Because of course it now does. Welcome to Bambu.
directive0@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago Its hard not to be smug as a lowly ender 3 peasant to have everything I was worried about Bambu doing slowly coming true.
I mean… I wish my printer worked as well as all my Bambu friends, but this helps a little… this helps…
There are tons of better printers now that give you results similar to bbl without their bullshit, you don’t need to suffer (unlessyou want to).
Can you recommend one comparable to the H2C? I would love one with 7 hot swappable hotends, intelligent filament switching, inductive heating, and a 40W laser module.
Prusa go brrrrr
I may need to manually level my bed every time I print, but I never see ads, and have zero privacy holes in my printer.
And it’s gonna stay that way. And when it eventually dies, it’s time to harvest the corpse and build a voron printer.

Just of note, many other brands are now very competitive with Bambu, even beating it in value in some cases! For example, Qidi has some very good value enclosed printers like the Q1 Pro and the newer Q2, Elegoo’s Centauri Carbon is exceptionally good for the price, the Snapmaker U1 undercuts Bambu’s H2 series by a lot while being compatible with OrcaSlicer OOTB, and of course you have Prusa being cool as always, letting users upgrade from the MK4S+ to the Core One with a kit, which can later be upgraded again to a tool changer with the upcoming INDX.
Creality’s new Klitek printers are imminent. Multiple tool heads, push pull feed for TPU.
Bambu upped the game but the competition is coming back better.
Push pull TPU feed + Siraya tech glass fiber TPU is going to allow truly strong anisotropic prints.
I replaced 2 ender 3s with a bambu a1 after confirming I can just use SD cards to print…
I regret not doing it sooner. Granted I wouldnt choose Bambu today. Enders are nice but so damn slow.
I was torn between getting Bambu vs Prusa when upgrading from my old printer, but with the spyware, open source threats, and now this I think I chose well.
The choice has been obvious for a long time, even back when my Prusa Mk3s+ was the cutting edge Prusa printer.
Bought a Mk3s used for $200 recently. Still fucks hard, just more slowly than the newer ones. No regrats.
Not wanting to defend bambu, I’m hardly on their side! but this integration was announced about a year ago on v2.2, this isn’t new, nor is it general advertising, just a collaboration they started on a year ago.
Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago Oh wow, this went completely under my radar (how didn’t anyone brought it up in any of the videos recently made about how shitty Bambu is?). Seems like at least a few people didn’t know though, so I’m just leaving it here. :)
Thanks for this! Will check this out.
Wait until they put the ads on the model…
Orcaslicer luckily works
They are all versions of Slic3R.
Does it work outside LAN Only mode?
What I would like was something like:
From LAN and any damn slicer of my choosing, send prints directly to printer. Read printer and ams state.
From bambulab handy, slicer, etc, the same as above.
I don’t see why these should be mutually exclusive options.
I use mine on LAN only (I also blocked its internet access from my router just in case). So wouldn’t know.
And yes I totally agree
It does work. Though my bambu printer is on an older firmware because it’s the only way to use my DIY AMS
It works fine. I haven’t updated firmware on the printer for quite a while though. Not sure what happens with updated machines. You still need the bambu network plugin though.
It’s so stupid everyone knew this would happen but so many of us bought in anyhow… Including myself.
What did Bambu users expect when they paid a price that was too good to be true? Of course they are the product.
That’s been there for at least a year, from my recollection.
Nothing really new actually, this plugin has been there for some time.
I remember back in the late 90s software did this. has been happening for decades.
that said, Pihole or a DNS that blocks advertisers should resolve this, right?
Pihole and dns can only block ads that come from a separate ad network. It’s unlikely that Bambu is using an ad network for the ads inside their slicer. That’s also why Pihole does nothing for youtube ads.
That’s some type of assist for settings. It’s not an ad and you don’t have to click it and it doesn’t pop up.
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago Is there some FOSS replacement for the bambu soft?
Orcaslicer
Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago Thanks!
What part does it do? Slicer I guess 😁, but what about the printer itself, does it need a new firmware?
Now I love my Prusas even more…
know your print will work
Are 3D-printers any better there?
