Alleged Images of Upcoming Bambu Lab 3D Printer Leaked, Suggesting Potential Design Upgrades - Analyzing the Images Reveals Possible Modifications
Caught Early: The Upcoming Bambu Lab 3D Printer Exposure! 👀
A sneaky leak hit the interwebs on June 4th by an anonymous source on X, who claims to have snatched a sneak peek of the next Bambu Lab 3D printer. Check out the blurry image we've shared (courtesy of "丫丫" from WeChat) in the tweet above. 👇
With the internet buzzing and sleuth gurus huddling around their screens, they geared up for the age-old tradition of image dissection to decipher the mystery.
When the alleged new printer made an appearance in March 2025, we kept our lips zipped during our Tom's Hardware embargo, already testing the waters with the newcomer in our workshop. However, this time, there's no embargo in sight. Rumors have it that no official announcement has been made yet.
Remember the P1P, Bambu Lab's cheaper buddy to the X1 Carbon in 2022? Even though it emerged without much fanfare and only a few test units reached the critics' hands before the public unveiling, it was a common pattern back then. And it looks like history might repeat itself! 🕰️
I recently chatted with Bambu Lab's PR whiz for a friendly catch-up, where we discussed my experience with the H2D's laser after spending some quality time with it. We chewed the fat about new filament lines and the success of Bambu's CyberBrick modular RC vehicles, not forgetting the new additions to MakerLab. As usual, they left the question about a new printer hanging, simply shrugging it off, hinting that we might have to wait a bit.
There's always something exciting brewing in the 3D printing world. Bambu Lab is leaving no stone unturned, carving its niche across the landscape, catering to both home and business users, boasting a range of models at various price points. The A1 Mini reigns supreme as our top pick for beginners, while the H2D takes the lead for pros. 🏆
Let's dive into that blurry image everyone's talking about. Our design wizards played with the contrast, and voila, here are the key findings:
- A single extruder nozzle, indistinguishable from the A1's oval window, can be seen.
- The same tool head camera as the H2D, used for readability during printing and calibration, is present.
- The tool head itself resembles the H2D's, with some slight modifications and variations hinting at a redesigned model.
- The built platform features a large number - 340, suggesting a build volume larger than the H2D's.
- A faint white timestamp at the bottom corner might indicate a recent leak.
Speculation runs high, with armchair sleuths positing the photo could be a stripped-down H2D, something less expensive with a single nozzle and a larger build volume - fitting the pattern of previous releases.
Let's break down the hints across the leaked image:- Is there a poop chute? Let's hope so, since a single-color, stripped-down H2D would be a buzzkill.- Why is the extruder window oval? Perhaps an exciting new attachment for cutting and plotting efficiently.- Does it have the same build width? Since the nozzle and fans appear similar, it's plausible.
Even though the H2D already offers a less expensive model, stipping off the AMS, the price still sits at $1,999. A more affordable model, sans laser capabilities, could appeal to many users. The community eagerly awaits any news, so stay tuned!
- In the whirl of 3D printing technology, the upcoming Bambu Lab 3D printer might be a gadget that caters to a broader audience, boasting an affordable price point.
- With the leaked image showcasing a potential redesign, it seems Bambu Lab is readying a new addition to their line of gadgets, likely aimed at home users.
