That helpful link shows just the A1? I have an a1 mini from 2024 I hope I don’t get this issue? Now that I know more about 3d printing I’ll be er give my money to bambu again. Literally cancer to open source, glad I’ve never connected my printer to WAN and always have it in LAN mode.
Stay safe folks

I’m also with an offline mini. I’m still happy with it, it does what I need it to do, but I’ll likely go with Prusa if it ever needs replacing.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 weeks ago I’ve really watched Bambu go from darling of the 3d printer community, to “yeah there’s some issues but the results are just so good I still recommend them” to “Bambu is literally Satan”

It helps that other brands have become much more competitive in terms of feature set, pricing, and customer support! Perhaps they were ahead of the game in the past, but brands like Prusa, Qidi, Elegoo, Snapmaker, etc. are leapfrogging Bambu nowadays!

What’s amazing is it was fast. Like I was playing with my mk3s when they where first a thing, and now I’m thinking of retiring it for a core xy and bamboo has done the entire story arc.

Build a Voron!

Dig through my comment history and you’ll see pros and cons of choosing to do so. If you like building and modding it’s hard to beat. The build is pretty long, but you’ll learn a lot.

Nah, opinions of them have been sliding for a while. The software licensing stuff is just a topic that attracts certain vultures, making coverage suddenly explode.

Bambu used to only remotely disable your printer if you didn’t connect it to their servers. Then they sent a legal team to harass you if you tried to circumvent this restriction.
Now they remotely burn your house down.

Dang that was the first 3d printer company that had me intrigued… Hopefully this is making hay is a short lived field, but it’s not great publicity

Sorry if I’m the bearer of bad news, but this is somehow not the thing Bambu is doing that is their biggest issue with consumer trust right now.
There are probably plenty of posts here on Lemmy about the issues with the AGPL, potential violations, and sending sketchy legal threats to hobbyists trying to let people use their printers without going through Bambu servers; it is likely worth looking around for the latest on that debacle
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
They’ve also threatened hobbyists trying to let use people use their printers explicitly with using Bambu servers!

Well that’s awfully nice of them.

Steve is the GOAT. They’ve done this in the past for GPUs that melted/caught fire at the power connection port. They also replaced someone’s PC that was lost in an unrelated house fire.

Gamers Nexus is great content.
They constantly seem to do the right thing. Like honest people wanting to report honest news, findings and research in depth to people transparently.Like Louis Rossmann, tho I prefer Steve & GN

Finally got around to checking mine this morning, luckily I don’t have the component
Statick@feddit.online 4 weeks ago
Are there instructions on what to check? I have an X1C from May 2023. Would that be affected?
turbowafflz@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I think it only affects the A1. On the a1, board 2 is the safe one. The circular black thermistor on the left side is the component that overheats

I’m trying SO hard not to be smug, but I sense a sort of vindication from staying FAR away from these (admittedly initially impressive) machines when I heard how locked down, cloud-connected, and appliance-like they were.
