    Bambu Lab A1 update:
    This setup process was certainly an interesting procedure, but I must say I'm pretty impressed I was able to do a lot of it just with the help of Claude Voice Mode instructions.

    Unfortunately, I didn't record it. It took me hours, with eating in between, mainly because I procrastinated over the cables for half an hour. If you know how it works, it's really not that hard, but you have to fit a cable box at the bottom of the printer and align the cables.

    Eventually, I just got sighted help, which turned out to be smart because there were apparently stickers you had to remove as well.

    For now, I'm printing without the AMS Lite. The Benchy printed successfully on the second try, after the first print did nothing because I hadn't put in the filament correctly. You really have to check if it's pulling the filament, and maybe even feel the plate (if it's not at maximum temperature).

    I also tried printing a whistle, but it completely messed up, and now I'll have to wait for my actual filament to arrive today.

    Sorry again for not being able to record this. I was actually very enthusiastic about documenting it, but unfortunately, I kinda underestimated it, since I had to understand it myself first.

    But I'm open to any questions, and might write a blog post about it in the future too.

    Also, this thing would be really great to sample.

    Also, the unboxing was me being overwelmed by the big af box, struggling to get all the parts out and scattering half the stuff on the floor, so, uh, I don't think you've missed a lot to be honest.
