Next step soon is going to be a larger P1S with the 2nd gen. tool head which could follow pretty soon because it "only" requires a bigger frame.

@@GeneralKenobi69420 The value of a company says nothing about its ability to remain an ongoing concern. Multi-billion dollar companies that have been around much longer and have more entrenchment fail every year. Prusa has very little moat due to their open source commitment. This is a calculated risk that buys them goodwill and allows them to benefit from community participation in finding solutions to problems, but if their audience shifts toward competitors that just-work and don't share alike, they lose the benefits of taking that risk and it becomes a liability. I would be very surprised if the employees of Prusa would characterize the pace of effort internally as "resting on their laurels". I suspect the challenges competing that Prusa has been facing stem more from a lack of focus (they try to do too much in-house, requiring them to build competency in a lot of disciplines, and they are working on too many disparate efforts within their core competencies) and higher labor costs than the competition due to their location.

voron and bambu are apples and oranges. vorons are highly modable and you wont be printing well without tinkering and tuning. theyre also open source and you can install or CAD just about any mod you want onto their printers bambu wont let you change the power cable on your a1 mini. Thats enough information to let you know how unmodable and closed source they are.

A few years ago I bought an ender 3 pro, I knew it wasn't the best printer, but it was affordable AND most importantly it alowed me to tinker and learn more about 3D-printing, today that Ender 3 Pro resembles nothing to it's original form except the size, it is a direct drive, 32 bit bigtreetech board, autobedleveling, full metal hotend Printer, would I do this again? Yes, because I like tinkering and learning, and your videos have helped a ton, so thank you for that. But I would probably If I had the money buy an X1, with the 16-color system and all the trimmings and it's proprietary slicer, why? It's not really a machine you should tinker on, because it is already good as is, and learning is limited because you can not tinker, but I am asked to print a lot of stuff lately, so I need something of a reliable production machine which can handle a lot of stuff, fast and reliable, without the hassle of tinkering, testing, breakdowns etc....Because yes in tinkering there is a lot of failure, which isn't bad for learning, but it does tend to mess up the works, today I can honestly say that I can rely on my enhanced Ender 3 Pro, but it is still a tinker and lerning machine, not a reliable production machine, which is where 3D-printers like Bambulabs come in to play nicely, BUT if I am going to buy one it is go big or go home for me.

i feel like no one in the 3d printing space is really talking about the absolute crapstorm that bambu have created for anything resembling opensource. sure he mentioned the lack of replacements and the poop is very wasteful but no one's really talking about how whenever this printer hits is 2nd or 3rd birthday bambu could simply not sell replacement parts, right as all the older machines are needing a new extruder or new rails. what happenes when bambu servers go down due to some issue on their end or when they finally close their doors X years in the future? sure theres an SD card but even creality at this point have wifi printing. Also the fact makerworld is a 1:1 copy of printables kind of pisses me off. Remember when Bambu's CEO said he wants to give back to the [open source] (he said Voron but i think he's a little confused what the difference is) community on this very channel when stephan interviewed him? theres nothing given, nero (a voron design member) specifically called him out on twitter about it, yet nothing. Ill personally consider a bambu as a printer the day they allow me to replace the nozzle on my own machine and stop sending all my gcode and personal data to some server off in the CCP.
@johnsweet19158 ай бұрын
LAN mode should be fine for you to avoid the data issue. Outside that, you know that there's a bunch of 3rd party spares makers for bambu already? Reverse engineering simple consumable and mechanical parts is normally pretty easy, and a wide user base ensures that there will be a market for those parts, especially if Bambu stop supporting them. Boards and chips are normally the hard bit, but they also tend to be the bits that don't break so much. It's a bit like buying spares for your car - Ford don't open source the design for the F150 but there are definitely non-Ford parts on the market, especially for older models.

In order for a product to push past hobbyist levels and make it to mass market (which is clearly what they are trying to do) it needs to be polished, perform well, and be idiot proof. I guarantee you that right now at least 50% of the people buying a Bambu labs machine don't know about or give a crap about open source and never will, and that number is going to go higher and higher year after year. People don't want to tinker, they want a close ecosystem that just works. Where do I get my filament? Bambu. Where do I get my parts? Bambu. Where do I get my support? Bambu. What slicer do I use?

The spool spring winder is likely only for keeping the rolls tidy and avoid tangling of filament. There's similar spring loaded solutions printable out there for printing from a rack.

They used endless Chinese manufacturing capacity initially build for us (mean west) with our money. Especially via Covid times when EU and USA companies had very limited access to them. Like Prusa is building machines in EU for EU labor price. They rely on vendors most of them are from Chine. Meanwhile Bambulab just goes over the corner and finds production capacity, direct live communication and short supply routes with rapid feedback. Regulations in EU are much higher and democracy also is coming at some cost. Intellectual property is handled differently in EU , USA and entire free world than in the totalitarian Chinese regime. For me all this matter, that is the reason why I didn't buy any of they product so far. I really don't want to see something like DJI happening again with 3d printers. We had good start in EU.

They may say it’s an unbiased review, but if you notice every time he says something negative he immediately minimize it by then either justifying it (like the closed source) or by saying something really positive to minimize his carefully phrased negative thought. But all in all, he’s not really giving his true opinion, because if he does, bambu, will just shut him out Sad.
