So their is a lot of buzz around Bambu Lab with their soon to be released firmware for their 3D printers ( X1C for now, the rest later)
where they're starting down the path of closing their echo system and exerting more control of what the printer's owner can or can't
do with the machine they paid for. I myself own an X1C but made sure it couldn't update it's firmware using a temporary router and
loading programs via SD cards.
All one has to do is a search on YouTube to see what's going on. And all under the guise of safety and security of the end consumer.
(Yeah where have I heard that one before.) Hilariously I was looking into building a Voron to deal with future tariffs imposed in the
US. Now it seems like I will be building one because I refuse to put up with being fenced in by obvious cash grabs and money funnels.
( You will own nothing and be happy ) Oh yeah, hold my caliper image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/devil.png
It's a shame, I really do like my X1C and have recommended them in the past to those not interested in building and tuning
a 3D printer. Yes I was one of them as well. That said If Bambu Lab wants to continue this course then they can go the way of
the Do-Do. So I guess it's either Prusa or Voron for the masses.
If one would like a Louise Rossman take on it enjoy the below
