  Friends don’t let friends buy proprietary cloud locked printers.

    Proprietary cloud locked anything, really.

  I really want a X1-C. A colleague has one and loves it. But I can’t deal with closed source and mandatory network.

    I want a p1. but the nature of proprietary hardware in general and now stories like this have me rethinking it. I'm tired of having to constantly fuck with my ender 5 pro.

    I have a Creality K1, I am able to load files to it with a thumb drive. There is a really terrible app for it, and it can be hooked up to wifi, but… I haven’t done any of that. I slice the model, save to a USB stick, and plug the USB into the printer.

  I’m half tempted to pin this post as the poster child for the brand.

  Ooooph. Owning both a modded to the nines Ender 3 v2 and a vCore 3.1, there’s a part of me that wants to add the simplicyt and MMU functionality of the X1C to the mix at some point…but this is uhhhhhhh scary. No thank you lol!!

  Nothing a Wi-Fi controlled power outlet can’t fix. If the printer is turned off it can’t suddenly start printing.

    OK, but the fact that this is a thing that can happen should be making everyone think twice about buying from these manufacturers.

      It isn’t GOOD. But if you aren’t leaving your printer running 24/7 (which you shouldn’t, if only for power reasons), it isn’t a massive issue in practice so long as the conveniences outweigh the risks.

      I WOULD be concerned with the window between a print finishing and waking up though.

      I bought from them knowing about the cloud service. These printers are fine for one off purchases, but I would never buy one if I were to set up a print farm. The parts are all reasonably priced, just don’t know how long that will last or they may discontinue the model and stop selling parts for it.

  Really? “nightmare fuel”?

  Some people have a really low bar for considering something a nightmare.

    There may have been a nonzero chance of it starting a fire, since the article describes some printers as “tearing themselves apart”, which could conceivably have included wiring damage or hot things landing outside the printer on flammable material.

    Also, since it seems to have been printing copies of previous prints, um, well . . . some people do print sex toys. I can see how explaining that one to your eight-year-old or your mother-in-law, if they find it first, could be considered a nightmare.
