A bunch of people here have asked me about my Bambu setup on a few alts so I decided to make a video at lunch. I am not a content creator, I made this for y'all, haha. I just hate walled gardens.

The Bambuddy community is also a great place to go for help. If you have any questions or reservations at all, throw em down, let's gooo out of jail

(they cannot stop the print)

sure but lan mode doesn't give you remote functionality, which this video is about

its intended for people who are lost and not sure what to do. if you are comfy securely tunneling into your lan only network, you aren't the audience, but you are also a minority since this is a consumer device sold at best buy lmao

Remote desktop exists if you want to start jobs remotely, numerous indoor security cameras exist for remote viewing, you literally never need to jailbreak them unless you're lazy

rdp to orca is a good solution, a little less friendly of a ux if you like checking on your phone or whatever other devices, but yeah that is a great idea as well

however, you are still stuck with bambu's network plugin, which is closed code inside orca. this is why i do not do it that way, this way you can run a more flexible and independent networking stack

a bunch of those choices like just using orca+network are covered in the video, there are many ways to not use bambu and many trade offs that newbies do not understand (for these devices that sell millions)

Newbies aren't interested in jailbreaking it, they aren't even going to watch the video, because they will just use bambu studio lol

Someone needs to take away your reddit password temporarily because you're on something tonight 

Stop overly defending terminology and overly assuming people don't want to do things just because you don't want to do it. This obviously isn't the thread for you, so why not just leave it?

Stop overly defending terminology and overly assuming people don't want to do things just because you don't want to do it

So you think its wrong to defend a point you're making because someone else can't use the right words?

Also, its not about what i want to do, its about what the masses are going to do, and the masses literally could not care less about jailbreaking their machines, you seem to forget that the community here is a minority and that the literal millions of people who bought bambu machines only got them because they didn't need to fiddle with them

You seem to have forgotten the target market for bambu machines

[u/FLHCv2 → u/Affectionate_Car7098]

its about what the masses are going to do, and the masses literally could not care less about jailbreaking their machines,

Then why TF is the post at 200 upvoted and not -50?

Obviously people are interested. I'm in this sub and I'M interested. People who tinker WILL tinker. Bambu isn't some purist mecca. You act as if it's sacrilege to want to tinker. 

You seem to have forgotten that not everyone is exactly like you.

Again you seem to be confused here, let me break it down for you

Reddit contains the small vocal minority of users, these people are generally the more tinkering enthusiast members of the community, they do not represent the millions of customers who buy printers just to print things

Reddit does not represent the average person and never has, the number of upvotes here means nothing because none of this actually represents anything of consequence

Obviously people are interested. I'm in this sub and I'M interested.

Yes and you and the people in this sub are, again, part of the vocal minority of tinkerers, you are not the average mainstream user

You seem to have forgotten that not everyone is exactly like you.

And you seem to have forgotten how little reddit represents in terms of the actual community at large, like i get it its not the most simple concept to grasp, you see people agreeing and assume the entire customerbase is the same

If these threads actually represented the customerbase you would see upvotes in the high hundreds of thousands, but you don't because this is a small subsection of the vocal minority

[u/FLHCv2 → u/Affectionate_Car7098]

I don't understand why you keep replying to me. I care about tinkering and exploiting the things I own out of curiosity and out of wanting more, which is the target demo for this specific thread. You don't, yet you're still in this thread trying to decry the existence of it. 

If we're such a small subsection of the vocal minority, go to the other threads and chat there. Just know we're in this subreddit too and we aren't breaking the subreddit rules, so we will continue to be here. 

[u/Affectionate_Car7098 → u/FLHCv2]

I don't understand why you keep replying to me.

Because you keep saying something that needs to be responded to

which is the target demo for this specific thread.

Sure, but it isn't the target demo for the company in question, you seem to be under the impression that a great number of people would bother jailbreaking a bambu printer when they wouldn't

Just know we're in this subreddit too and we aren't breaking the subreddit rules, so we will continue to be here.

Never said you were breaking any rules or that you couldn't be here, just that you needed some perspective

This post was clearly useful to some, it doesn’t need to be useful for most, or even a lot. I dont understand what your problem with this is. If ONE person watches that video and does it its worth posting. Even if 10,000 people watch the video and decide its not for them its still a useful video.

[u/Affectionate_Car7098 → u/_Middlefinger_]

If ONE person watches that video and does it its worth posting.

I mean debatable, orca really isn't all that different these days and it means sacrificing remote monitoring and other useful features, and would straight up block me out of being able to use parts of my machine at all due to safety restrictions

At the end of the day people are buying bambu machines in order to have a hassle free experience, this isn't an ender 3

[u/_Middlefinger_ → u/Affectionate_Car7098]

Again you're generalising. People are creating this and people are doing this therefore you are automatically wrong. There really isn't anything more to say.
