Developer re-enables 3D printer features that Bambu Lab disabled, firm promptly threatens legal action — OrcaSlicer-BambuLab project now shuttered

Thats fair. I have never used one of their printers. But I have seen prints from them and they are impressive considering the people showing them to me had just started printing and did nothing to dial in anything.

according to every cunt on YouTube who got paid to review one. Props to Bambu for understanding how to market bullshit to 3D printer customers.

Speaking from over a dedcade of 3D printing experience, this is kind of a ridiculous point.

Bambu's printers are easier to set up out of the box than most other brands, tend to have less ongoing troubleshooting, has a more clean and easily accessible mobile app, and the print quality is also just better in some instances. Plus, their cost is incredible.

My first 3D printer was an easy to set up out of the box, no tinkering required, and it had horrible print quality, could only use one color at a time, and the bed adhesion was awful. I upgraded to a Creality printer, and it promptly permanently scratched the glass bed, and refused to ever level properly even with the addition of an auto-leveling module made by Creality themselves. (then made a squeaking noise I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to solve)

I got an A1 Mini, and while it has had its problems with various different troubleshooting steps I've had to do, most of the troubleshooting was either costless, covered under warranty, or cheap relative to the cost of replacement parts for a similar fix on other printers. The print quality is flawless, it's cheap, it can switch colors, it supports basically every material of filament easily with no tinkering, the nozzle is incredibly easy to switch, and the bed adhesion is way better.

That's not to say other brands don't have better offerings now, but I think it's kind of ridiculous to claim Bambu's printers are bad. They're cheap, reliable, easily accessible to newbies, and produce good quality prints at the same time.

If people at least in the diy community would stop recommending them it would be a win in my eyes.

Depends on application. In my lab, these printers quickly pay for themselves. Scientific plastic is ridiculously expensive.

Dunno about cc2 (also I believe that it's at least 20%-30% cheaper then x2d without ams), but CC had a few software problems that they were very slow to fix. Nozzle change procedure isn't great, usb cable of the first few revisions were shitty. Current CC1 machines are good.

They aren't opensource, like at all, there is opencentauri project that only recently started to ship klipper for cc (first one).

Upd: apparently CC2 is fully open

I mean you're really hard to understand. I can't figure out if you're a kid, mentally handicapped, a poor English speaker, or a cat on a touchscreen.
