Chinese Version vs Global Version — what's different?

Both versions are the same printer hardware. The difference is which regional ecosystem the unit is set up for:

• Cloud & app: The Global version connects to Bambu Lab's international cloud (AWS-hosted) through the Bambu Handy app with email/password sign-in. The Chinese version connects to Bambu's Mainland China cloud through the China app and needs a Chinese phone number to activate.
• MakerWorld: Global MakerWorld and Chinese MakerWorld are separate platforms with different model libraries — the Chinese version is set up around the Chinese MakerWorld site.
• Warranty & support: The Chinese version is intended for use and warranty support within Mainland China. The Global version is covered through Bambu Lab's international support network, including this region.
• Language: Both versions support multiple interface languages — this is a software setting, not a hardware restriction.
• Power: Bed heater wattage is matched to mains voltage. The Chinese version runs on 220–240V, the same higher-wattage class used here, so power output is the same as the Global version sold in this store.
• Certification: The Chinese version carries CCC certification; the Global version carries CE/FCC/UKCA certification as applicable.

Camera, AI monitoring, WiFi and Bluetooth hardware are identical between the two versions — there is no functional difference there.
