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.

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 dont want to downgrade and get stuck on old firmware as they fix minor issues like print and gcode with ongoing firmware. Just wish they would provide security updates for 3rd party to comply with the changes.

That's why I just got a prusa core one instead. Pricier, but far more trustworthy.

Copy/pasta from a previous Bambu deal I commented on: This is a pretty good deal! To answer a lot of questions, buckle up for this long comment.Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with any 3D printing company. I'm just a guy who did months of research before buying the P1S during last year's Black Friday Sale. A few months later, I added an AMS. I've done exotic materials (Carbon Fiber reinforced nylon, TPU) as well as PLA and PLA+.If you compare Bambu to previous manufacturers, Bambu printers are considered the "Apple of 3D printers." They aren't the first to implement all of its features, but they combined them in a good package that is easy to use.The printer comes mostly pre-built. You just have to do a little building of accessories that don't pack/ship well. For the P1S, you can get your first print going in ~20 minutes of opening the box. Old school hobbyist know the pain of having to build a printer from scratch/pile of pieces. Bambu printers have auto-leveling. Not having to manually level the print bed between prints is huge. My buddy with an Ender 3 gave up the hobby because of just leveling the bed and the frustrations with that.Bambu's slicer software has an awesome base configuration with defaults. You can literally just download an STL, load it, and hit run for something like the benchy boat. If you need supports, you just hit a checkbox and auto-supports does a fantastic job of supporting locations that need it. Printing a vase? Check the box for vase mode! It does awesome with the default settings. The slicer stuff carries over to the AMS. If you have a .3mf or some other multi-color file, just import it! You select the colors/rolls you have and it gives you a great preview of what it will do.You can even take a single color .stl and "paint" a multi-color print with it right in the software. Then of course you have the flexibility to customize every aspect and print setting you want. It accepts .gcode as well you can just import for custom settings.I got the P1S over the A1 specifically because I wanted to print "exotic" materials. Not to mention the higher bed and nozzle temps needed. Some of these materials need an enclosure to maintain a higher air temperature for the duration of the print. This is opposite than say PLA which it's even recommended to open up the lid to have open air for the print. I've done TPU and PA6-CF. I've gotten really great results with the default settings in the Bambu slicer software. One thing I'd advise is to use and directly print from a filament dryer. I personally have the Sunlu S2 that has exit holes to print directly from the dryer. This is especially needed for carbon fiber filaments, so you are drying as you are printing for long prints. Drying these types of filaments is critical for good prints. I ordered both TPU and PA6-CF and both were "moist" (TPU was at like 45% relative humidity and the PA6-CF was at like 25%) right out of the package. Since the S2 only gets up to 70C, the drying time needs to be extended. For TPU, I think I dried it for 3 days, and the CF I did for 1-2 days. The goal was to get it under 20% for my locale and average humidity in my house.I also changed to hardened steel 0.6mm nozzle for PA6-CF. Carbon fiber filaments are super abrasive and hardened steel nozzles are recommended. I have a hardened still extruder gear as well, but I haven't swapped that out. The larger nozzle size is also recommended to avoid clogging. You sacrifice fine detail with larger nozzle sizes. I just swap back to my 0.4mm steel for PLA prints as necessary. Swapping nozzles is easy, especially if you buy the entire hot-end assembly. I did just the nozzle and it took me about 20 minutes since I have to strip all of the parts off of the existing 0.4mm nozzle (ceramic heater, silicon sock, temperature gauge, fan). The whole hot-end swap would probably take 5 minutes. Don't forget to change the settings in the slicer for the new nozzle!Also as a caution, other materials have a higher risk of harmful air particulates. The "S" in ASA and ABS is styrene, which basically releases burnt Styrofoam fumes when printing. If you've ever thrown a Styrofoam cup into a camp fire, you know how terrible that is. I got the Bento Box mod, which uses HEPA filters + activated charcoal for filtering air. I also printed a HEPA filter container for the vent at the back of the printer. I didn't smell any harmful fumes with any of the prints I did. You may consider using a separate unoccupied room for prints or getting a good filtering system setup.As far as filament, I've tested Bambu, Sunlu, and Polymaker. I've had good results with each of them. Polymaker can be difficult in the AMS unit due to the cardboard spool. If it isn't round enough or if there are frayed edges it can have some difficulty spinning around in the AMS. There are some "adapters" you can print that go around the ring to make this better. I've printed some adapters in PLA and they work great. When you get rolls, pay attention to how they look and feel when you first get them. You want to be able to tell the difference because rolls left out in the open will absorb moisture from the air. Nothing will ruin your prints like printing with saturated filament. I started using vacuum-sealed bags + desiccant on most of my filament, but I think I'll transition to the cereal box containers + desiccant. Depending on the relative humidity of your storage location, it can take a few months before the filaments are greatly affected. And I also have the filament dryer that I can use to get them good again. Also the AMS unit has spots for desiccant packs, so you can use it as a sort of drying box as well.Bambu will recommend their glue sticks for plates, but the only time I actually needed glue was for the PA6-CF filament. And I just used an Elmer's Glue stick and that worked just fine. You don't need specialty glue. PLA and PLA+ adheres just fine on the textured PEI plate the P1S comes with. No glue needed.The AMS unit creates a lot of waste, aka filament poop. When doing multi-color prints, frequent filament changes cause a lot of waste due to the process. You can reduce it in the settings depending on your colors, but expect this. I've adjusted my settings a little for less waste, but it's still there. Consider if you are going from something like while to red. If you want the transition in the print to be crisp, you need to feed more of the color through so they don't mix before printing. I've printed a poop chute, but you want to make sure it doesn't get filled up and clogged. You can get errors in your print if that happens. Some people just have trash bins behind the printer it falls into.I love the P1S and readily recommend it. The ease of use is just such a huge thing if you follow the 3D printing world. So much time is spend fiddling with hardware and settings to get good prints that you just don't have with Bambu. Yes it's more expensive than other printers, but in my research I decided I wanted to spend more money up-front to avoid headache and frustration on the back-end. I've been printing for 6 months now and I haven't had any problems on it.I'd be happy to answer any questions.
This was an Amazing summery. Thank you on behalf of all the new people coming into 3d printing.
I'm a OG from the Ender 3 days. A lot has changed and somethings are the same.

