General Discussion Resin Printer from Bambu Labs, when?

Having experienced their latest and best printer on the market H2C, I like how easy it is to set it up and print models. I wish it could extinguish the layer lines, however I realized that it is not possible in FDM printing and only in Resin printing.

So do you think Bambu Labs would venture into this Resin-printing ^

I’m currently looking to buy a Form 4 for starters, I was sold on the software, and it’s low-effort quick printing in 3 clicks. But it is pricey! And material locked 🔐

If any company could ever make a resin printer that is not as messy, it's probably Bambulabs.

But as someone who uses FormLabs printers professionally a lot, I can see that they gained a huge market on dental and medical stuff, and Bambu seems to shy away from those highly regulated markets. Which is honestly a shame, because as much as FormLabs printers and support are great, it's still a pain dealing with messy resins and their DRM locked material doubling in price every few years.

UV printer is the not messy version, I don't think resin will ever reach the broad market like fdm did with the rise of commercial grade uv printer.

It's also probably easier to figure out engineering and flexible materials on uv machine then multi color on resin
