laser engraving in a 3d printer sounds good in theory, becuase both are a toolhead on an xy gantry, but in practice theres a ton of complications.
for one, laser cutters/etchers stink and emit a ton of very nasty chemicals. you need to run the laser in a dedicated workshop, whereas a 3d printer, as long as you stick to common filament types, can be run in a living room.
the only situation you'd want this if you have a very small, but very well ventilated workshop.
otherwise, get a separate 3d printer and a separate laser.
You on commission for this thing EP?
Because I'm sold!
I know the family are multi-ethnic but that advert works, I want one! :)

The problem is bambu is targeting the noob and dumb crowd so i expect a lot of their customers to die suddenly after buying this
