Looks like Bambu is getting more enshittified. I am so glad I didn't let my recent frustration at my clumsiness with my Prusa steer me into Bambu-land.

Ugh, ive been eyeing them for a first printer but the back-asswards network stuff kept me away (seriously? No ethernet for a large stationary device?). Are there any printers like Bambu (ie, plug and Play) that arent internet-of-shit cloud-only abandonware?

Ooh, that XL is certainly interesting. The main thing i want to design/print would be custom tool trays, so fairly shallow objects but wider and longer than the average 3d printers ive seen will handle. Things roughly laptop sized i can easily slide into my backpack

If you have time to be a little bit patient, they just announced their new core XY design printer due out in the next few months.

He mentioned ethernet though. Do not believe this will have that either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The XL does appear to have ethernet. The guide for networking it also has ethernet instructions

[–] ArtVandelay 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Interesting, my Mk4 has wired ethernet

If you are talking about the Core One, here is the connectivity of it from the Prusa website:

"Prusa CORE One is equipped with a LAN port and a detachable Wi-Fi module (Wi-Fi can be set up a with an NFC tap). It integrates seamlessly with both Prusa Connect and Prusa App, so you always have a complete overview of your printer. However, the printer can be operated in a full offline mode without any compromise. You can even flash the firmware from a USB drive."

I love my Prusa printers, but I am not a "fanboy" from the standpoint of shitting on any other printer that is not a Prusa. It's just that I like them and keep buying them.

I think Bambu printers bring a lot of features to users at a really low price compared to any other manufacturer.

Prusa Connect and Prusa App

Are these both open source too?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

They are not but Prusa Link is, which is their local version of Prusa Connect: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Link-Web

I'm honestly not sure if they are or not, but neither are necessary. You can go straight to the IP address of your printer and manage it from the lan.
