Just sounds like they're saying the "slippery slope" is false, but everything else stated was true.
3d party accessories are being disabled, and you can only use network connectivity if you connect to the cloud. They'll have a solution for using Orca Slicer, but it still needs to phone home to work.
Glad I stayed away from Bambu and went with a printer that doesn't need anything outside my network to use all the features I paid for.
What did you end up buying? I'm leaning towards Prusa again, was looking at Creality but I'm not wanting to tinker around much with that stuff anymore.
I got a Qudi q1 pro and I've been really happy with it. I didn't have to do any tuning or anything, just ran the the built-in bed leveling and input shaping and it ran great out of the box. I've had to do very minimal tuning to get amazing quality prints. I'm coming from an OG ender 3 though so my bar was pretty low.
I had a geeetech i3 pro b so the bar is realllllly low for me haha! The nozzle calibrated itself into the bed so hard I think it bent the goddamn rails.
