Bambu Lab has launched Maker’s Supply, a storefront for non-3D printed components often used in 3D printing projects, such as “fasteners, magnets, bearings, hardware, electronics, and tools”.

Maker’s Supply provides dimensions and digital models for its components, as well as installation or assembly instructions and design guidelines. Meanwhile, designers who make use of MakerWorld – Bambu Lab’s 3D model platform – can configure a BOM for their models. After downloading a model, users can purchase the parts listed within that BOM (assuming they are available on Maker’s Supply) “with just one click”.

There’s also a “creator incentive” for Maker’s Supply. Bambu Lab says it’s still ironing out the details here, but for the time being has taken a “simple approach” that sees designers earning points from parts sold via their models.

The first wave of Maker’s Supply products is already up for sale on the Bambu Store, and ranges from the practical (gear motors) to the novel (components for a USB-powered marble run). There’s also a “Maker Combo Kit” that contains a range of commonly used parts for designers to have at hand, which is also available from MakerWorld’s points shop along with a variety of pre-existing kits.

Some of the Maker’s Supply items, like the wireless mouse components kit and engine model components kit, were previously shipped as free gifts with A1 Mini pre-orders, and sold independently by Bambu Lab.

There’s an extensive write-up about Maker’s Supply on Bambu Lab’s blog, and plenty more details about the creator’s incentive program on a dedicated page.
