Hi folks,After releasing my hanging Sloth about a year and a half ago, I've gotten numerous requests for a hanging Panda.However, as I was getting ready to work on it, I found that 2 other designers had copied my sloths joints and created Pandas...ugh.I'm not naïve, I know that whenever I create a new mechanic, it will be stolen. But this caused me to put the panda idea aside for a while.Fast forward to an exciting e-mail Last month, Bambu Lab reached out and asked if I would create a bamboo lovin' Panda for them.

FYI, I have been approached by multiple companies about promoting their brands, but for me it eats away at my soul to promote something that I don't believe in.  Bambu Lab, I love your printers...YES!So I said "screw it" I'll just have to make the most adorable panda ever! (hope you agree) I'm not done with it, Like the sloth, the panda is going to need something to hang on to, and I have something pretty awesome in mind, so stay tuned.-Dan

Dustie Chase

Panda must now be the bambu gaurdian

Tony Thompson

I can't wait for this I know it's going to be awesome, Thanks for your great work

Niekon

Only promote those companies you are comfortable with… don’t give in. We love your designs as do our friends & customers… don’t show off a lesser product for your phenomenal designs/prints

Todd Sipala

What a great story Dan. I can't wait to print a Guardian for my Bambu X1C!

Rockett-Rex

I’ve named the printer panda so the panda is a must have 😃

Chasity

😍 love it

Mikateri

That sloth was my very first 3D print. I made a whole little family and they sit with their tree on my desk every day. The pot was just amazing and can't wait to see how you blow our minds with this 🐼

Kent Deusinger

I have a wire shelf above my 2 X1C’s that I store my AMS’ on and now I plan to have a Bambu Panda hanging out right above each of them. Awesome work my friend. Thanks for what you do.

Joseph Ploettner

Looking forward to this one :) I have the colors ready

Joseph Olson

This is awesome I just got my first bambu printer last week and it is amazing. I love my older printers for the learning I have had but thus takes printing to a entire new fun level. I am so happy to see your design. I've seen the others and like your styling better so I can wait!!!

Thor

I just hope you do two versions. One with the Bambu logo and one without!!! Thanks for making this. I would rather make yours than the others. You test!!! 🤣

2026-09-06 23:00 NICE, The Bambu X1C is just so good and so fun to print with, I rarely use my Prusa minis or MK3S+ now.

george sorrell

I love your stuff. I’m so stoked for this

Maureen Nemetski

Ooh. Can't wait for a panda! Would be amazing if it could hang off the X1C or AMS. Thank you!

Logan DeMaria

THIS is the one I’ve been waiting for!!

Christopher Carrico

Looks great! I noticed Printverse on Cults3d having many models that are the same animal or the same joints/features as yours so I wondered if something was up. Hate that your work is being copied so closely because it’s great!

J Maxx

OMG!! Yes pls and BIG Congrats🖤🤍

Magpulx720

Can't wait for my P1S to show up!

Shayla Anthony

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Still sucks though.

Sheree Lyons

Love my X1 and your files work perfectly every print. Love the panda idea and I hate that people can’t be original but it is a testament to your incredible work

Mark Tuttle

Can't agree more, up to 2 P1P's plus AMS on both of them. Can't wait to print the pandas

Innes

My husband and I love our X1 and we can print your files quite small with no issues, which we then use as ‘prizes’ in our classrooms. The kids go wild for all of your designs - keep them coming 🌟🤩

Brandon Ryan

I love your creations. keep up the great work and I'm super happy I joined your patreon!

Tatra

Love your designs and just makes me mad. People are jerks trust me. I lost a friendship over a copied stl and my beliefs of if it’s private use it’s private use only not include in a mystery box. I love flexi design they are awesome please keep up the amazing prints

Danny Bush

This is awesome, I am a cartoon finatic and I have a soft spot for the panda. I have seen bootleg offerings of your work on Printables as well. I could not bring myself to print it so I went to MMF and bought your sloth instead. I felt better immediately. Printing the Sloth planter right now. Waiting on the colors to print the flexi sloth. Patiently waiting is an understatement.

Bambu Lab Flexi Factory Panda Sneak Peek im patreon subscriber are you going to make this for prusa printers not everyone love Bambu Lab

Kelly H

John McMahon

My P1P and AMS will love this... amazing work as always

Brett Maxwell

Looks awesome,My new X1 Carbon comes this week will definately give this a go

Mark Tuttle

My wife suggest a eucalyptus trees she thinks that would look cool.

