You mean the most popular brand of all aka Bambu? I can‘t recommend them even if they don‘t snitch at you right away. The ecosystem they‘re setting up is bad for consumers as is.
I am planning on buying my first 3d printer this summer. My research so far has pointed me towards bambu labs p2s. I have seen nothing like this comment before.
What about Bambu Labs makes it bad for consumers? And what would you recommend as an alternative? I like that it is very beginner friendly and in an enclosed system so that my kids cannot mess with it as easily. Also the ams pro 2 seems like it is quite far ahead of its competition?
My experience with bambulab is limited to older generation models: a1, x1, p1 dunno if it still applies.
It literally snitches everything you print, requires online (even in lan mode it sometimes stops and won’t work untill it phoned home then it will work again).
Almost any modern printer is extremely beginner friendly. Recently I’ve gotten 4 Elegoo Centauri Carbons 1, and they offer essentially the same experience as bbl printers (I have no idea abut phone app - never used one), they are very simple to setup, require little knowledge to operate and maintain spare parts are available, printed for about 300 hours on each one without any problems and just a single failed print. But my experience might be warped due to years of accumulated knowledge about both printers and slicers and is limiting due not printing pla at all.
Thanks! I guess I have to look into other alternatives then. I liked the ams from bambu because it acts as a dryer and kan keep a low atmospheric moisture. I will propably not be printing 24/7 but more in bursts. Would you just take the filament out of the printer between prints in such a case?
I have a big food container with heated bed for reptiles which heats up to 60 degrees celsius, it takes 4 x 1 kilogram spools or 2 x 3 kilogram spools, one 12 volt cooler and boxes with silikagel with indicators. All in all it took me less then $50 and silicagel can be reused after heating in the oven.
Firstly, never take legal advice from youtube or even here. And it’s very unlikely you would ever be caught doing it as long as you don’t sell the parts. Nor should you ever reverse engineer life threat level parts. Because you ain’t that smart or good. And if you are that smart, you know better than to do so.
Apparently the legality stuff is iffy according to YT comments and the tips in the video should not be construed as legal advice.
Meh, f*ck’em :)
Nobody’s going to know what you’re printing at home unless you’re using one of those spyware filled, cloud connected printers.

That’s why it gets the “can’t see the internet” VLAN.
Luckily, there are other companies making (mostly) “just works” printers with varying levels of openness
