Awesome to see that Bambu and the X1 Plus devs are talking.

I agree. I chose not to go with the P1S because of Bambu's proprietary nature. I don't NEED to SSH into my printer or mess around in the internals, but it's nice to have that option, especially once a manufacturer moves on from an old model. It would be ideal to have community support once that happens. I went with the Qidi X-Plus 3 because of build volume and price too, not just openness, but aside from Bambu's wireless printing for some reason requiring data to go through their cloud I've only heard good things. I think this move to allow third party firmware is very smart and will draw more of the maker market, not just the average consumer.
