This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations. > > tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out. > > More info: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxIMpZTkXqFo0H6pDwhZpdYqMYvLhPvWA5?lc=UgxA-4LYvwrnonXuXsZ4AaABAg >
You can use any filament you want, it works fine on LAN and SD-cards without online account. There was some debate on the fucked up firmware updating thing, but they did backtrack on this, no?
Sure, but your machine is also 3x the price (at least on my country).
That being said, my next printer will also be a prusa, but mostly because it's a European company. I'm also for Foss 3dp, but I also don't want to be caught up in misinformation - please enlighten me if there are serious issues actually happening and not just "well Bambu might do so and so in the future".
yeah they backtracked. They had something TO backtrack.
