How CyberBrick Is Shaking Things Up in 3D Printing

There’s a new toy in town—and if you’re into 3D printing, electronics, or just love making stuff, it’s worth a look.

Bambu Lab (yep, the same ones making those fast and fancy printers like the P1P and X1) has launched something called CyberBrick. Think LEGO Technic, but smarter. You 3D print the parts yourself, then snap in little programmable motors and sensors to bring your model to life.

And no, you don’t need to be an engineer to get started.

So, what exactly is CyberBrick?

It’s a mix of:

• 3D printable components

• Tiny plug-and-play electronics (motors, lights, etc.)

• A wireless controller to make it all move

• Optional printed kits if you don’t want to print it yourself

You download the files, print the bits at home, and plug in the electronics—no soldering, coding, or tears involved. That makes it ideal for makers, families, schools, or anyone who wants to dip a toe into robotics without frying a circuit board.

Why is it a big deal?

Normally, you’re either into 3D printing or electronics. CyberBrick bridges both. You get the hands-on fun of printing your own parts, and then the satisfaction of seeing it do something real—like drive across the floor, light up, or avoid obstacles.

Also: it’s not locked to Bambu printers. You can print the parts on any decent FDM printer, which is honestly great news for those who aren’t in their ecosystem.

What can you build?

Their launch kits include things like:

• A forklift that actually lifts

• A football bot that drives and kicks

• A duck that waddles (because why not?)

They’re also opening up their design platform, so if you’ve got ideas, you can create your own bots and share them with the world.

What this means for hobbyists and makers

This is a solid step forward for combining play, learning, and making. It’s one thing to print a static model—but making that model move? That’s a whole different level of fun. Especially for kids or curious adults who want to get into tinkering without getting overwhelmed.

If you’re already 3D printing for tabletop games or DIY projects, this could be a cool new rabbit hole to explore.

Final Thoughts

CyberBrick kits start around £25 (roughly $30) and will ship later this year. You can check out the Kickstarter if you’re interested, but even if you’re not buying one, it’s worth keeping an eye on. This might just be the start of something big in hobby 3D printing.
