Roadmap, anywhere to be found?

Is there a roadmap for printers, updates, MakerWorld etc to be found somewhere? With A1 “standard” on the brink of release I see a large amount of people who just bought the A1 mini complaining, feels like the whole P1P/P1S thing all over again. Is there any place you can find a roadmap with some estimated dates and plans for releases and updates to prevent these kinds of stuff?

Nope, and it’s unreasonable to expect Bambu (or other companies) to make public their future development plans. I refer you to Osborne effect - Wikipedia

What you should expect is that Bambu will be developing new products and will announce them when they feel appropriate. One thing I do appreciate is that Bambu has been feeding improvements back into older printers, such as the motor noise reduction first shown in the A1 Mini,

I wouldn’t really call it unreasonable since its pretty much the standard for businesses today. A lot of companies even make complete websites to display this, like Microsoft for example. If you were around when the P1S was released, or hang around now when A1 is being released, you will notice that its pretty much to a companies advantage to have these things available.

Think Bambu Lab rather have a happy customer waiting a week and buys a more expensive printer with a higher profit margin compared to buying a cheaper printer and being dissatisfied a week later when the updated version is released.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription service - not comparable.

Then feel free to google whatever you feel is comparable + roadmap instead.

The point of a road map is to summarize these things, so you don’t have to spend 8h a day going through those things to get the same result. Also I don’t really think its to anyone’s advantage keeping customer support busy by asking the same question over and over again.

And what is there to learn? Learn to not buy printers from BL because there is a high chance a better printer for a better price will be released just around the corner? Doesn’t sound like that would be to anyone’s advantage either tbh.
