This is completely wrong... When the Bambu came out, there was nothing like it on the market that combined price, speed, and ease-of-use. Yes, there were cheaper printers, and faster printers, and easier-to-use printers, but not in a single package, and especially not in a pre-built package. Things like immature firmware were glossed over The "immature" firmware is still better than the "mature" firmware Creality ships. And Prusa shipped buggy firmware for its multi-material addon for several years, despite being in the 3d printing game for over a decade. Bambu got an advantage by being first to market. Bambu's first printer came out last year. The Anker Make came out before it. Creality and Prusa have been shipping 3d printers for a decade. Voron has been a thing for about a decade. What is this "first to market" advantage you speak of?

  I'm not sure what you're getting at. There's no subscription cost for using the cloud update, and it's possible to control the printers over WiFi using open source slicers. So it appears you're angry about a strawman that doesn't actually exist.

Bambu X1 started shipping in July 2022 when their Kickstarter wrapped up. AnkerMake M5 started shipping in August. Bambu was first. Voron is a kit or diy. Creality printers that were available at the time were not fast like the Bambu. Their K1 came later. I wrote that at the time Bambu was the first to have a pre-built fast 3d printer. That is the first to market (the pre-built fast printer market) that I was talking about. I don’t know how you say I was wrong, because everything you “corrected” me was in my previous post.
