…or a tool that will tell you what you can’t print or materials you’re not allowed to use
… and then tell you that you can’t make it print better on your own … or faster on your own… but sell you a subscription to do the same thing.

What does any of that have to do with Bambu?

It’s the kind of enshittification Bambu is moving towards. I kind of expect them to do something like this in the near future, only allowing the “correct” filament and hiding the full potential of “your” machine behind subscriptions nust like car manufacturers.

Honestly, I don’t see it happening. Granted, I’d be spared that outcome anyway, I run custom firmware on my X1. But while they’re a bit of a pain about some things, I don’t see them taking steps like that. They’re more of a Chinese pain (don’t share the source code, don’t follow the standards) than an American pain (money at every turn, subscriptions, vendor lockouts, etc).
