Re: Hold Downs
You yourself are stating that if we (you) are concerned about stealing code (or designs) then you don¡¯t use Bambu Studio¡ then decline to say what you use! LOL!
Regardless of what printer you want to use or not use, that¡¯s up to you just like it¡¯s up to others to decide what they want to go with.

This and as other¡¯s have stated SD card are two options for not using the cloud.Also we? do not use?Bambu studio if we are concerned with someone stealing code, there is a work around.... I'll let you do your own research to find out what to use....But Bambu studio is very good,I mean no offense, it?just seems the old timer FOG guys are quick to provide critical feedback without concern to others.....I can say this now because there are other FOG members that deliberately do not respond to the Fog membership questions.Now of course,? in texting or written responses?it is easy to mistake attitude.?Which is why we should go overboard and be tactful and kind to others with the written wordLastly, I will resume "my monitor only and not reply"? to any FOG messages...I can get what I need from Sawmill Creek Forum, Finehomebuilding, the Felder technicians and several other forums that are proving as valuable as the?FOG.??I'm guessing next I will be banned from the FOG which I can live with....I have the alternative addresses of the 6 or so friends I have developed?over the last few months.If you feel the above comments do not affect you, then please just ignore it.?Best Regards?On Fri, Apr 5, 2024 at 10:52?AM Brian Lamb <blamb11@...> wrote:Well, you design your part, and then what software slices it? Bambu Studio, correct? You can create your STL anywhere, but as soon as you import that into Bambu Studio to slice it and send it to your printer, which is cloud connected, Bambu has the info from what I understand. Why else would someone have taken the time to come up with X1Plus to jailbreak the situation? Even if you sneaker net the files to the printer with your SD card, the printer itself is cloud connected.As for the Prusa being an antique, I don¡¯t have the same feelings about that. We seem to have some very strong opinions in Bambu vs. Everyone else in the 3D printing world, but I made my choices based on a few things. I like the robust design of the Prusa, larger capacity and especially the tool changing heads¡ the idea of poop chutes and lots of wasted time and filament to get multi-material or multi-color prints just doesn¡¯t seem like the best way to go. Did Prusa shoot themselves in the foot with some software issues that weren¡¯t up to par with the mechanical aspects of the machine, yes, I think they did. But, I¡¯d much rather flash a new version of software (with tons of community support by the way) than have an obsolete mechanically printer.My original thoughts were to build a Rat-Rig, I like the mechanics of that printer¡ but fooling with wires and software at the level of build it yourself that those machines require isn¡¯t something I felt capable of.Regardless, the world of 3D printers is moving so fast and furious that it¡¯s hard to say where we will be in a year or two.On Apr 4, 2024, at 9:33?PM, sjglaser1 <sjglaser1@...> wrote:Brian,For those unfamiliar with Bambu printers.....You can load your STL. files/designs on an SD card and then? load the file directly in the Bambu Printer via the SD card slot.?We never use any cloud....no matter.We use the SD card just about exclusively.From Bambus website:Our printers support a micro SD card of up to 2TB if formatted using the printer option,?supported in FAT32 format.On Thu, Apr 4, 2024 at 10:19?PM Chris Stahl <accounts@...> wrote:Unfortunately for the Prusa owners, the Bambu printers have made them pretty much antiquated. Same for most printers on the market. The introduction of their printers was pretty much a leap forward. I have many, many printers and I always go back to my Bambu printers. The only reason I use my Voron is due to volume. It's 400x400x400mm.
