what exactly makes a printer that's fast special?

[CanuckCreator]

Yes i know speed isnt everything and no way the cooling/chimera will keep up with the speeds this is moving at (ive tried) but mechanically, it does move at these speeds and accurately too.

[echo]

lets see it print fast, not just zip in the air.

[ericlotze]

Almost as if they took the Open Source development from VORON et al, made a shiny case for it, closed sourced it all, and called it all their own.

[CB_agotchi]

Anything can go fast with enough mods. The fact that they are plug n play with no tuning is the key

[andy-in-indy]

And where do we buy an assembled and tuned Voron for $700?

[YourLordMobius]

This is why i hate people that praise the bambu for being fast. We've had fast, for a while. Yall were just too lame to build it.

[ryangamble]

The bamboo brought speed to the peeps that can't handle building their own. There have been great improvements in the software and hotend/extruder tech which help the newer machines. I've never seen a first gen voron, thanks for that!

[adamfilipowicz]

one will just work and the other will work in a few days of tweaking and then have a problem and than work again a few days after that. been tinkering with 3d printers since 2015 and the Bambu Machines are a breath of fresh air

[fdsman]

I imagine the context is if you want to print fast and reliably, vorons might be high performance but they need an awful lot of tinkering and messing with, which not every 3d printer owner wants to do to have a working printer.

[TravisBrown]

Assuming this isn't a rhetorical question and we are ignoring quality that would be limited to the volumetric capacity of the hotend 1. SPEED not the same as Acceleration. You are not getting that setup to 500mm/s with 6000m2 acceleration. Especially 12vDRV. 2. Motion planning. Those quick motions are bottlenecked by that RAMPS board.

Caveat, Smoothie Board and TinyG both have the capability to run the same speeds back then as the newer boards can today.

[MichaelDeigaard]

It goes fast, waaaay more quiet than the Bambu. My God they are loud

[jamieclarke]

Let’s be honest though there is one thing there that wasn’t from 2016/2017. What was it Nero? That’s right, the software

[JimmieZ]

The Bambulabs is nothing new but it is just the next out of the box plug and play-ish fast corexy printer. At it's base it nothing that hasn't been done before by the community. I see it more for those who want a fast out of the box corexy printer vs the tinkerers that would build a voron or vzbot. It has it's merits and I would get one, but I still want to build my own voron or vzbot since I like to tinker.

[PrintFarmer]

The speed isn’t the game changer. The auto-calibration and ease of use of the AMS is.

[Veilhalm-AZ]

I think the bambu labs printers are the iPhones of the printer world. Everything is proprietary but it just does what it's supposed to do out of the box.

[SnakeOilDev]

Fast is just the max speed of the motor. Real fast is how fast it can go without mess up the part dimension

[njsurf]

I think the buzz is about the ease of setup. From box to print.. but not open source makes me think twice.

[_Piers_]

It looks like there are a lot of Bamboolabs true believers...

[midnightcharger]

Once you get past the marketing wank...you realize, they are computer controlled glue guns, with basically all the same basics. There will always be a trade-off of speed vs accuracy.

[TripleJAu]

Thanks for the video as always.. Greatly appreciate the work you do... Just a few things.
1) The Bambulabs x1c and p1p come let's say 95% or more pre built
2) Voron as far as I know mostly certainly didn't in 2016 and still doesn't in late 2022 and 2023 ( if I am wrong please correct)
3) a knowledge of electronics.. soldering skills.. building 3d printers all required with voron.
4) re 3) Bambulabs does one need those skills?
