Bambu Connect's Authentication X.509 Certificate and Private Key Extracted

Bambu really alienated their entire customer base. I have quite a few of their printers for my business but will be looking elsewhere from now on. Most others in the business will also. Trust is key. When you are investing in equipment for your business. Same with John Deere. It's very shortsighted.

I wanted to pick up a printer this year and the Bambu p1s was at the top of my list. I’ve been fiddling with 3d printers for a decade and I want something that is just going to work and not break the bank. Any suggestions on a comparable substitute?

I've heard a lot of people recommending the K1 as a similar substitute.

I might check it out too, while I like my X1C...Bambu might be overstaying there welcome in my house.

And the K2 just came out...

General consensus that I’ve heard online is that the K1 is nowhere near the same league - cheap unreliable clone would be the most common description.

I think the K2 will be much closer

I own a K2. It's much better than the K1, and pretty close to Bambu in terms of quality (I own several Bambu machines)

I really like the two Elegoo neptune Max's I have (there are smaller models in the line also). I've also been eyeing the new Creality printers if you need an ams

Prusa recently released a CoreXY printer that should be comparable if not more robust and capable. It is also much more open: https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-core-one/

What are you comparing to?

The X1 + AMS is pretty price comperable to the Core One + MMU, and is pretty feature-matched.

Ended up getting an open box Bambu p1s from Microcenter for $500 today.

... Well, not their entire customer base - according to Slant 3d the scuttlebutt is that Bambu sold over a million printers last year...