Mark Tuttle

Can you tell were excited to print with these new machines

R&B Creations

He usually includes Prusa files as well

Dan

This is a computer render of the design.

Millian Designs

I love the Panda!! And i just ordered the Bambu Lab P1S yesterday! All because of your color prints!! Thanks and keep up the great work :)

Jocie Braaksma

My P1S will be here tomorrow, this will likely be one of my first multi-color prints! So cute Dan! You really are the best!

Dan

I believe I answer you in DM too :) Yes, I will continue to provide colored Prusa 3mf files! Also, planning to provide members with a non-branded version.

D.A.R.K_3D

I'm kicking myself now for buying a few new printers this year. all because of the Bambu printers. (which i didn't buy) :(

Tony Thompson

Can't wait, yours is going to be so cool the others are awful....

Dan

No pressure hahaha

Dan

I need to grab a Prusa multi-color machine at some point. Curious about the differences and I know lots of folks love them too. I just couldn't resist the Bambu after seeing other 3d printers using them. My wife is happy because she doesn't have to buy me a birthday, anniversary or Christmas present hahaha.

Kevin Porter

will this have stl files to or just bambu files ?

Ohad Daya

When it will be available ???

Dan

There will be stls as well as prusa and bambu 3mfs.

Dan

Still working on it :)

Magpulx720

Sooooo, tomorrow? that's when I get my P1S

Greeneyes

Woohoo.... congrats.. x

Dan

Not yet. I do tend to put out new models on Thursday and Fridays :)

MrTracyanne

I just brought my second ams so now I Xan do 8 colours just love the Bambu p1p

John McMahon

Really itching for this Panda, any idea on release eta Dan? Thanks

Morgan Harris

I'm so very excited to see your new Panda! I've been looking for a good one for ages and your files are the best! Bambu Labs makes a great unit, I run a number of them. Cheers and keep up the great work!

Dan

Shooting for Friday :)

Paddy's Toy Factory

Hey just wondering is there any way you could make a file where all of the color components are in pieces for non multicolored printers ?

Denise Mohr

My Grand daughter is going to Love this!!! Thank you🩷

Dan

The panda will not be in pieces, because it is print-in-place with no supports. But the Tree accessory will be and can be colored with a layer change :) Plug pieces like the owl does not work with every model. The links to be flexi have to print in a specific way to avoid supports.

Jason R Ely

"water-mark" the internal structure of what you make. It is so much harder to remove internal WM than to remove the "FF" on the foot. I personally like non-branded prints but it would be so much harder to remove internal ones...

Marti Reusch

What are your AMS flush rates from white and black? I seem to always get a lot of bleed into the white.

2026-09-06 23:00 does the panda hang on the same tree the sloths do
2023-07-28 17:10

Dan

I haven't tried. I did design the panda hand differently though.

Dan

I use the auto calculate feature each time I print a model. It should help eliminate any bleed.

Dan

You shouldn't need to remove the internal one. It only shows when you paint it. But I provided a non-branded version to members of the panda. The one the public downloads will have Flex Factory and Bambu Lab.

Sami Alqahtani

You are a wonderful and creative artist. I bought about 40 of your models from your site in cluts. When I learned that you are in Patreon, I could not help myself. Without introductions, I subscribed to see your creations. Thank you, thank you, king of 3D printing.

Jason R Ely

nooo, I was saying if people want to keep ripping off your hard work, make an internal watermark (where the infill goes). That way if it looks like others are doing it, you have more info on who's doing it. They say copying is the best form of flattery..

carrie roehrig

Love it. Would love the colored sloth in makerworld also :)

J K

DAN THE MF MAN!!!!!

Dan

I won't have the files in makerworld unfortunately, because they are not free. there is a cost to download. But on MMF or Cults, I do intend to add the colored files as time allows.

carrie roehrig

Thanks. I purchased the sloth on mmf since I didn't have your patreon when it came out. Looking forward to the colored version being available. Ty

Toni D

Can't wait to see it. Congrats! on Bambu

Krista

how can we get the panda? I don't see a link

Dan

The sloth is already loaded in the file:) Just go back to your order and grab it.

Abigail Petri

I can't wait!!! I know I don't have a Bambu but I'll paint it! I am new with 3D printing so I am learning everything as I go.... I would love to have a quarter of the talent you have in your designs!

ELEPRINTS

I've just this week got a Bambu - cannot wait to print this!!

Dan

Congrats. Love my Bambu machines.

Marie Ledbetter

Love it! It's going to be so adorable, and having a p1S I'm going to have to print it