I've been 3D printing since 2020. Started out on Creality machines and I've gone through 4 of them so far. I had a business up until 2022 when I decided to call it quits. I stopped 3D printing for 2 years and sold my printers. Got back into it like 3 months ago and bought the cheapest core x-y fast printer (500mm/s+). Then I bought the second cheapest one. I have to say, most printers are relatively tinker-free these days compared to the past. Right out of the box both printers print extremely well in terms of quality and I haven't printed a single part for either one of them.
Same I was shocked going from a still solid Ender 3 ( heavily modified) to a Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo( which i prefer over this bamboo).
Only reason I'm here helping is because I want new 3d printer consumers to know the 3d printing community is Massive, most things are user errors that can be fixed reading the wiki first, then go to the forums/ videos.
3d printing used to be very hands on. These new machines are Workhorses! But it best to teach the basics.

I would go with the S1 for the following reasons:1. Enclosed, less fumes (although safe for PLA, PETG) and less heat being let out.2. Less rocking, otherwise some tall prints can fall off when almost done due to the bedslinger rocking back and forth.3. Bigger Build Volume 256x256x256mm vs 250x250x260mm (although K3 firmware update in few months would allow bigger build volume than S1, 256x256x260mm)4. Less footprint (K3 takes up more space as your AMS will sit next to it as oppose to S1 where it sits on top)5. Built in Camera for live viewing (K3 doesnt have one)6. Better lighting for remote viewing.7. More fun mods available for S1 (vented riser, side pegboard,etc)I wouldnt buy Elegoo over S1 for the following reasons:1. Cannot remote print2. Poor Slicer3. Worse build quality vs S1 (cables are exposed and able tell it is a cheaper build)4. No AMS currently and even when it comes out, it will cost at least $150-200 and would still be limited to 4color printing versus 8colors on S1 (with purchase of another AMS)5. $300 without AMS vs $480 with AMS and 5KG of filaments for S1. When Elegoo comes out with their AMS, the total cost will surely exceed $480 S1 with 5kg of spools6. Much better support from anycubic. My elegoo came with heavy jittering and took a week for them to have me rip the whole base of the printer and go through so many testing. It just randomly worked at the end but didnt appreciate the fact that it failed the QC prior to shipping.
I second this. +1 for the S1

