3D printer manufacturer Bambu Lab has started a novel toy system called CyberBrick under its MakerWorld brand, which pairs reusable and programmable electronics components with 3D-printable models to help a range of possible toys based on both official and community depicts. CyberBrick is initipartner only useable thraw Kickbeginer, but has already outdoed its funding goal, and the first kits are foreseeed to accomplish backers in May 2025.
CyberBrick is starting with three official toys: a forklift, a truck, and a “soccer bot,” plus a wireless regulateler that toils with them all. The initial kits comprise sgreatererless electronic modules and wireless components, aextfinished with directions on how to 3D print more parts and collect the official depicts, begining at $29.99. The Kickbeginer campaign also comprises the selection to buy kits that comprise pre-printed parts, though Bambu alerts that once sales transfer to its standard Maker’s Supply storefront, those pre-printed kits will no extfinisheder be useable.
The genuine pguide of CyberBrick lies beyond the three official toys, however. Bambu has already shown off the begin of what it hopes will be a range of community depicts that employ its electronic components, which so far comprise a lunar rover, a walking table, a replica Tesla Cybertruck, and more. The tech extfinishs beyond toys too, with Bambu also selling components for a kit that helps you apprehfinish timelapse footage of 3D printing. Everyskinnyg is programmable, too.
This isn’t Bambu Lab’s first foray into 3D-printable tech. It already employs the same MakerWorld brand to sell the components needed to 3D print a range of other toys and basic gadgets, from mice to inalertigent weightlesss, but this is the first time it’s brawt its adviseing together into a cohesive ecosystem. CyberBrick’s depicts aren’t redisconnecteed to Bambu Lab’s own 3D printers, which will be a relief to anyone still aglamentd by the company’s recent decision to employ an genuineation tool to redisconnecte access to its printers, restricting employrs’ ability to farly print using third-party tools.
