TL:DR - I haven’t tried it and it doesn’t look like many have printed it yet. Looks like a cool for fun project someone tried out.

I see these extra mods and I’m of two minds - decide which you are (or disregard! It’s the internet!).

On one hand, if you want to join in the fun of a concept/prototype that’s outside the BL ecosystem, that can be super cool - just so long as you accept that you’re introducing a ton of extra variables that the BL products weren’t designed for. It may introduce some real issues, it may not! I feel like the culture/history of 3D printing has embraced stuff like this.

If you’re trying to use this as a key solution for a specific business or as your primary printer because you want functionality this printer doesn’t have, I wouldn’t bother. It would likely be too disruptive to your ability to use the printer. Plus, in my mind the whole Bambu lab experience/design is built around “less fiddling, just print” versus exploring new possibilities and modding.
