Its really disappointing seeing the 3DP community continue to embrace Bambu after the inevitable closure and self-proclaimed Apple strategy. Disappointing, but not really surprising.
I hadn’t heard of their company culture until recently, but as long as they’re being reviewed positively, then they’re not going to lose customers. I don’t personally own one of their printers, nor do I plan to, but online reviews are what moves units.
Bambu heavily invested in “reviews” with asshole Youtubers.
They have indeed been carpetbombing YouTube. It’s always off-putting when a woodworking youtuber with notoriously dubious computer skills suddenly receives an AMS printer and becomes an expert in fusion 360 and iterative design.
Clearly Bambu is providing design services for them so that their “I’ve got a printer, let’s find a use for it” shop improvement project is portrayed in a positive light instead of the youtuber bitching about the learning curve and frustration of failed prints. It’s disingenuous and slimy.
Fuck Bambu.
The accusation that Jarczak bypassed their authorization controls in violation of section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Why the fuck is the DMCA even a factor when the parties are in Poland and China?
Bambu has offices in the US, and sells products there, and orca is also distributed there, so Bambu is trying to take advantage of the laws they think will benefit them.
However, DMCA wouldn’t apply according to the video. Mr. French says Bambu effectively left the back door unlocked.
Yeah I run Orca for my A1 because Bambu Studio is awful about connecting to it in LAN mode. Orca can connect and my home-assistant can connect but they can’t figure out how to get their own damn software to. Most likely to force you to use cloud.
