Of course this is just my opinion
And if I understand something wrong, feel free to tell me that so I know better
Rage is not needed
I’m just exhausted with all of this and lashing out in a snarky manner.
This is my community, and over the past few days here I’ve seen it completely over run and shat on by day old accounts. The sheer amount of misinformation, bad takes, and just knee jerk reactions and all of it.
And seeing on Reddit, the blatantly false things that people tried to spread, and fine, there’s problems. I wont be such a ■■■■ as to say with sincerity that “What do I care? It doesn’t affect me.”, because it does. Even if it doesn’t directly, it still affects the community I’m a part of, and those that do make use of these features; people that are my friends, that are people I respect.
I’m sick of these people flooding in here on their crusades though. They don’t make me feel sympathetic to the issue. They come in screaming and yelling about how horrible Bambu is and just going over as such. A lot of it doesn’t come across as genuine to me.
Reading the post of my fellow forum users though, that’s different. You guys don’t come in here trying to stir ■■■■ up. We don’t all always get along, but we’re here around each other and show each other a level of respect that just isn’t there with this stream of people flooding in to complain. Some of the most thoughtful post have come from those on this forum. Even those that may not be so keen on Bambu already, but they are still actively a part of this community and still treat it with respect.
Key word here is may. Bambu officially said they are not going to be bricking printers
I was not trying to stir you up, i am sorry if i made it look that way. It’s just that sometimes i just come here to read “you” or other fellow community members and get a chuckle out of it after a sh1tty day.
I get it, no worries. After reading it all i got the point but i had already written the previous message.
Everything is good when good is everything 
It’s self reflection. I looked in the mirror, and maybe I didn’t see a criminal, but I did see a side of myself that I’m not always pleased with.
And there’s where the self reflection stings a little, because I feel this. I was being snarky, but out of frustration and not just the joy of being silly. I was trying to take a step back, but still managed to place myself right in the middle of it.
Basically, I think you’re right, and that was an admittance that I’m not being my best.
I wasn’t referring to you and actually approved of some of your comments. Maybe put the phone down for a while. I think you’re a little wound up.
Some of my biggest concerns are paywall and cloud connection to make BS work. I already don’t like Fusion360 cloud. I don’t like having to connect to the cloud to save/edit files.
com’on, some of that was funny. I mean, looking into a mirror, and I even did a call back. This is like top tier stuff here. 
Like I said though, I was just being snarky. Nothing I said in that particular post should be taken too seriously. My apologies though, as it was at your expense in a way that it didn’t have to be.
Gonna drop this here for everyone too.
It’s difficult to relate to username_randomnumber. Let’s expand our community by being a part of it.
It pains me to say that I’ll likely be joining many others that choose to move their business elsewhere. I can only hope that Bambu listens and corrects course before it is too late.
Bambu would have to really convince me they’ll never try something like this again. Otherwise the distrust will always be there and I’ll be thinking what if they silently try this in 6 months after it all cools down; causing me to stay in LAN mode without internet.
I don’t think Bambu is going to be spending any time trying to convince you
Or anyone, for that matter.
They are fixed on that point and they won’t move, not even an inch. It may not be now, but what they are planning is already in motion way back before this. This just came and made it worst.
It’s a game of “wait and see”. That’s it.
Go full Lan mode or Cloud mode, your choice. But also vote with your wallet next time you want t buy anything 3d printing related. Our wallet is their power, as it is with any company.
Stay quiet but don’t forget! Be vocal when the time comes and not now that they tried to save their face. People will hate you now because Bambu said sorry.
Stay away from Creality; the K2 Plus is a real piece of shxt. It works for a maximum of three weeks before having 3-4 separate failures. Their support is non-existent of takes 4-5 days between responses, parts are non-existent.
I use the cheapest filament I can find on Amazon. I have a huge amount of non-Bambu filament in-stock; in fact, I have zero Bambu filament in-stock. If they are going to limit my X1C to Bambu filament, then the printer will go silent and put in a closet.
This is a joke, they are not going to do that. They have clarified that, and that would be highly illegal.
No it is not. Maybe if you didn’t “use the cheapest filament I can find on Amazon” then you would have less failures.
I second this. I’ve been trying to avoid everything that depends on cloud. The whole bambu handy cloud thing is an eyesore that we have to live with.
This new auth system is just the last straw that tips people over.
I wonder if this is the time for someone to go a great length to rip apart all electronics of x1c or p1s and slap some opensource 3d printer motherboard on it. I think it is viable.
What a great idea. Buy a perfectly working expensive device and then tear out the guts and replace the guts with hardware and software of questionable reliability.
Between the sales, unshipped item and now this. This forum isn’t what it was when I joined.
I’m just watching everyone fall apart until the smoke clears and everyone realizes all is going to be fine.
