Speculation about new printer announcements

[drakko]

They seem to have addressed this part, at least according to what I’ve found on the website

bugfixes until 2027 (one year more than before)
security patching until 2029 (2 years more)…
At some point in time, if BL will stop patching and updating the firmware, I may decide to go with X1Plus, if the community keeps the firmware alive and updated.

(later edit)

Just went through the BL T&Cs again, as I’ve remembered they had a specific section covering the software (firmware) and security updates and this is what it’s said:

7.2 Bambu Lab is committed to ensure a long lifetime of our products, by releasing regular software updates containing bugfixes, new features and security updates.
Our promise includes a guaranteed five-year provision of software updates (since the launch of the product), including crucial bug fixes and exciting new features to enhance user experience.​

During the five-year period, you can expect frequent updates that add new features which further enhance the user experience, while also solving any bugs that might be present. After this period, we may still bring less-frequent updates containing further improvements, if there are features which can be integrated and the capabilities of the printer support it.

Recognizing the constant evolving landscape of digital threats, and the importance of security, Bambu Lab is also committed to a minimum of seven years of software security updates, a commitment which will extend beyond this period with ongoing coverage of security updates throughout the product’s lifecycle if new security issues are identified and need to be patched.
