Pausing a print to add inserts

Yes, this is one of the many shortcomings of the Bambu firmware that one only encounters when exploring the more advanced printing features.

It’s clear that Bambu is pretty much done with any significant improvements to the display interface for the X1 and P1. This ties directly into the controversy over Bambu blocking access to Panda Touch, which at the very least would allow for third-party extensions to compensate for their feature gaps. Nobody expects a device of this class to have everything, but Bambu is now openly blocking the community from enhancing the product through their recent actions.

Truth be told, this is a real bone of contention for many of us, because the maker community generally holds the view that if a platform lacks a feature, that’s an opportunity for creative innovation. However, Bambu Lab’s recent stance seems clear: “If we didn’t think of it, you don’t need it—and we won’t allow it.” That’s a far cry from when they first introduced the P1P and actively encouraged users to mod their cases by providing template designs.

It’s also a big reason why so many makers feel this has become an act of betrayal bordering on an openly hostile relationship, with the user community portrayed as the bad guys simply for not being satisfied with their supposed genius.
