Comment on Choosing my first printer is driving me mad.

I would never recommend bambu products or to install any bambu software. One of our company employees installed bambu studio (for personal needs) and it started immediately to send data to 7 ip addresses which all were linked to malware. Buy Prusa if you want to own your device actually.

There are good reasons to dislike Bambu, but that’s just not true. Looking at a Wireshark trace, Bambu Studio connects to three domains: e.bambulab.com (version check), api.bambulab.com (download updated slicer settings and translated error messages), and mqtt.bambulab.com. The last one I can’t tell exactly what it’s doing, since only the HTTP stuff got decrypted in the proxy.

Maybe the employee downloaded the installer from a sketchy russian hosting site?

Agreed 100%. Prusa seems to make very high quality products while maintaining great business ethics and actually contributing to the community instead of trying to destroy it. Honestly I’m a little worried they won’t be able to compete with Bambu much longer. Everyone I see with a 3D printer is using them these days, including businesses.

I was just explaining why he keeps getting recommended Bambu when he tells people he doesn’t want to invest a bunch of time in it. They are much easier to use.

  Prussa had the chance bit they never really innovated kept 3d printing as a tech hobby. Bambu disrupted the industry and made it easy and accessible to people who wanted to print and not tinker with the printers.
  People who want to tonner hate bambu because they opened the hobby up to people who just want to print. Which is fine and both can exist just like cars.

    Excuse me but that’s a whole lot of horseshit.
    
    People don’t like Bambu because they’re essentially the iphones of printers. Pioneers of enshittification. Trailblazing the way to anticonsumerism for other brands to follow.
