Will Wright’s take
“The cheapest way to print really big without fuss.”
A 33 cm build volume for $469 is wild, and it keeps Bambu's easy setup. The trade-off is that it's open, has a cooler bed, and moves a heavy plate around, so it's a PLA and PETG machine. For cosplay and props, that's all most people need.

Worth knowing
- Open frame and 80 °C bed limit it to PLA/PETG/TPU-class materials
