you can still get 3rd party hardware (pates, extruders, hotends, ect.), but the SW... after have other brands for years and futzing with all sorts of opensores solutions, nah, i want SW designed for the tool that does exactly what it should every time.
as for print jobs through the cloud... i'm much more concerned about my camera feeds, they can have my print jobs
Community Reviews
The X1C Combo is a mature, reliable flagship 3D printer that stands out for plug and play use, strong print quality, and a touchscreen that feels like a real upgrade. The AMS combo and Bambu ecosystem make it especially appealing for hobby work, with features like spaghetti detection, skipped failed objects in batch jobs, and helpful chamber cooling for ASA and ABS. The main knocks are its age, the lidar being of limited value on some materials, and concerns about closed software, cloud handling, and future parts availability. A solid pick if you want a polished machine rather than a project.
first-time 3D printer buyers who want a "tool" that just works because one commenter said their X1C has been a work horse for about a year and called the deal great.
hobbyists who print mostly single-material (or only occasionally need multi-material) because one commenter said the X1C is a very reliable printer for years, and the P2S upgrades are minimal aside from the nozzle design.
people who want to use ASA/ABS and care about chamber cooling because a commenter said they use the X1C's lidar and that the chamber fan is helpful for ASA/ABS.
buyers who want to avoid constant tinkering and use the printer for household fixes and hobbies because one commenter contrasted their DIY printer (full-time hobby to keep it printing) with their Bambu as a practical tool they use around the house.
people who batch prints and want features that reduce wasted filament because one commenter said their X1C saved them a ton of filament via spaghetti detection and can skip failed objects in batches.
buyers who rely on lidar for first-layer reliability on ABS/ASA because one commenter said the lidar is often useless for ABS/ASA since it constantly gets dirty and recommends watching the first layer instead.
buyers who want to keep print jobs fully off cloud services because one commenter said they won't have their print jobs flowing through Chinese cloud servers.
buyers who need third-party parts/software compatibility because one commenter complained Bambu has been breaking compatibility with third-party parts and software and said they don't understand why anyone would want to buy into that ecosystem.
buyers who need an exhaust vent for venting outside because one commenter pointed out the printer lacks an exhaust vent, which is a problem for users who vent exhaust outside.
buyers who are sensitive to firmware "nerfs" or locked-down functionality because one commenter said firmware updates can break previously working functionality (like Panda XTouch displays and OrcaSlicer control).

I am not Bambu's demographic, and I get that. My only printer is an Ender 3 V2, and for all the hate those get, it is extremely easy to work on, and I'm closing in on 7000 print hours on that machine (close to 6h/day on average since I got it), so it's definitely not a "broken down turd" that sits around collecting dust that so many people claim (and it also is not running firmware provided by Creality). Yes, it's definitely time for me to upgrade to something better and bigger. Of course, the further I go down the rabbit hole looking at current machines offered by any of the major brands (Bambu, Creality, Elegoo, Anycubic, Flashforge, Sovol, etc.), how bad the customer service is with some of those manufacturers, the need for proprietary replacement parts, etc., and being unwilling to pay the "Prusa Tax," I'm slowly resigning myself to the fact that likely the only printer I'll truly be happy with is probably going to be a Voron (with a Prusa XL being about the only off-the-shelf unit that would be a possibility, if it weren't so expensive).

I love hacking too, but I understand that's at my own risk. A lot of people don't understand that, so when costs go up we were faced with either lowering costs or raising prices. We did not want to raise prices for the vast majority of buyers who just want to use the hardware as it was designed, so we lowered costs by making it much harder to hack. It's unfortunate, but it's a tale as old as time... a few dishonest people (trying to get their hacking mistakes repaired/replaced at the manufacturer's expense) spoil the fun for everyone.
Edited to clarify what I meant by dishonest.

Ya, I understand that frustration. I work for a company that did something similar. I can't speak for sony, but I know in our case we were burning a lot of money on support and warranty claims from users who were trying to hack their hardware and messing it up.<br />

On another note, I'm in the black Friday wagon now!
I was more getting at the fact that things that used to work have been broken by Bambu issuing firmware updates to printers (Panda XTouch displays, controlling the printer via OrcaSlicer, etc.). Removal of functionality that used to exist with so-called firmware "upgrades" is never OK (heck, it's been 15+ years since Sony dropped the bomb on Playstation 3's to remove the ability to install/run Linux, and that was the catalyst to change me from being a diehard Sony fanboy to having not purchased one single new electronic device with a Sony logo on it since then). Too many people just get caught up in the "right now convenience" and don't think about the fact that closed stuff definitely can always be clamped down even more in the future.<br />

has nothing to do with the "right now" generation... has everything to do with BambuLabs making a home printer that's truly a tool, a tool that just does its job without modification and tweaking. that's why i went to them after years and years with Creality printers, back in the early days, when i had mostly hate love-hate relationship with 3D printing
the Voron's are impressive machines for sure... but in no way comparable to the "plug-n-play" functionality of a BambuLabs unit. if i was buying a machine to play with and tweak to my hearts content, and was still in my 30s, it would be a Voron all day.
it is funny you mention the PrusaXL though... that thing was thrown out to the market, Prusa basically said "it's open, you guys finish it!!!" it was a joke and a half of a product launch.
The upgrades that the P2S offers are minimal, the biggest being the nozzle design. But let me offer a counter point: The X1C design has been in use for years. The bugs have been worked out.
