- Worth noticing
- The guide maintains a confirmed-versus-unpublished specification table and explains why CO₂ ownership involves mirrors, cooling, and tube replacement.
Field notes
The page uses a confirmed-versus-unpublished structure rather than repeating circulating specifications as fact. Its technical section explains how a glass CO₂ tube sends an invisible 10.6 µm beam through mirrors, and why alignment, water cooling, and tube replacement matter. The timeline connects the R1 to Bambu’s earlier H2D diode module and records the teaser sequence leading to the stated 22 September launch.
