The Verge got official answers to some questions and IMHO the responses are all wrong.

https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/21/24349031/bambu-3d-printer-update-authentication-filament-subscription-lock-answers

Will Bambu publicly commit to never requiring a subscription in order to control its printers and print from them over a home network?

For our current product line, yes.

Will Bambu publicly commit to never restricting the use of third-party filament in any way, shape, or form?

For our current product line, yes.

Will Bambu publicly commit to offering and keeping the local Developer mode available in any future printers it releases?

We cannot commit to features for non-existent future printers.

Will Bambu publicly commit to its current and future printers permanently being remotely controllable over LAN without user account or Internet access?

For current models: Yes.

Basically it was corp speech for "DRM on filament, subscriptions, and forced cloud mode will come in the next models". Otherwise they wouldn't have put such emphasis on "current models" and completely leave the door open for anything that might come out next month

When a company or person is telling you who they are, listen to them.

So my current model P1S is safe from all this bs?

Well, they say that it is. Whether you believe them or not is up to you.

Their terms of use still reserve their right to block your printer; see article 7.4.
