Thank you Bambu, I'm excited to see what's next!
Wow, what a few days it's been huh?
Bambu really stepped in it with this one. They had the market locked. Every tech channel had them as their go to, they were the "Kleenex" of the 3D printing space.
I'm betting their competitors who up to this point were fighting an uphill battle to get a foot into the home market these days are salivating. This isn't just a door cracked for them, it's a door thrown wide open and off the hinges.
All these competitors have to do at this point is be good enough, where yesterday they had to be better than Bambu. Anyone with a Bambu would have required significant, tangible benefits to make the change. To suggest to someone to use something other than a Bambu printer, these unknowing influencers would have had to trust another brand more than Bambu.
Right now, I can't say I'd tell my friends or colleagues to buy a Bambu. I can't say I know what brand I would suggest over them, but one will emerge.
I'm actually looking forward to this, Creality recently released their K2 Plus and it's a "good" printer.
They need to get their software on point, make the customer experience phenomenal, and get their act together and make using third party tools easy.
If they can do that, there's the opening they needed.
