People should wake up and outright refuse to purchase anything from Bamboo Labs. It is clear that they do not intend to give back to open source after benefiting hugely from it and now on top, they are patching newer versions of the firmware to prevent installing an alternatives.
- scrps 3y agoI actually posted for that exact reason. Was looking for a second printer (a coreXY, mine is a cartesian) and the X1 had all the same features as my printer (minus the lidar) except turnkey and enclosed. After discovering their corp culture I hard noped and I think I'll just bite the time bullet and build a voron.
- sschueller 3y agoThank you for being one of the few that still cares about this. I have built V0 and it's great but I am torn the V2 as it's quite large and I would like something with a tool changer which the V2 is not ideal for.
- scrps 3y agoNo worries, open source has been supporting me for 20 years, it is the least I can do. I've been going back and forth on the trident vs the 2.4, I need to do more research on the fixed gantry vs the flying gantry but then in the meantime just browsing what is out there and I find a qidi x-max 3, easy bambu competitor, runs klipper, the company seems friendly to open source, handles eng materials, heated chamber, fast. So now I am torn as to which way I am going to go. Also the qidi is not without it's problems from what research I have done but it seems like mostly early bugs. How do you like the v0? Edit: forgot to add info
