Lol on me, I bought a p1s like 3 months ago.

Works like a charm though and 300€ is what like the hotend cost on my wanky homemade printer from the past.

Would love a full FOSS replacement ofc.is that something even possible (especially the cloud stuff, mighty convenient)?

To be fair, Bambu and their consumer hostile approach has been known for at least a year at this point when they locked out Orca Slicer from the cloud services originally.

Which violated the AGPL license from Ranellucci.

I don't really see the point. I mean, why bother to try to do something that just makes the company's printers more desirable? Even if you "win", the company is going to be a pain in the ass. Do you really want to waste time and financial resources on improving the company's product?

Just don't buy Bambu Lab printers. Don't recommend them. And don't support them with software.

If this was a world in which there was one 3D printer manufacturer, it'd be different, but it's not. They have competition.

As someone with a BL P2S I really appreciate other people helping with this fight. I won't buy another BL product but I'd like to keep using the one I already have.
