I just want a printer that doesn't require you to upload your gcode to their cloud server before getting permission from them to print.
Even on Bambu’s locked-down firmware you can just toss the gcode on the SD card and print that way if you don’t want to deal with their cloud service. Or throw it on a flash drive and plug into the USB port.
My previous printer could ONLY function via SD card, so I’m kinda used to that anyway.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Bambu locking down their firmware and forcing everyone through their cloud service is shitty. But you can print without it still.
For now
"Our cloud analytics tell us that everyone uses cloud to print, so we are removing SD card slots from our printers."
