Bambu's largest bed-slinger build volume, big enough to print full-size helmets and large props in a single piece rather than in glued sections.
The A2L stores several calibration sets at different heights up the Z axis to keep the faint vertical banding of tall bed-slinger prints under control.
An add-on blade-cutting and pen module extends the A2L beyond printing for sticker cutting and plotting workflows.
7 linear rails, 4 independent Z motors with Quad-Gantry Leveling, and a flying CoreXY gantry — the core architecture of the Voron 2.4, pre-assembled and ready to print.
Ships with Klipper pre-configured with Input Shaper, Pressure Advance, adaptive mesh bed leveling, and Obico remote monitoring — no configuration required to start printing.
One of the largest open-frame CoreXY build volumes at this price tier. The AC-powered bed heats quickly and handles ABS, ASA, PC, and PA with a 300°C capable hotend.
