That’s an LLM generated website if I’ve ever seen one the explanation for that is here https://youtu.be/II2QF9JwtLc basically louis found that not using AI to design his website drastically reduced the hits he would get from google.

Wait, why would the method in which the HTML that Google indexes was generated matter? (I get that web vitals might be taken into account, but you don't need a slop generator to make a static page)

google search evaluates based on their content and how they look. apparently, according to louis, AI generated websites get a higher score.

This looks to be a clone of the prior state of the repository that caused all the Bambu drama earlier this week. I did a ton of research because I didn't understand what people wanted here, and this is what's going on: Right now, Bambu have adjusted their system into two modalities: * "default" or "Cloud" mode, where you get an app, remote monitoring, but you have to use Bambu Studio or Bambu Connect to send prints.…

> where the device displays a token and you put it into your app. This sounds really unpleasant to use. Maybe users just want a better UX for the local mode?

It's more of an API key that whatever client or code you're using needs.

> clients can send prints locally Using an AGPL violating mystery meat binary plugin that you run on your host, which potentially compromises any airgap you put around your printer (it attempts to connect to bambu servers, or did last time I checked it) and potentially your entire host.

No, the binaries aren’t necessary in LAN + Developer mode.

Correct - you can send prints over MQTT

> They’re the only competent and reliable printer that isn’t a project car in itself Prusa.

Yeah I’ve had one, still do, it never gets used because it’s a project car. Compared with one button press and coming back to a print in a few hours, it’s a constant nightmare of debugging, print issues, and manually changing filaments that aren’t stored in an airtight container and get wet. It’s not even competition, as much as I would like to support open source tools the Prusa stuff is an order of magnitude more e…

I've done zero debugging on my Prusa and it's been pretty much fire and forget. I had one spaghetti print failure in years on it, and it was my own fault for disabling supports and the print falling over :)

Automatic filament changes would be nice for sure, I look forward to upgrading to one of their new INDX models.

I think people like having an option for remote over the network communication. The cloud is not technically required for that. Bambu made it required for no good reason.

Doesn’t it have a lan mode?

Yes, and aside from being able to send and monitor your prints from their mobile app (and there are third party implementation of a similar app), you really don't lose much by using LAN Mode, especially if you pair it with Tailscale.

That’s a vibe coded AI slop website if I’ve ever seen one. It even has a careers page that they didn’t try to edit out. There’s basically no information there. Is this just a copy of the other GitHub repo that was removed and someone is trying to rebrand it as their own? Or did they do some different work?

That doesn't excuse the fake careers page

Mine is now offline. But when it was online, I never checked the app for failed prints. If the print has failed, I'll find out when I'm near enough to it to do something about it. When offline, it amused me when there was a "hairball" and the printer detected it advising "AI Detecting Print Error". At what level does an image analysis algorithm become "AI"?

I'm curious what concise phrase you'd display to convey the same information to that audience. "Computer Vision Model and Nozzle Telemetry Analysis Detect Print Error"?

"Print Error Detected"?

Thanks for the cluestick!

Can you read the filaments installed in the printer over MQTT too?

I laughed pretty hard at this, and you're right. Problem solved.
