Flashforge’s recent threats to the 3D2A community have revived the discussion around privacy in printing. How do we ensure that our printers aren’t spying on us, blocking us from printing and tattling on us to the feds?

I made a video reviewing three techniques you can use to protect your privacy and keep yourself safe when using Bambu printers. These techniques can extend conceptually to other printers too.

    Lil annoyed there’s no cfw for P1s/p1p yet, seems like the platform is perfect for it

      It has to do with the compute. They may speak the same protocols to Bambu network services and have similar underlying drivers, but the X1 has a full fucking ARM Linux board in that head unit where the P1S runs a random microcontroller. x1plus is a custom Linux distro with an ARM bootloader, not too dissimilar to a RasPi.

        I didn’t know that the x1c was powered by a sbc, nvm I fully understand it now
