    I was torn between getting Bambu vs Prusa when upgrading from my old printer, but with the potential for spyware, OrcaSlicer-bambulab threats, and now this I think I chose well.

      The choice has been obvious for a long time, even back when my Prusa Mk3s+ was the latest Prusa printer.

        Bought a Mk3s used for $200 recently. Still fucks hard, just more slowly than the newer ones. No regrats.

          Mine hasn’t been the most reliable tbh, but it could be my fault. I think my next printer will be the Prusa XL with at least 2 toolheads, or whatever the equivalent is when I finally am ready to drop that dough. I think I’ll also pay extra for them to build it because, as much fun as it was to build my Mk3s+, I do wonder if some of my performance issues are my fault due to the assembly…

    Its hard not to be smug as a lowly ender 3 peasant to have everything I was worried about Bambu doing slowly coming true.

    I mean… I wish my printer worked as well as all my Bambu friends, but this helps a little… this helps…

      I replaced 2 ender 3s with a bambu a1 after confirming I can just use SD cards to print… I don’t deal with whatever is going on.

      I regret not doing it sooner. Granted I wouldnt choose Bambu today. Enders are nice but so damn slow.

      I may need to manually level my bed every time I print, but I never see ads, and have zero privacy holes in my printer.

      And it’s gonna stay that way. And when it eventually dies, it’s time to harvest the corpse and build a voron printer.

    What did Bambu users expect when they paid a price that was too good to be true? Of course they are the product.

    Not wanting to defend bambu, I’m hardly on their side! but this integration was announced about a year ago on v2.2, this isn’t new, nor is it general advertising, just a collaboration they started on a year ago.

      Oh wow, this went completely under my radar (how didn’t anyone brought it up in any of the videos recently made about how shitty Bambu is?). Seems like at least a few people didn’t know though, so I’m just leaving it here. :)

    That’s some type of assist for settings. It’s not an ad and you don’t have to click it and it doesn’t pop up.
