Ender-3 S1

The Ender-3 S1 was procured by a member faction interested in increasing project flux within the Digital Fabrication Lab at Bloominglabs.

By upgrading our equipment (as measured according to the metric of Low Cognitive and Maintenance Overhead to Use, rather than performance simpliciter), it is hoped that more investment of attention and resources will be drawn to this sector of the space.
