I'm raffling a 3D printer 🖨️
Alright, let me just say it up front: I'm raffling a brand-new Bambu Lab H2C AMS Combo. A complete, fully-loaded, multi-color printer — the same machine I reach for when I need to make a bracket, a jig, or some weird one-off part for a project on the channel. It's about a $2,400 setup, and it's going to one of you.
If you've been around here a while, you know I'm not some huge company. I'm a dude in a garage who films himself working on old Minis and tries to explain it well enough that you can go do it yourself. That's the whole thing. Classic Mini DIY has always been about taking something that looks intimidating; a gearbox, a wiring loom, a custom part; and showing that a regular person with the right tools and a bit of patience can actually pull it off.
3D printing has become a huge part of that for me. Half the fixtures and adapters you see me use started as a sketch in Fusion and came off a printer a few hours later. It genuinely changed how I build things. And I remember exactly what it felt like to want a machine like this and not be able to justify the cost. So this is me putting a serious one into the hands of someone in this community who'll actually put it to work.
Let me also be straight with you.
This is a paid raffle. Tickets are $5. I'm not going to dress it up as pure charity, running this channel is a one-man operation, and things like this help me keep making videos, fund project cars, and pay for the next round of stuff I give away. But I kept the ticket price low on purpose. Five bucks. Anyone who wants a shot can take one without thinking too hard about it.
And a few things to put your mind at ease, because I know online giveaways can feel sketchy:
- It's a real printer. Brand new, in the box, shipped to your door. Not a gift card, not a "we'll see."
- I'm not picking the winner. The whole thing runs through Raffall, a third-party platform that handles the entries and pulls the winner at random. I couldn't rig it for my buddy if I tried.
- No pressure on the bundles. There are options to grab extra entries for better odds, but a single $5 ticket is a perfectly good way to play. Buy what feels right and nothing more.
That's the pitch. If you've got a project that's been waiting on a printer like this; or you just want to jump into the deep end of 3D printing, grab a ticket and let's see where it lands.
How to enter: Pick your tickets on Raffall, check out, and you're in. Winner drawn live on July 15th. 18+, open to entrants in eligible regions (which is almost worldwide unless your country/region explicitly restricts raffles).
Thanks for being here — genuinely. None of this works without you all.
