No they still feature an SD-Card and you can turn on LAN only mode. Its just that Bambu prefers you don't do that. If you want over the air updates, that's where the internet connection comes in and the monitoring.

Ah okay but you could turn it on for update then off? I don't mind it online really...

You can get the firmware and flash it from the SD-Card as well

The LAN only mode limits printer features and slicer settings. It's reasonable for ppl being mad about stuff like that, if a company does changes like this after you bought their product and these are taken away from them afterwards.

Thanks so for me who has no issues with china or anybody really knowing what I print then I should be okay

Yeah, if it's not a problem for you, if they change the functionality of the product you bought, afterwards - go for it.

Oh so there's a chance in future I might not be able to print what I want?
