I’ve had good results with most of Bambu’s filament, BUT, it comes wet. Just dry it thoroughly first and you’ll save yourself a lot of stress.

I can wait until they work the bugs out.

We’re on very similar pages I think.

Honestly, if I were in the market for another machine right now I’d be taking a hard look at building a Voron. I don’t WANT a project like that, but it seems like the best compromise in the quality and capability vs price compromise. I’m told they’re working on a 600mm³ model that may really tempt me when they finish.

I installed the X-plus firmware, switched to LAN mode, blocked WAN acess at my router and use Orca slicer and honestly, I’m pretty happy with the result. That doesn’t mean I’d give Bambu a second chance after their recent moves.

“There is no huge open source for regular printers…”

Given the state of regular printers, I’d say this is an excellent argument that there should be! I prefer actually printing to tinkering as well, but I’ve been around long enough to watch corporate interests destroy any number of tech related things from 2d printers to search engines. Bambu and Apple are both excellent examples of what not to do as well.

They have showed their hand. i would be VERY unlikely to extend my trust to Bambu again. To be clear, I don’t necessarily regret my purchase of an X1C, but I’m now running in “local” mode with my machine blocked from WAN access and I don’t intend to let Bambu back in.
