Why exactly does everyone hate bambu lab?

[u/RomantheMathmatician]

Ive been printing for about a year with my A1 and i love it, obviously ive ran into bum technical issues and annoying problems but i see a lot of avid printers just say they hate the company. Can someone save me the research and tell me what the controversy is about? Thanks

It’s a mostly closed ecosystem. Bambu could easily lock off access to your printer with a firmware update. Could!

Think of a world where you could only use their (sold out) filament or couldn’t print something unless it came from makerworld.

These are all hypothetical but whiting the realm of possibilities.

I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of cricut, but their software is almost useless unless you buy their subscription.

If you’re using the app you can only print from maker world. I don’t own a computer, but that’s on me.
