Bambu Lab Launches CyberBrick: 3D-Printable Toys with Reusable, Programmable Electronics
Bambu Lab, already renowned for its 3D printers and MakerWorld brand, has unveiled a new modular toy system called CyberBrick. This system combines 3D-printed parts with reusable, programmable electronics, allowing enthusiasts to build—and hack—an ever-expanding library of toy designs. Initially released via a Kickstarter campaign, CyberBrick quickly surpassed its funding goal and is slated to ship its first kits to backers in May 2025.
At launch, CyberBrick debuts with three official toy builds: a forklift, a truck, and a “soccer bot”, all compatible with a single wireless controller. Each kit comes with solderless electronic modules, wireless components, and instructions to 3D print the necessary parts. Backers can choose kits starting at $29.99, while pricier pledge tiers offer pre-printed parts—though Bambu Lab warns that once the system transitions from Kickstarter to regular retail, the pre-printed parts will no longer be available.
Beyond the initial trio of toys, the real power of CyberBrick lies in the community’s creativity. Bambu Lab envisions an expansive catalog of user-generated designs, such as lunar rovers, walking tables, and even a replica Tesla Cybertruck. The modules can be repurposed for projects beyond toy-making, including a timelapse photography kit for documenting 3D printing in action. Since everything is programmable, tinkerers can fully customize and fine-tune their builds.
CyberBrick also represents the most comprehensive ecosystem Bambu Lab has offered so far. Though the company has previously sold components for other DIY 3D-printed gadgets, CyberBrick integrates those efforts into a single platform. Importantly, the system isn’t locked to Bambu Lab’s own printers—an open approach that contrasts with the company’s recent decision to introduce an authentication tool for some of its printer models, restricting remote printing via third-party tools.
With its modular, multi-use electronics and support for community-driven innovation, CyberBrick aims to shake up the 3D-printable toy space. For those who already own a 3D printer and crave fresh, programmable projects—or anyone simply looking to expand their maker repertoire—Bambu Lab’s new toy ecosystem is poised to inspire plenty of creative builds. The Kickstarter campaign remains live, and with the early momentum behind it, CyberBrick could well become a staple in DIY-maker circles by summer 2025. One thing for sure, with the announcement of the H2D 3D Printer, 2025 is going to be a busy year for Bambu Lab.
