I deliberately took some time to look at Bambu Lab’s now not-so-new flagship. Apart from the fact that you can’t lure anyone away from the stove with the umpteenth post on the same topic on release day, experience has shown that 3D printers in particular can either mature like fine wine or be forgotten like uncooled milk. So, what direction is this manufacturer taking with its completely new platform?

Packaging and scope of delivery

Wrapping is a good keyword, because with a weight of 43 kilograms, you should first give the letter carrier a hand and then place the box very gently on the floor.

In my case, the device actually came via a shipping company and on a small pallet, but this is probably no longer the case and UPS and DPD drivers are being penalized.

These small plastic fasteners that connect the “base plate” and the outer packaging are something I’m otherwise only familiar with from furniture or server boxes.

Once these have been removed, the adhesive strips on the inside also have to be removed.

As always, I would then advise you to place the printer where you want it to stay. And don’t carry the bulky block around on your own, the two handles at the bottom are great for carrying the device with two people.

The first step is to remove the various foils and wrapped glass on the top.

Then remove the large piece of foam with the box containing the accessories.

Before you can remove the AMS 2 Pro stowed in the printer, the four screws marked in red must be removed.

The screws of the brackets must also be removed.

Once the AMS has been lifted out of the interior, the screws of the lower bracket must also be loosened.

There are also a few more foam blocks here and there, which you also remove from the printer.

The print bed is again fixed in four places with screws, which must be removed.
