You’re mistaken. Their cloud service is the default, but can be turned off. Naturally you lose all the cloud features, including use of the mobile app.

Comment on Should I get a b*mbulab printer? + More newbie questions

Wasn’t bambulab the one that forces you to upload all of your 3d files to their online server before you can print them? And when people tried to go back to directly printing files, the company took measures to make this impossible?
Because that’s a big big red flag.
Or am I mixing up companies here?

Wasn’t that also dependent on firmware? That if you deliberately don’t upgrade the firmware, you can keep the local mode.

no. that’s if you want to run custom firmware. to do so you can sign a waiver and they push the last rootable version to you.
otherwise if you want lan only, that’s a toggle box.

creality does that too but its not an insurmountable thing. if bambulab’s software allows it, just export directly to gcode and try it that way, unless there is no othernroute into the machine.

Nope your not mistaken. that is bambu indeed. After a ton of backlash they gave some breadcrumbs to allow a Dev mode. But I would stay away from them.
