Last update of the campaign! First off, I wanted to remind you that we only have a couple days left in the X1Plus Expander campaign, after which prices will go up a bit. With that out of the way, I just want to answer one simple question: why did I build X1Plus Expander? Read the full update.

Taking Action With Actions
I'm back from Supercon, and I've mostly shaken off the "con crud". I just looked at the crowdfunding page, and I'm feeling very honored that so many of you have decided to buy X1Plus Expander -- this has been an incredible success so far, much beyond the minimum I needed to make this possible, and so I'm looking forward to getting to use some of the economies of scale to put together nicer packaging and prettier plastics. In the mean time, I've been hard at work documenting the X1Plus Actions subsystem so that we can get some units in the hands of YouTube creators. It's still very early days, but I wanted to give you all a taste. So without further ado, let's take a deep dive into the X1Plus Actions subsystem! Read the full update.
We Are Live!
At long last, crowdfunding has begun for X1Plus Expander! If you're receiving this e-mail, but you forgot what X1Plus Expander is, it's the hardware companion to the X1Plus open-source custom firmware distribution for Bambu Lab's X1-series 3D printers. If you've been waiting for the ability to attach your printer via Ethernet, take beautiful time-lapses with your DSLR, have visual and auditory print farm status indications, or any of the myriad other things that X1Plus Expander can do, come have a look!
