Update to my own experiences with my two Bambu Labs printers. Been very good only one time I had to deal with a filament issue were I allowed the roll to go empty before I could stop it. I had to disconnect the rear hose from AMS an pull the filament out after heating the extruder. Luckily having had similar problems with other printers it was not a big deal.
Filament ordering from Bambu Labs they listed black an white PLA an ABS in stock claimed 3 or 4 day shipment over a week later receiving tomorrow. It turns out my Creality Ender filament works just fine thankfully because I have tons of that stuff lol.
But I am not the only one experiencing these problems with filament ordering. The other you're not supposed to put high temp abrasive filament through the AMS an really not doing a good job listing this information.
The printer overall been very good to work with an output been very good very happy.

A little Bambu Labs machine update the user group on Facebook approaching 6k an overall most people are happy. Some have found issues with non Bambu Labs filament. A number have found out the hard way about abrasive filament in the AMS "not supposed to use". I am amazed at the number of people printing in carbon like a ton. Many sharing their .stl files as they find flaws with the design. Not surprising given it's a brand new product from a brand new company.
This is a new design I am working on Fusion 360 on the right.

No mention about the AMS and I think that is intentional to give Flsun V400 a lift because color printing is they way of the future and easy carbon printing too.

"Many promising 3D printers have come and gone, but Bambu Lab’s X1 has galvanized the 3D printing community with its AI-powered capabilities, which can print material in 16 colors roughly twice as fast as competitors. The X1, which can be remotely controlled via Bambu’s “Handy” mobile app, is the result of seven iterations and 22 months of engineering. Company founder Ye Tao says the goal was to move the actual experience of using 3D printers closer to the public imagination of a “magic box that satisfies every need in the blink of an eye.” As of October, 5,575 backers on Kickstarter had pledged $7 million to bring the project to life—making it one of the most successful hardware projects ever on the crowd-funding platform. The X1 should begin shipping this fall.

Bambu Lab developed a lower cost version that has the same lightweight carbon fiber support but open frame design. Likely around 500 to 700 dollars each. You can it seems build it out to mach the 1500 dollar version.

What is a print farm and how can I make money with this?
Are they costly to run? Say I print 20 tchotchke's, what's that cost in materials? If I print a "Warhammer" figure that's 5 inches tall would I have to sell it for $20 to break even?
This is intriguing for some reason. 3d printing has always been interesting but seemed to just not quite be there yet and has lost a lot of the momentum as far as mainstream consciousness but it is the future in a lot of ways imo...

Well printing speed and number of units are a big part of how you can improve your bottom line. Customization too is helpful if you have familiarity with 3D modeling. There are tons of stuff already made that most times is free though some cost a slight bit. Down to materials if your using some different suppliers the prices can vary a lot sometime. You have to realize the speed of the print maybe affected somewhat depending on the quality of the filament. Cheap filament tends to have issues with speed or temp. There are now a number of fast printers on the market causing Bambu Labs to introduce a new lower cost entry level printer with similar insane speed but lacks some of the more advance features in lidar. You have to also make sure you get the AMS from Bambu Labs it's a game changer. Oh keeping organized is a big deal because the amount of material you carry in a print farm is substantial.
Oh youtube is a very good source for information about setting up a print farm.

Print farm user of high speed printers not me.
Another user pretty much identical setup. lol I love how clean the Bambu Labs printer looks compared to the 2 home built CoreXY printers.

One more this is someone who runs a print farm no idea how many Bambu Labs printers being used an insane number obviously. This is the type of guy could answer some questions on farming.
