Temperature controlled chamber.

This is a great feature, for this alone I would love to get one.

Having a temperature controlled chamber AND Prusa profiles to easily set it up is amazing.

Right now I'm avoiding printing stuff in ABS, ASA or Nylon because of that, even though I have an enclosure on the MK4s I often have issues with these material. It's working but it is not click and forget like PLA or PETG.

Is this actively heated or just temperature controlled? From what I saw it just has vents to allow heat to escape (think leaving the door open when printing PLA).

If it was actively heated I would buy it in a heart beat, Voron doesn't even like people talking about it due to the high danger if done wrong.

EDIT: Yeah just looks like the bed heater still unfortunately. I have a modded enclosed Ender 5 I just have a heat soak script tied to a thermistor midway up the frame so I'll hold off until there's an actual separate heating element. Hopefully soon!

Great feature indeed. Here before the stratasys lawsuit lands in Josef's inbox.

Stratasys patents for a heated chamber expired on 2021.

That doesn't mean anything to a patent troll company like Stratasys. They have tons of generalized patents issued in the last few years on things the 3d printer community has been using as prior art for decades prior and they are using that as a basis to take down Bambu. Like heated beds, lmfao. They'll make some shit up and sue anyway because they're becoming irrelevant and are unable to compete legitimately anymore. And the Texas court well known for protecting corporate interests will hand them whatever they want.
