This is an interesting video. He draws a parallel between what BL is initiating with what Makerbot did with closing their ecosystem. And he also talks about the progressive lockdown MB did and how BL could go down the same path. Only question is whether or not that is Bambu’s actual plan?
And he is not so far from it. there are several companies that tried this in the past and went out of buisinens instead of having a blooming buisines. So it is a bit of a shock that Bambu took this route … The end will be same for them as for the rest of them in past.
I feel like he has it right. This could also be really good for designers on makerworld. Possibly allowing people to only print your model once for every download.
I think I’d prefer they start with fixing the bug that doesn’t count the print when it thinks it failed, but really didn’t. That actually hurts us regularly, in reality, currently.
Were you referencing the app subscription service?
When I got into 3D printing I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on the subject, At some point I came to realize that the information given tended to be highly unreliable, even from some of the more respectable ones. Uncle Jessy is one of those who seems to talk for the sake of talking, like Louis Rossmann without saying anything useful. What a society we have become when a good portion of our society is regularly whipped up into a hysterical frenzy by less than knowledgeable, less than honorable influencers. It is even more bizarre that those so whipped up into a frenzy often accuse others of having been so influenced.
This protest is marketed as users rising up to complain about their loss of functionality when like every other silliness that takes hold across the internet, it has been targeted and purposeful, a concentrated effort. Once again we get to see a social experiment playing out in real time, before our very eyes.
But, he does say several times it may or may not happen, yet he is correct that a precedent has been set in the industry. That is a simple fact.
How it pans out? Well, we’ll see.
Youre really running interference lately. Bambu should cut you guys checks. Ive been searching for these high knowledge tid bits you leave but cant find them. Are you also a youtuber then?
I wonder why this is on your mind.

On a side note, about this topic. for the people it really affects…eggs, meet single basket.
What are the chances that this was released right after all the sales ended, and not before, for a reason?
Maybe this is where the money for customer service agents went lol
