I'm so happy Bambu is getting what's coming to them after screwing us so badly <3

What did they do?

https://hackaday.com/2025/01/17/new-bambu-lab-firmware-updat... has a summary that caught me up. I feel like it must be missing some of the story though.

The A1 mini was my first printer and it just works. Is there another brand that is idiot proof?

Not yet, but other brands are stepping up their quality. I just bought a Creality K2 Plus, and it's almost on par with my X1C (and has some features I prefer, like the CFS, their version of the AMS)

I've been using a Prusa Mk2 for years no with no real issues. Doesn't have the bells and whistles but it does, like, consistently work.

Eventually I'll get a used FormLabs setup. Once I have a shop space set up.

They used a plugin to communicate print jobs (and other integrations), so that third party software could be used pretty seamlessly. Now they're moving to a new authentication model, and will be requiring users to send files to a separate print app. (Bambu Connect) It adds friction to the process, especially for those who were looking to run print jobs at scale, using "print farm" software or building their own solutions.
