It's a nice build. It's made entirely out of plastic, but it feels solid. It charges over USB-C. The port is right here on the right side, and behind it this silicone gasket. On the left side, we have this latch to release the door for the label compartment. This label compartment is small. This roll here contains 230 labels. It's a lot smaller than what I'm used to.Watch N

I have B1 Pro and I think the practical benefits are limited to being able to print in red. The grayscale photo printing is a gimmick as you need 3-4 tries to get the slider and the density combination right, that is if you also don't get streaking. On the other hand the price difference is that of a pack of labels.Read thread M
Pros of the NIIMBOT B1 include its ease of use, thanks to the direct thermal printing and Bluetooth connectivity, the powerful and versatile app, the portability and long battery life, and the wide variety of durable label styles available. On the downside, it’s important to note that the printer isn’t compatible with iPads, and PC users will need to download drivers from the official NIIMBOT website to connect via USB, which may be a minor inconvenience for some.Watch G
Just curious if you have had any issues with charging your B1. I have tried two of these units and on both, the red charging light will not come on. I have tried 6 cables on two different computers as well as on an Apple 12W charging block with no success.Watch M
On the downside, it’s important to remember that this is a case only — the label maker and accessories are not included, so you’ll need to have your own NIIMBOT B21 or B1 device. Also, while the case is well-made, some users might prefer additional padding for extreme travel conditions or rough handling.Watch I Instagram Instagram post

La impresora NIIMBOT B1 a un mes de uso acá en argentina se blokea y te sale el msj que. No está permitido en uso en esta región y que se contacte con el vendedor.
