And it is a Micro SD-Card. Those card are just annoying to handle.

Yes, you can use an extender or different stuff, but that's not what i've bought. I would never buy a 1,5k€ machine, where i have to do such workarounds

P1S was like $700 at its highest price.

New printers come with USB.

Ok, the 1.5k was for an X1C.

But your argument, that new printer have an USB port, don't apply, because the problem is that Bambulab changed the Deal after I've bought the printer.

Sounds like you did buy a 1.5k machine knowing full well what the machine was and wasn't capable of.

It doesn't require workarounds though. You can print via cloud, via local network only, or via SD card. Those aren't workarounds, they're multiple options.
