The bambu forums and any YouTube videos on bambu under 6 months old
I was thinking it was something that would have more of an effect on a serious experienced user as opposed to my intended applications
I'm looking for plug and play I'm not trying to rewrite anything. I don't think I'm going to let this keep me from getting one but it is making a few others look a little more desirable
A few people on YouTube are now saying yes I previously recommended bambu but now I won't based on this new change
It went from get this to brake check literally overnight for me lol
So I was asking you guys for your opinions on the matter
I am more like this guy when it comes to things like this. And RC Saylor has been around a long time as well, and is a pretty good dude.
I don't know anything about this situation, but as I said, I don't see Bambu screwing over the community that is driving their sales. If their slicer works, I'd use it. Elegoo has their own slicer they are developing for their printers as well. I reached out to Elegoo about their slicer, asking if it was going to remain free forever. They replied with a believable "yes it will". So many freakin things are going monthly subscription these days, and that crap pisses me off. I applaud Elegoo for trying to alleviate that crap.
The fact is, 3d printing groups and YT channels are full of absolute morons. You have to pay attention to guys that are not completely in this stuff for their YT channel, and as RC Saylor said - fearmongering for views. Maybe the fearmongering is true? Maybe it isn't.
That being said, I am out of the loop on this. If you're worried... wait. I wouldn't go buy an inferior machine simply because the "3d printing community" has turned on a specific brand because of something they've yet to do. Because a lot of that community has no idea what they are talking about.
That's why you see me get into it with folks every once in awhile. Spreading misinformation is not something I am a fan of. If you don't know for a fact, don't open your mouth.
When I first got into 3d printing, coming from 25 years of running every type, brand, and configuration of CNC mills, lathes, vertical, horizontal, with controls from Fanuc, GE, Haas, Mazak, blah blah blah, I joined a few 3d printing communities. And I can tell you what I QUICKLY saw was 90% of the people in the Fakebook groups were complete morons that thought they were now engineers, simply because they pushed a few buttons and made a little plastic boat. Whoopity doo!
The fact may very well be that Bambu is tired of providing support for their printer when folks are using Orca, and their problems lie within their slicer settings, and folks having no idea how to use it. Pure speculation on my part. But could you imagine having a business selling a hardware based product and your support staff spends most of their time helping people setup a 3rd party program to make your stuff work?
You're doing good bro. You're doing your research. Download the Bambu slicer. Follow some tutorials on it. Play with it. See what YOU think. Don't jump on the community bandwagon full of idiots until you know for a fact you didn't jump on the wrong wagon.
