Bambu Lab Carbon X1 Review

Watch on YouTube When I started in 3D printing, you had 2 options. A $20k professional grade 3D printer, and $800 worth of parts and a crappy product in the end.

How to LaserGRBL

Watch on YouTube This video was made because… well, because I wished I had a video like this a few weeks ago, and now it’s out there. I’m not expecting much from this video.
