      Smelled funny from very early on. I wonder if now all those creators on the bambu payrole will pretend like nothing happened. Channels like CNC kitchen or Tom Sanladerer come to mind. But also 99% of all other channels, bambu seems to be sponsoring a shitton of channels. At least Jeff spoke out immediately. I suspect most will keep quiet.

      F off with this stuff. Not everyone who bought one was fully aware of all the potential downfalls.

        You should search this guy. I have heard time imagining he couldn’t have such foresight, but if that’s the case even more of a reason to unlike and unsubscribe - there are plenty of tech influencers that did and they are more likely to advise better for other products then.

          Jeff from the OOP video? I will, I just mainly meant I got one a while ago and it seemed like a good choice at the time. I wasn’t into the hobby before that, and wasn’t well-versed in the topic. I’m sad to hear that it’s become this, but at the time it seemed like a good idea.

          I’m sure many others were in the same boat. I just don’t think we should shame the some of us who didn’t do enough research before buying one.

      When I bought my Bambu they were simply the best out there in just a bout every way. other company’s printers were unreliable and Prusa sat around on their laurels for years and even now have only partially caught up.

          They were the best at actually 3d printing. Which is what the device is for when you get down to it.

            It’s a choice of values and future thinking. I understand the average user choosing Bambu, but for a 3d printing figurehead knowledgable about the industry and influencing the decisions of others, I think this was a poor choice initially. I bought a prusa probably around the same time he bought the Bambu, knowing full well that the Bambu had better performance specs. It’s not like I was getting blown out of the water with my 3d printing though. Every day I have less regrets about that choice.
