Bambu Labs make indisputably excellent printers. However, that excellence comes at the cost of freedom. After a firmware release earlier this year, Bambu printers could only work with Bambu’s…
Does bambu labs core customer demographic really give a shit about the openness of their printers though? It seems pretty obvious they’re not targeting the 3D printer enthusiast but rather makers that just want a tool that works without any fuss.
Eh they have made 3d printing a hobby where tinkering with the 3d printer is the hobby. I’ll wait till they do the bad thing everyone says they well do.

That is exactly why I bought an A1 Mini when it came out after tinkering with an Ender 3 clone for years.
My only concern now, that I didn’t think about when I bought it, is what happens when they stop supporting it?
You will buy a new one sheep.

Kind of the same for me. My hobby became a business and I need to ensure that it will survive whatever enshitification they do.
Currently have 1 printer X1 carbon, and I will get a competing product next year.
