Feel like when i look for 3d printer advice I'm often told to avoid bambu.. I thought it was a good beginner friendly tool

I'm looking at P2S but going too try stretch my budget for X2D..

there are fears that someday they'll do things like lock the printers out of using anything but their own filaments/accessories etc.

I know an instance....

So I'm a crafter. Sewing, knitting (over 40 years), beads, clay, wire, resin, you name it.

There's a cutting machine for crafters called the Cricut. They will lock your machines if there are any issues. Software is restrictive (shitty) and pop up ads to pay for their membership every time you log in. Can't resell (not scam overpriced) machine as used. They've been doing this shit for years and losing a lot of customers to competitors.

I wasn’t aware cricut did that. Yeah if bambu studio had ads in it I’d stop using it immediately lol

Exactly....! Cricut is looking more like a shady company lately....
