The key issue remains that Bambu Lab wants to decide what use of the printer is "authorized" or which software/accessories are "legitimate". | Bambu Lab's recent statement [1] as of January 20, 2025 seems like a half-hearted attempt to address the concerns of their customers, but it ultimately falls short in several key areas.
