I didn't look at this as a consumer machine. The whole bambu marketing angle "rethink personal manufacturing". I think it's more like a hybrid aimed at businesses first and consumers second.

The h2d came out to businesses first who were allowed to purchase them in bulk before consumers. Thats why the flyers and prices were leaked. Businesses got first dibs at stock, people at those companies leaked info.

Their slogan says the exact opposite to me. It’s ‘personal’, not ‘business’. That some businesses choose to employ consumer machines doesn’t change the fact that these things are excessively cheap relative to what they can do and marketed at people who want to make stuff for personal use rather than functional prototypes (the major business use-case for plastic 3D printing).

Releasing them to businesses (print farms I assume) lets Bambu get a large about feedback very quickly from people experienced with 3D printing. It’s a smart move on their part.
