On a recent episode, Derek Sivers mentioned that he had bought a 3D printer from Bambu Lab and it had been a game-changer for him and his son’s creativity.

Like me, Derek had previously thought that 3D printers were super expensive and required a lot of technical knowledge to work. However Bambu Lab has changed all that with their truly beginner-friendly series of 3D printers that won’t break the bank.

After all, a printer is an investment, and I wanted to make sure I’d get what I needed—from crisp images to accurate colors to a set-up that was easy enough that I could do it without calling in reinforcements.
