I'm just looking into 3D printers finally, and it's nice to have a whole brand completely off the table so I don't even need to consider them. Thank you Jeff!

Lazy (lucky) me stuck with an old printer, a slicer I stopped updating two years ago, and OctoPrint on a derelict laptop tying it all together. It. Just. Prints. My intuition wasn’t off, however many details I couldn’t foresee, or ‘convenient’ features I obviously lack. I don’t miss any of them… (Thanks for sharing, Jeff…!)

If someone from Bambu reading this - YouTube recommended me this video because I'm looking for a 4-5 printers for my company, probably more in the near future if they will be good, and Bambu was on my radar so I watched a lot of videos here. But there is a competition (which is good) and a lot od brands and models to choose from. As a developer open source is important for me, but I really do not require from any company to support it. BUT making something opposite, fighting against it and harassing developers for some weird reason is unacceptable for me. I was decided to making a order but now I'm deciding to go with Prusa instead. Hope it was worth it Bambu! I spend resources to gain nothing at all and lose a money. Wow, good work!

I was about to get a Bambu, thanks for this video!!! Now I can FF through the all the Bambu sponsor segments. I was already gonna have to get around using their slicer.. saved me headaches I didn't even know were coming.

Was looking at a Bambu h2d, not any longer. Thanks for the video.

Genuine question, not trying to defend anyone here: if a tool was spoofing the official client ID to talk to the cloud, what should the company actually do? I keep reading the comments and most are about the principle, but I haven't seen anyone propose what the alternative response would've been. Open to hearing takes

I’m looking for my first 3D printer. I have narrowed it down to Bambu and Prusa. Your video just made it more easier for me to choose, thank you 👍🙂

Good to know, I'm currently looking for my first 3d printer - it won't be Bambu Lab 3D printer for sure.

Your content is for sure suppressed by utubes algo man. I just got into printing, and not once has your content sneaked through until I started filtering and searching for very specific results. Subscribed... Just bought my first printer. X2D, lol.

I had no idea about any of this, so thank you for the video. I have only just bought my first Bambu Lab printer and love it, but have now put it on dev and LAN mode and will use Orca going forward.

So glad to see more people like you taking a big stand on this!! We can fight back!! Thank you so much for bringing attention to it, and not tolerating it (and teaching us how to help ourselves too!)

Recently, I begin to consider purchasing a 3D printer and the Bambu printer was at the top of my list. Your video has led me to reconsider purchasing one.

Your last video was one of the reasons why I have not purchased a Bambu Lab printer. 😊

I was literally just about to drop a months discretionary income on an A1. Thank you so much for this video. I will not be paying for a product I will not actually own.
