I just want to make clear, im not against printers which are accessible, i think i myself am not long enough in the Hobby to call myself an expert of any kind.

I would just wish that it would be news worthy if you need to use a specific slicer to make full use of your printer or some clarification that all your prints will be send to the cloud before they reach your printer.

Im much less a 3D-Printing-Purist then a privacy advocate. I wish that this type of behavior by manufacturers will be outcalled - nevermind if it is a 3D-Printer, your Dishwasher or any other “Smart Device”.
