On my ender 3 I have to turn the knobs on the bottom for leveling.

I just picked up a Bambu Lab P1S and it doesn't.

Fundamentally, what is different that allows the P1S and other printers to get away without it?

Good comparison with Apple (no open source anything)

There are some differences on how locked down their (bambulab & apple) ecosystem is:

  • BambuLab talked with the X1plus guys and made changes to allow it (apple would never allow a jailbreak)

  • BambuLab talked with BTT/BIQU regarding the Panda touch The conclusion isn't as fortunate.

  • BambuLab collaborated with E3D.

WebKit is open source 😅 so maybe Bamboo is a little worse in that regard.

WebKit is only open source because they forked KHTML to create it, which is licenced under LGPL
