BambuLab basically locks down their entire 3D printer ecosystem with this ridiculous cloud authorization system.

You want to print locally via your LAN? Sorry, the cloud needs to authorize your g-code first.

Want to use another slicer to send your job to the printer? Sorry, no.

Would it really still surprise anyone if DRM'd filaments are next on their agenda? Their printers are good, their prices are cheap, but please, stop supporting this company.

Re: "Their printers are good"

Are you sure about that?

Because they gave one to HexiBase for free and after what he showed in using it, I wouldn't want that even if I were being PAID to use one:

Even without the "cloud" BS (which I agree is awful) it doesn't look as if it's good at what it claims it does, at all.

There are SO MANY 3D printers on the market.

Admittedly, I want titanium sintering ones personally, but I have expensive tastes. ;)
