===Custom firmware development===
Discussions within the community highlight interest in developing custom firmware as an alternative to Bambu's official updates. One prominent project mentioned in forums is the development of custom firmware for the X1-series printers, such as the "X1Plus Custom Firmware"<ref name="bambulab-forum-134549/12" />. This firmware aims to:
*Restore direct network control and third-party slicer compatibility.
*Re-enable previously available features such as motion-system adjustments, temperature control, and AMS settings without requiring proprietary software.
*Provide users with greater flexibility in integrating printers with home-automation systems and workflows.

However, custom firmware development faces significant challenges, including:
*Limited documentation and proprietary hardware components, which complicate reverse-engineering efforts.
*The potential voiding of warranties and risks of bricking devices.
*Legal concerns regarding intellectual property and bypassing manufacturer-imposed restrictions.
