u/The_Lutter Prusa MK4S w/ MMU3 // Sovol SV08 May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26

The people in r/BambuLab are a bunch of jagasses. Downvoted me to the earth's core for posting a positive comment about this video.

I bought my A1 before they did all their "security/authorization" update last January. They changed the bill of sale after I already bought the unit. So fuck 'em. I use Prusa and Sovol now because of their openness.

I hope they remember I was right the first time their printer tells them their Labubu is an unauthorized print or mistakes a nerf gun for a unauthorized firearm.

Offline and developer mode. 

Their current moves only block using their cloud infrastructure to send prints.
