The 1983 film War Games is what taught me it was okay to give up…

I have a Prusa MINI and used Prusa i3 machines where I used to work. They are pretty solid, and I do like their open source ideals quite a bit. But I needed/wanted a larger print area for a price under $1,000 USD and the Bambu fit the bill.

I mostly print PLA so the lid is propped open and the door is ajar… Once winter comes to the midwest and my basement is freezing cold I may have to adjust things a bit. I added a Prusa MINI in January 2022 and could not print properly until I added an enclosure.

I’ve had one for about a month, and I’ve been printing nearly non-stop with it. If you just want a printer that works out of the box, prints fast, and prints really nice… It’s a great machine. I’ve owned and operated a lot of printers (at work, at home, at school, at a makerspace) over the last 12 years, and I’m not a fan of the cloud or proprietary hardware but, damn… this thing prints really, really nice… and fast.

I’ve been playing this on my Anbernic RG35XX recently and I’m terrible at it but it’s still a lot of fun.
