I enjoy tinkering too, hence I won't be getting rid of either my large CoreXY or my tool changer. The Bambu is replacing a bedslinger that I built based on a Prusa Bear years ago.

Awesome. Excited for youIt will be with me tomorrow

Any news?It will be with me tomorrow
Yeah, so I might have been a little premature. Happens to us all at some point in our lives.
The label has been printed but the shipment hasn't been handed over to DPD from the local warehouse yet. Maybe tomorrow.

urghh. well that sucks.

Any news yet?
Well, it looks like DPD may have "lost" it..........
Bambu are sorting.
Soldato
OMG. Just ridiculous. At least Bambu sorting it out. That sucks.
Any news? I see they have a load in EU warehouses now for KS backers and pre-orders.
It is finally being delivered tomorrow. They sent me one from the EU instead of me having to wait for restock in the UK.
This thing is beautiful.

Good benchy. 24mins from start to finish.

Hell of a good benchy at 24 minutes. wow.
If I get enough money from my printing projects I may just buy a Bambu.

Yeah, and 5 minutes of that was the heat up and calibration. The actual print only took 17 minutes.

They do look impressive. My only concern is the amount if filament they appear to purge out when changing colour, some of the videos on YouTube seem to show a lot. If I wasn't set on a Voron 2.4 I'd be ordering one of these. Maybe I'll order one when they release their next model/version.
Yeah, the coloir change does waste a lot of filament. It's the same with any machine that uses a single nozzle for multiple colours / materials. If you want less waste then you need a toolchanger or an IDEX.
I have a Toolchanger and it's great when it works. Pain in the ass to deal with though.
My main reason for having this though is not multi-colour prints. It's to have 4 different filaments loaded and being able to choose at the time I send the print job what to print it with rather than having to go and unload / load filiament.
At the moment I've got it loaded with PLA, PETG, ASA, and soluable support material. I think that's what it will be set up with going forwards.

If i had the multi, the one material would definitely be for clean supports. Dissolvable material or similar
