    I’ve been holding off on Bambu mostly because i don’t want my data being sent to Chinese cloud servers.

    Guess I was right.

    Repair advocate Louis Rossmann, noting Bambu’s altered original blog post, uploaded a video soon after, “Bambu’s Gaslighting Masterclass: Denying their own documented restrictions.” Rossmann also took aim at Bambu’s Terms of Use, suggesting that the company was asking buyers to trust that Bambu wouldn’t enact restrictive policies they otherwise wrote into their user agreements.

    Sounds a lot like HP’s approach with “security features” to limit cheap ink.

    I was planning to get a bamboo, was saving up for it. Money will go to a resin printer from someone else now.

      I still wouldn’t go resin. Believe me it isn’t worth it unless 80% of your use case is miniatures.

        Minis are probably more than 80% of my use case

            Resin printer at home and Filament printer at work, and I’d agree. I get great detail and very little visible layering on the minis I print at home, but pretty much anything else, I’d rather use the filament.

          You shouldn’t even consider an FDM printer in that case, let alone one from Bambu.

            The fdm isn’t for minis, I already have two and I was looking at something that could do multiple filaments. I mostly use them for printing scenery and random stuff for other people. It’s nice to have an fdm for quick and dirty stuff.

      They used to have a lan only mode. Now the lan only mode requires authorization from Bambu before you are allowed to print. They also said that to ensure security, they will eventually disable printing if you don’t upgrade to this firmware.

      It’s a big deal.

        Not in the loop, but based on what you wrote, it sounds like a bad idea. Like needing to ask for permission to print. Wtf.

          Your source is… The company itself!?

          Did you hear? Tobacco companies say their products don’t cause cancer, and are an excellent stress-reliever!

          A blog post is not a terms of service agreement. You are in for a world of hurt if you continue to believe that what a company says and what is written in the terms are equal. This ain’t just about Bambu and is an extremely common source of confusion, which is the point.

          Read your own link.

          "Critical Opera that require authorization

          Initiating a print job (via LAN or cloud mode)."

          The terms of service say they will disable your printer if you don’t upgrade the firmware. (The certificate that was recently hacked from the old firmware has an expiration date.)
