Thinking about getting my first printer to print some organization stuff around the house, some nerf parts, as well as some small toys and fidget for friends/kids. The Bambu Lab A1 seems to be notable for being beginner friendly without a lot of fiddling.

Read recently about the lawsuit and I’m wondering if I should wait until that’s resolved before pulling the trigger. I’m worried that some outcome there will eliminate important features or worst case make it obsolete entirely. Any thoughts?

    That lawsuit is going to go on for years, so uh, I wouldn’t wait.

    And, frankly, those kind of suits settle out of court and end up in a licensing deal anyways so there’s very little chance that anything important will change tech-wise.

        Stratasys is suing Bambu over things like having a heated bed and using purge towers. Basically stuff that every decent printer does.