Hi there.You said you own most of the printers i've been looking at.People have recommended the:Anycubic S1 with AcePro (AMS) + 5KG of Filaments for $480 Anycubic Kobra 3 (Bambu A1 equivalent) with AcePro (AMS) for $310And I was looking at both the Elegoo CC and this P1S.I understand that they're different price points, but I just want to spend enough to get a good experience.What's your take on what I should buy as a first time buyer?Thanks for your time!
Mind sharing the link for the s1 combo+5KG. I'll but another one the spot to be able to print with 8 colors.

Bambu Lab is about to have a 3rd Anniversary sale starting today the 24th I think starting at 10am until July 15th so you have some time to think about it. If you go directly through them you might get some free gifts too. Great printers, I currently have one of each of them
just curious what the free gifts are?

Been wanting to get my first 3d printer and just now read about how many of them usually break down or require tons of troubleshooting out of the box except for bambu. is this really the case? I was looking at the neptune 4 max because i thought it would be nicer to have larger capacity. But i guess it doesnt matter if i can just never actually get something to print or print correctly. Any input would be appreciated.

Update: Each of my A1 combo purchases came with not 1 but 3 gifts. boat engine + led lamp kit + hydrometer = about $15 worth of free stuff. The led lamp kit and hydrometer came in a separate package the following day.

I ordered two A1 Combo printers during the anniversary sale, and they arrived in just two days since they shipped from a Houston warehouse. Each printer included a "free" $5 wind-up boat motor, which feels more like a $0.50 novelty item. Don't let the flashy "free gifts" graphic influence your buying decision too much.

No problem! I try to reply to Bambu deals when they hit the front page. A lot of people not into 3d printing may be considering this deal, and I want to provide info from that perspective.

I've had the printer for quite a while now, and it is still running great. One thing I have to be careful of is cleaning the plate. Oils from my hands will cause adhesion problems with print (i.e. the print will move around on the plate and ruin the print). I'm careful of not touching the plate for it to last longer, but eventually I'll need to clean the plate. A quick scrub with soap + water and a soft bristle brush works just fine.

Something else I've run into is with the AMS. If a filament gets "wet," it become brittle and breaks easily. Sometimes a roll of filament is too wet and breaks somewhere inside of the AMS unit. I have to partially disassemble the unit to retrieve the filament. Bambu has video walkthroughs of the entire process to help. If you can, it's helpful to manually feed filament through the tubes to try to push out the broken filament. If it breaks near the hotend, you may need to manually heat up the hotend and hit the feed button in the slicer or control panel to feed the rest of the filament through.

Read my big post. You can have your first print running in about 20 minutes of opening the box. I would consider Bambu printers the "Apple of 3d printers." It comes in a nice, polished package that just works with little to no tinkering, especially starting out.

I would highly advise a printer with auto bed leveling to make 3d printing enjoyable.

Tons of great info in this thread for a crash course on modern 3d printing. What would be the choices for all the conveniences of out of the box good results like Bambu Labs, but without being tied to a proprietary cloud?

To be clear: if you print ANYTHING that would upset you being used by others or even sold commercially by someone else while giving you nothing in return, it still applies. If you print replicas of open source things or contribute to the open source community, I agree, nothing to worry about. Certainly don't "sell" yourself or your creations and works for nothing. You and your works have value and you should chase every penny…. Including those pennies a corporation wants to take from you.

Cloud is someone else's computer that they control, not you.

As far as this printer: really great and very fast print jobs. We love ours and my kids spend more time printing and less time repairing. It is invaluable for that reason. We do use ours offline as we create our own files and it works fine.

It's not just privacy concerns. If(when) their servers stop working for us, your printer becomes a brick. Can you even switch to a LAN only mode with the latest firmware?

The printer can still work without an internet connection, and LAN only mode is still in the latest firmware.
