So it begins... Bambu Lab's latest X1C firmware no longer works with OrcaSlicer. See: github.com/bambulab/BambuStudi…

Best solution for current X1C owners: don't upgrade your firmware.

Shred reshared this.

I have a P1S, which I know is not the first target of this BS, but it’s staying on the current firmware and blocked from the internet as a precaution. It works - I’m not touching it.

So what begins? (intrigued and was thinking of getting a Bambu A1, so...)

I recommend X1Plus - works flawlessly with OrcaSlicer and will be in the future!

They are not the first company that can act like this. What I personally don't like is that they linked their own plugin against AGPLv3 software, and there is not much community doing anything about it. If we all believe that this is illegal, there should be a class action lawsuit against them. It works way better than tariffs against companies’ misbehavior. Do we all believe that this is the lost case already?

If I had to buy a 3d printer a year ago it would have been a Bambu Labs one, today that would not be the case.
It is not about the action itself but about the intentions it shows. If they are trying to lock me into their ecosystem today then they won't be afraid to charge me for simple features tomorrow.
