Comment on Prusa or Bambu?

One major con for Bambu is that the firmware is not open source (at least, last I checked). This puts you in a walled garden of sorts. It also can make you vulnerable, for example earlier this year a bug caused printers connected to Bambu’s cloud to start prints that weren’t request. You can imagine how bad that is.
This being said, I plan on my next printer upgrade being to a Bambu. I’ve gotten tired of the calibration game and Bambu does that well.

Mk4 is amazing. Calibration is annoying. They definitely did an amazing job there. Bambu’s plate is never flat… It’s a manufacturing / design issue. They work around it in software. I can’t imagine the other silliness in the printer if they can’t even make a flat bed.
