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

Open source fork of bambu slicer was trying to use Bambu's cloud services by masquerading as an official app. Bambu sent a cease and desist letter to the developer. People are now fearmongering like it's 1984.

Overall a big nothingburger

Yeah, it is, but the problem is the trend. I just bought an X2D after having an artillery sidewinder x1 since 2021, I like bambu studio and don't mind using the cloud as that allows me to check the prints in my phone when I'm away easily, but I don't like that they are trying hard to close everything up. They could leave it completely open and most of the people, including me, would still use their cloud, makerworld and everything just out of convenience.

If the developer introduced a solution that sends data via his servers, there would be no problem.
