You should definitely block it from having internet access. I don't see any way how they'd prevent us from printing when not on the latest firmware if it can't phone home.
Try out OrcaSlicer. Same UI as Bambu Studio, actually open source and has more features. Can even login to your Bambu account to sync your filament settings.
That's my exact setup and it's great. I wouldn't trade it for any other printer. It being enclosed is fantastic.
It very much is a printer you don't need to pay attention to. Works as it should out of the box. Only thing you need to do is some maintenance. Cleaning, greasing some rods, etc... It doesn't tell you when to do it like the X1C (from what I've heard) but greasing rods is like an every 3 months thing. All their maintenance on what and when to do it is on the Bambu website.
As it's my first printer I'm not aware of any issues after a long hiatus. All I can say is that I often don't print for a month or 2 and it prints just fine when I get back to it.
I've only ever had issues with the AMS where it would snap the filament but that has only ever happened when my filament was almost empty and thus very light. I should've either weighed it down or welded the leftover on another roll. Plus that doesn't happen if you're running out mid print. Only ever happened when I initiated a new print with the almost-empty roll.
Well damn, I had no clue red essence did that. I thought it only unlocked your move set. Never played without it so I assumed that was just the default speed.
Yeah, I hope they change that, too. There were a lot of things that made me dislike IG in Wilds but that was one of the bigger ones.
Ooh interesting, thanks for the explanation. When I played IG the attacks felt slower than what I remember so thought it was that. I could've just remembered wrong. Hopefully they do another beta so we can see the changes ourselves.
Yup, listen to this. I had problems with my PETG layers coming apart, especially the first few. I lowered the print and fan speed drastically. Fixed all the problems I had.
It's a scam, anyway. I did it once with Progressive when I got my first car. Had good ratings, was promised a solid discount. Next bill comes and it's the same amount as the previous bill. I call them and they say that the rate went up but with the discount it conveniently went back to the old rate.
I have been summoned.
