As per a recent Bambu Lab blog post, its FDM printers in the X1 series will soon receive a firmware update that adds mandatory authentication for certain operations, starting with the firmware upda…
Legit didn’t know anything about bambu except their printers go brr faster and you can do the thing with printing from different spools / colors / materials? And that I could possibly afford one at some point in the future.
One of my few non-crashout “plans” is to do something productive and useful and local which would involve 3d printers, but this news is an absolute dealbreaker on using their stuff obviously.
Thanks for the reminder of who the better 3d printer companies still are and why.
This is where proprietary firmware always leads. Before Bambu, the home/hobbyist printer space was one of the few categories of technology free from it.
Yeah, I used to pay heaps of attention to it then my hah, material conditions, changed and so it is not something I have much time to pay attention to at the moment.
I suppose I like to think I would have figured it out before making a purchase since that’s a ways off still. And besides the “new and actually worthy of being released as a distinct product” ender is available fairly cheaply so I would start there anyway. I was just wooed by how the bambu looked like a good balance of cost vs time/productivity if I proceeded with my weird plan to start a co-op biz.
