Last year I said I'd probably never recommend another Bambu Lab printer again. I still use my P1S, but after Bambu Lab started pushing their always-connected cloud solution as the new default: I blocked the printer from the Internet via my OPNsense Firewall I stopped updating the firmware I locked the printer into Developer mode I deleted Bambu Studio and started using OrcaSlicer I had to do that to keep it under my control, instead of Bambu's.

      Not quite yet. He’s basically said he’s ready to back a legal challenge to it.

      Louis is encouraging someone to keep doing what they’re doing despite Bambu sending someone a cease and desist and Louis will provide some funding for legal support if Bambu keeps pushing. But there isn’t anything going directly after them yet.

        You’re right. Maybe it better in general to let other people fight while he supports, this way more people learn to fight back.

          The former poster was incorrect in saying he was asking for donations (he was asking for people to say they would donate, if the need were to arise)

          However, a few hours ago, he uploaded a followup video stating he has uploaded the code in question himself, and is inviting Bambu Labs to challenge him legally. In the video he did mention where donations could be made but I don’t recall him specifically asking for donations for this particular cause.

            he has uploaded the code in question himself

            Uploaded it to…GitHub. Where Bambu will send them some legal threat and they’ll take it down like they always do.

              Yeah, I don’t think Louis Rossman has the means to host his own website or upload it somewhere else.

                  I know he does. I was saying that the code getting taken down from GitHub would be nowhere near the “end of the battle”. He would just rehost it elsewhere.
