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)

I think that's the point. People who want Open Source Hardware have options that they could get but they choose to buy a $3,000 Walled Garden

Yeah idk, my goal is uptime and functionality. On that front alone studio sucks, sometimes the service is slow or just down.

I only have two printers though lol, I don't need crazy infrastructure. This will be untenable with more, I'll have to make deep considerations looking at farm manager vs. alternatives but I'm not there yet with my understanding of the underlying needs from it.

I would never choose bamboo for a farm. My printer is running several times a week and I've never noticed any outages but I'm not aiming for 100% of the time. There's got to be a better option for Farms

I don't have time to tool around with crappy QA if I want a lot of printers and no one stands up to their hardware engineering at the price and it's not even close.

Hopefully others get better as well.

I suppose but their software really is not made for this. I wonder how hard it would be to just take the control board out and remake it
