Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - AVOID THEIR 3D PRINTERS!
You're viewing a single thread.
I just got their new 3d printer and was having a great time with it... Won't be updating firmware or buying anymore products with them until they fix this
Are you also preventing it from automatically getting an update?
They don't automatically update.
Unless that's something new, mine has never updated automatically, it always asks me.
Rossman pointed out that they said they're going to stop you from printing if you don't upgrade the firmware. Maybe a timeout built in?
According to the bambulab blog (on the official bambulab website) they explicitly state that you are free to downgrade or not upgrade and your printer will still work.
Edit: they even have a specific note about users that never want to upgrade and it states that it is fine, and their printers will still function.
Their TOS seem to state otherwise, if the screenshot in Louis' video is to be believed. Looks like they are keeping themselves an option
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll definitely have to take a look.
I'm not much for watching YouTube videos for that info, I'd rather read an article with links to the data or information.
