I got tired of waiting for that and was going to buy the Qidi X-Smart-3, but I waited just a couple of months too long and had to settle for a an A1 Mini combo instead, and no it’s not connected to the cloud.
I do have to admit, I do like the AMS lite because it allows me to use every last gram of filament off of a spool and then auto switch to a new spool. But I did have issues with their software/firmware in the beginning. It damaged both of the plates I had within the first month. I had to wait for the next firmware update for the fix.

In case you aren’t aware, A1 Mini can also catch on fire, see:
Bambu Lab A1 NTC thermistor fire and meltdown hazard
Please keep that in mind and take necessary precautions if needed.

I’m in the US and on 120V power. Which only provides a quarter of the power vs the 240V mains used in Europe, to the heat bed making it far less likely to happen. Plus, I use a surge protector for it. Nor do I run overnight prints because I don’t trust ANY 3D printer. And that includes my Prusa. I’m no Bambu fanboi, but one reported case of a mini catching fire is statistically irrelevant.
That said, there is an inherently greater risk of fire with certain types of hobbies. And 3D printing is one of them.

I’m not a fanboi of any brand too, but just a FYI, it has been multiple reports, instead of an isolated case.
Glad to hear you are well aware of overall risks, as that might not be the case for newcomers that might read these posts, so I prefer to at least let them know of it. And as always, letś have fun at it
