Why Buy a 3D Printer? [video 593]

In this one I try to cut through the noise to take a neutral look at a 3D printer, the Bambu Lab P1s, to see if it’s something I’ll be able to use productively. This isn’t the first 3D printer I’ve owned, but at least I’ve taken this one out of the box; wether it’s a keeper or another to be given away remains to be seen, but if you’re on the fence about 3D printing then join me on this journey and see if it might be for you. Enjoy!
