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.

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

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

Same here. Looks like I’ll be going the Prusa route.

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.

Prusa ftw. Love my mk4s

Wow, fuck Bambu. I have several printers and I will never ever use them.
