Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!
YouTube video by Louis Rossmann Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!

This just popped up on YT feed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIya... for anyone else looking for a summary.

It’s a real shame about Bambu. They do appear beginner friendly and cheap.

I was also looking at the Creality ones. Is there anything these don’t have that Bambu do?

The full enclosure is a benefit imo. (Curious cats around the house)

Well this is something I am not a fan off, even if they reverted these updates there is a lack of trust and nothing saying they wouldn’t attempt something like this again.

I have too many subscriptions as it is!

I'm seeing a lot of negativity around Bambu Labs at the moment.

Could anyone summarise the issue?

I am in the market for a affordable, beginner friendly (but decent) 3D printer, and was about buy a P1S, but this negativity is putting me off. Still worth it or should I consider an alternative?

Is this a legit post? Looks and sounds way too scammy!

Lots of lessons learned from filming the last event, so we can improve how we record the next one.
Feel free to give us your ideas too!
