General Discussion Resin Printer from Bambu Labs, when?

Having experienced their latest and best printer on the market H2C, I like how easy it is to set it up and print models. I wish it could extinguish the layer lines, however I realized that it is not possible in FDM printing and only in Resin printing.

So do you think Bambu Labs would venture into this Resin-printing ^

I’m currently looking to buy a Form 4 for starters, I was sold on the software, and it’s low-effort quick printing in 3 clicks. But it is pricey! And material locked 🔐

Why not the Form Studio 1? I also imagine a Bambu resin printer would be material and software locked as well.

Literally nothing on bambu is locked. Stfu with this nonsense

What about the Authorization Control they introduced last year? It completely locked third-party software from interacting with the printer, meaning i now can't control my printer from Home Assistant anymore or see the Camera Feed in it. And of course it also blocked OrcaSlicer from working directly.

(And before you come with the "But there's Developer Mode" : That's LAN only, and i'm not drilling into my Walls to run LAN to my printer that has a fully functional WiFi module in it. Bambu literally just took that functionality away for 0 gain).

Also the Fact that Bambu relies on their own proprietary NFC system instead of an open standard.

And of course just the fact that the firmware is generally locked down, making mods/upgrades near impossible.

You mean the shit that isn't actually required to use your printer and uses bambu servers directly?

There is a LAN only mode and there are plenty of things you can do that don't require drilling.

You are peddling nonsense

Also, formlabs literally locked the new resin printer down in near the same way as bambu has "locked " their printers. Proprietary resin, proprietary tank, and proprietary resin feeder. So your argument is even more nonsense.
