Originally launched as a Kickstarter campaign in May 2022, the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon with AMS O has gone on to become an industry standard in the prosumer market. Capable of extruding high temperature materials, printing with multiple colours simultaneously, and offering advanced print controls, the X1-Carbon has a list of features that is rapidly changing the landscape of desktop 3D printers. LIDAR-assisted bed levelling, automatic flow calibration, and a webcam that can automatically generate a time-lapse are among the features that come together to create a printer that somehow feels greater than the sum of its parts.
