Wham Bam is releasing what they hope is the ultimate 3D printer bed, made from carbon fiber. Is it a breakthrough or just marketing hype? In this video, I undertake extensive testing and examine the strengths and weaknesses.
These beds were provided free of charge by Wham Bam for the purposes of testing and providing feedback. The products will be tweaked prior to production based on the testing group’s feedback. All opinions expressed are my own and the product has been tested in accordance with my review policy: teachingtechyt.github.io/reviewpolicy.html
