Unleashing Creativity with CyberBrick: The Future of 3D-Printed Interactive Toys

· 02:19

Bambu Lab is shaking up the world of 3D-printed toys with its new CyberBrick system, launched under its MakerWorld brand. CyberBrick pairs reusable, programmable electronics with customizable 3D-printed models, allowing makers to create interactive toys beyond the official designs. The first wave includes three core toys— a forklift, a truck, and a soccer-playing bot— along with a wireless controller, all available initially through Kickstarter. The campaign has already surpassed its funding goal, with orders expected to ship in May 2025. But the real magic lies in the open-ended potential: Bambu Lab hopes the CyberBrick ecosystem will thrive with user-generated designs, enabling everything from a walking table to a Tesla Cybertruck replica. And for those worried about printer compatibility— good news! These designs aren’t locked to Bambu’s printers.

Key Points:

  • What is CyberBrick? A new toy system from Bambu Lab that combines 3D-printable parts with programmable electronics for interactive play.
  • Available via Kickstarter: Funding goal already achieved, with first shipments expected in May 2025.
  • Official Models: The launch includes a forklift, truck, and soccer bot, plus a compatible wireless controller.
  • Customization & Community Designs: Users can print and build their own toys, with early community creations including a lunar rover, walking table, and Cybertruck replica.
  • Pricing: Kits start at $29.99, with optional pre-printed parts—but pre-printed kits won’t be available once CyberBrick moves to regular sales.
  • Beyond Toys: Bambu also sells components for capturing timelapse footage of 3D prints.
  • Not Locked to Bambu Printers: Unlike some of the company's recent policies, CyberBrick parts can be printed using any 3D printer.

With Bambu Lab moving toward more maker-friendly products, CyberBrick could be a game-changer for 3D enthusiasts looking to blend hands-on creativity with programmable tech. Would you 3D print your own remote-controlled toy? 🚀
