The installation of X1Plus had to be the most easy, fluid and professional third-party firmware deployment I have EVER done. The ONLY pain points were the interactions with Bambu - first the authorization pages where you have to request usi

Yes it does. The bed levelling/tramming process is even better and gives you more information/control over things. So far, I have had it for a week, printed about 36+ hours and not a problem - seems smoother than before.

Correct - the P1S and other machines do not run a full Linux AFAIK. One third-party manufacturer is looking at making replacement control boards.

heh - I bought a 17-year old Aeron in 2020 - 2nd best office purchase I ever made. (First was a Brother MFC office-class laser printer in 2016... still going strong, still gets driver updates for new OS's - and still allows me to use

Holy crap - I have read the Hobbit many times (and LoTR a few less) and I would never have taken the time to commit 13-character names to memory - most of them simply were not that memorable.

... well... stepper motors, motherboards and v/t-slot extrusion can be used for many other things than 3d printers... If they are going to regulate this, then why not CNC machines? Lathes? Drill presses? Pipes and lumber?

Man, I love my Brother - it is 10-years old this spring, driver updates keep coming for new operating systems in both 32/x64 - and never has a hassle with third-party toner cartridges. While it is intended for a small office (and ther

The ONLY problem I have ever heard of Bambu printers starting on their own was when Bambu itself had a problem with cloud: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Bambu-3D-printers-start-printi... I have owned one since November 2023

Having owned an X1C for just over a year, I have loved it - it was my 3rd printer - and it "just works" (99% of the time). However - this is just the push I need to install the 3rd-party firmware (X1Plus), I was considering doing

Yes, I read the article - just venting - I would love to get a Linux or Haiku OS installed on this machine that is able to use the nVidia Quadro K2000M hardware and drive an external monitor configuration - but so far, nothing has worked.
