Wow, fuck Bambu. I have several printers and I will never ever use them.

I’ve been holding off on Bambu mostly because i don’t want my data being sent to Chinese cloud servers.
Guess I was right.
Repair advocate Louis Rossmann, noting Bambu's altered original blog post, uploaded a video soon after, "Bambu's Gaslighting Masterclass: Denying their own documented restrictions." Rossmann also took aim at Bambu's Terms of Use, suggesting that the company was asking buyers to trust that Bambu wouldn't enact restrictive policies they otherwise wrote into their user agreements.
Sounds a lot like HP's approach with "security features" to limit cheap ink.
I was planning to get a bamboo, was saving up for it. Money will go to a resin printer from someone else now.
I still wouldn't go resin. Believe me it isn't worth it unless 80% of your use case is miniatures.
Minis are probably more than 80% of my use case
Then I would 100% get a resin printer
Resin printer at home and Filament printer at work, and I'd agree. I get great detail and very little visible layering on the minis I print at home, but pretty much anything else, I'd rather use the filament.
You shouldn't even consider an FDM printer in that case, let alone one from Bambu.
The fdm isn’t for minis, I already have two and I was looking at something that could do multiple filaments. I mostly use them for printing scenery and random stuff for other people. It’s nice to have an fdm for quick and dirty stuff.
