    The thing is -and neither Bambu nor their shills and fanboys understand that-: People bought a printer that could do both: Use the cloud and manage it at home or use Orca/Panda,etc.

    Now they have to choose one of the sides.

    And this is a major flaw - legally speaking it is a major malfunction.

    We will see how this ends up.

      Might be worth grabbing a copy of 1.3 and seeing if you can force a downgrade, since 1.4 released earlier the same month. No idea how far back the premeditation goes on this.

      I’ll be doing the same.

        Let me know if you find the 1.03 firmware version as I can’t seem to find it anywhere on their site. The latest for the a1 mini is 1.04 and it was released on December 10th.

        If you find 1.03 please post it in here! :)

    I’m pretty sure I was successful with putting both my Bambu printers on LAN mode and setting up my router to block their connection to the internet before potentially unknowingly updating to this garbage firmware version. We’ll see, definitely not buying another Bambu for the foreseeable future. I bet Prusa is pretty happy about this decision from Bambu.

      Did you just block the device by mac? Or only specific endpoints?

        Someone on youtube (possibly Louis Rossman) said that they made it so you couldn’t revert back but I don’t know whether or not that’s true.
