If you cannot activate it without the latest firmware. Dont buy it. Im lucky enough to have gotten my p1s with the old firmware. The old FW allows LAN mode. If you update, you printer will be locked into cloud mode. Aka all your prints and files must go through BL cloud servers. Not only is that a data security hazard, if their servers are down, your printer becomes a paperweight. I bought the hardware, I own the hardware, dont put software on there to take what I had paid away.Synology is doing the same thing. I left them too for UNRAID.

Read up on the current bambu labs firmware. YT users are pointing it out too. They tried doing some John Deere crap on customers.

For those unfamiliar with the situation, don't let posts like this scare you away from what is genuinely one of the best printers on the market, especially at this price point.
Yes, the new firmware does introduce tighter integration with Bambu Lab's cloud services, and for users working with proprietary designs or running commercial print farms, that could raise valid concerns. But for the average hobbyist or even consumer, the impact is practically nonexistent.
Most people just want a printer that works reliably out of the box, and the P1S (even with the latest firmware) delivers that in spades. It's fast, high quality, and incredibly easy to use. The privacy concerns are mostly theoretical for the typical user, and unless you're running air-gapped systems for a reason, you're likely already trusting plenty of devices with similar connectivity.
For most, it's a non-issue.

I just googled and many users with a new firmware says panda touch no longer works. fk that.
Yep, just like buying a car. And one day, the manufacturer says HAH, OTA say bye-bye to CarPlay.

This is absurd. They can simply provide panda touchscreen with security update to comply.

I think they dont want to cannibalize X1C's sale as they find more users just buying the Panda touch screen with metal extruder gear to make it X1C.

You do realize that just about all software now is cloud based and can be de-activated at the flick of a switch. I have had my Bambu printer for almost a year now and not had a single issue with their cloud service. It just works. I also have synology equipment and it does not rely on synology in order to do its job, only for updates.

I don't do 3D printing stuff, and I'm not familiar with Bambu Lab, but here is my take. It's not just security concern, but there may be copyright and legal issue here. If you are force to use it's cloud service, that you have to agree to their cloud service as well. Generally speaking, any cloud service legalese would at least give them limited right to use your invented blueprint and probably relief them of certain liability. Or down right evil and says they own all the intellectual right on anything you upload. And yea, don't forget the favorite part about the part that they can change their contract as they wish. Even if you are just a hobbyist and just test printing something and decide that what ever you just make could make you money, well you already gave the right to exclusively own that when you print that item via cloud service.

If I had to buy more printers now, I would go with the Prusa CORE One. Its very similar to performance with a solid repair parts program, and none of that cloud stuff to worry about.
Yup, that's a nice machine. The Core One definitely looks solid, but it's also nearly twice the cost of the P1S. With this deal, you're getting the P1S with AMS for less than the price of just the Core. If you value your money, this is a much better deal all around.
I can't speak to Prusa's parts and repair program from experience, but I can say Bambu Lab has been one of the most consumer-friendly I've seen in a while. I've repaired and resold a couple of their printers, and they make it easy with clear guides, videos, and spare parts that are both accessible and reasonably priced.

Bambu Lab doesn't force you to use the cloud. You can run their printers entirely offline using SD cards or LAN-only modes if you prefer.

As for copyright and IP concerns, Bambu Lab's terms don't claim ownership over your models or designs. Like most services, they include language allowing them to process your data for the purpose of delivering the service, but that doesn't equate to taking ownership or exclusive rights.

At the end of the day, if you're not comfortable with cloud features, you don't have to use them. But it's good to be accurate about what's actually required or enforced instead of spreading misinformation based on ignorance and feelings.

Technically true but these are the first steps that companies often do to close their ecosystem. Apple does it and HP does it with their printers, basically forcing you to buy genuine HP toners. Its a shitty practice and always a slippery slope. I can see 5 years down the road, you're gonna have to buy genuine Bambu filaments or something.

Totally. Always best to make decisions based on what a company might do someday based on a worst case plausible scenario, rather than what they've actually done so far.

Must make it tough to buy anything new with that mindset.

It's not tough. Bambu has already taken these steps lol. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... It's a duck. The writing is on the wall based on countless other companies that have done the same. It's a classic playbook. You only lock down your ecosystem to sell proprietary shit, like a $50 lighning dongle. Like Apple, there will be sheeples like yourself that will pay for that. If it weren't for EU consumers suing Apple, they would have never embraced usbc. It's a shitty practice all around and as consumers we have to say no, especially when there are many other options. I don't get why any legitimate consumer would defend these practices.

Bambu has already done that.
I recently bought a P1S hoping to add a panda screen and other mods on it. Now Panda will only output under their new firmware. Rolling back is not an option as I do not want to miss any tweaks and fixes that are upcoming.
I don't mind using their cloud system, but blocking any 3rd party accessories from being used is abusrd,

is the firmware on these the latest or there is chance it can have old one too? I am seeing for X1 they blocked the downgrade but online I see reddit threads few folks talk about being able to downgrade the fw? is this applicable to P1S ??

I've always wanted one to play with, but I'm not an artist/creative type and always run into having absolutely no clue what I would do with this. Are there any good resources out there for ways someone who isn't an industrial engineer or CAD designer might actually use this?

You are supposed to be able to do it through the Handy App, but I've been trying to do it since the latest update and it doesn't work.

I'm going to try it via the SD card method later today: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p1/m...om-SD-card

I would like to get my Panda Touch working again as it should. My printer (Centauri Carbon) I bought recently, was not a Bambu and this propriety stuff is a big reason why. It prints just as well and even faster than my P1S and cost half the price. The only think I'm missing is an AMS which should be being released soon. Having said that, I'm certainly not going to dump my P1S and it is a great printer, but I certainly won't be buying another Bambu. My only experience with their support wasn't very good either.
