Bambu Lab's new 3D printer the H2D is finally out but as much excitement as it generated, as much did it also confuse the 3D printing community. I sat down with Dr. Tao, the CEO of Bambu Lab to talk about a ton of technical details and decisions that were made around their new Flaghship. Grab a drink and sit back because this is a long but also very interesting conversation! 🐼 Get the NEW Bambu Lab H2D: https://geni.us/BambuLabH2D (affiliate) Check out our *CNC Kitchen products* at https://cnckitchen.store/ or at our global resellers https://www.cnckitchen.com/reseller 🖨️ Printed Parts: Sharkybara: https://platform.stlflix.com/product/sharkybara Charizard: https://makerworld.com/en/models/398058-charizard-flexi-articulated-pokemon 💚 Support me 🙏 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cnckitchen Join as a YouTube member!
