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.

Jeff Geerling criticizes Bambu Lab for threatening legal action against the developer of OrcaSlicer-bambulab, a fork that allows printing without routing through Bambu's cloud. The fork used verbatim AGPL-licensed code from Bambu Studio itself, yet Bambu accused the developer of impersonation and security risks. Geerling argues this violates the open source social contract, noting the irony that Bambu's own fork once caused telemetry to hit Prusa's servers without similar retaliation. He recommends skipping Bambu printers altogether and notes Louis Rossmann pledged $10,000 to help the developer fight the legal threats.
