camera is placed where it can, so the angle isn’t as good as on Bambu Lab’s bigger printers, the camera doesn’t seem as good, and the LED doesn’t light up very much.
