Comprehensive Response to Bambu's AGPLv3 Violations from SFC

I bet the folks over at Prusa are absolutely swearing right now, because there is a deeply cynical layer to this whole situation. There isn't a single fiber in my body that believes Bambu Lab is in the right here, or that they aren't blatantly violating the license. But the fact that a $15k bounty h

Thinking about leaving Bambu Lab for Snapmaker U1

The only problems I had with p1s were AMS related and toolhead related. Not sad to not be using AMS all time now I have A U1. But auto loading is great, U1 can't do that. The tool head related issues I would say I have had about 4 times the amount of on U1, but it has 4 toolheads, so... For me at le

2026 is the year of the toolchanger. Will Bambu compete with this performance?

I own 4 BLs (P1S, A1 mini, A1, H2D) and a Snapmaker U1. Edit: and I've owned and built others since 2012 or so. The BL software is better but it's not substantially better (computer-side). The mobile app is a lot better, but the Snapmaker mobile app is fine. Just not as many features. BL is the winn

First 3d Printer Snapmaker U1 or P2S

You're asking in a Snapmaker subreddit, so you'll get Snapmaker recommendations. Many people will tell you the opposite in the BL subreddit. But: I'm one of many who own a U1 and also own BL printers (P1S, A1 mini, A1, H2D). I don't own the P2S but I think I can speak with a fair bit of relevant exp

3D Printer Buyers Nightmare

OrcaSlicer developer Josef Prusa says Bambu Lab allegedly violates AGPL license with an un-auditable network "black box" — warns Chinese 3D printing software poses massive security risks

Or just buy a printer with open firmware. For example, Snapmaker U1 runs pretty standard klipper/moonraker/fluidd.

Bambu only Priced the X2D at $899 because of the Snapmaker U1

Print quality is fine with the U1. I liked my U1 so much I bought a second one after 3 weeks, something I did when I first got an X1C (I have 2 X1C and a P1S). Where Snapmaker is lagging is in software, and they just released another update today. Considering it’s a 5 month old product, we can’t rea

I've converted. Need paxx guidance.

I used stock firmware for quite a while before switching to extended. I did it mostly for mods. I would say that for me, understanding my U1 before modding it gave me a lot of piece of mind knowing what to expect and what was abnormal. It's not necessary, especially if you're not of the same mindset

Snapmaker U1 vs Sovol M1D

I own a U1, and I have pledged for the M1D, so let me start by saying they both seem like really good printers, spec-wise. phone app-based support Neither is going to excel here, but Snapmaker seems to be putting more investment into filling up their app store, and they have an app. Sovol doesn't, a

Rewrote the BTT Panda Breath firmware for proper Klipper integration: open source (DragonBreath)

I am doing more digging, on the one control source at a time, this was a concious decision. in the snapmakerU1 world, we were only supporting 1.0.3 stock firmware, so HA was not even a thing. with the U1 (klipper) we are essentially giving the printer a ton of control to the heater so one control so
