I was definitely suspicious, but now that they're partnering to create community firmwares, it feels like all that suspicion is unwarranted. I think people just couldn't believe a printer could work so well (and of course there's the xenophobia).

You caught me. I just came here to rant. 25Mbps for 4K is absurd. I would take a higher bitrate HD stream any day.

No one ever talks about bitrate. The bitrate on a blue ray is amazing. You can see the grain of the film, it's as close as you're going to get to a film print (outside of a ripped Blu-ray).

Streaming is garbage. 4K streaming is a lie. Not only are we not equipped (in the USA) with high enough bandwidth, but high bandwidth costs cloud based companies money. So there's an incentive to make the product worse.

The media distribution paradigm we've fallen into is the worse.

Oh good to know. I do think as a toy printer for your kids, the A1 mini looks great. And assuming you have kids, then you don't have time, making the premium price more attractive.

I hear you on that. I ended up getting a Qidi Max 3 for that reason.

A1 mini is recalled

They have community firmware now and the A1 is $550 bucks with AMS that has no printer poop for multi material. Not that it matters to me, I just grabbed a Qidi X Max 3 for the print volume (and because it was open-ish Klipper).

Ah I see! Did you see Bambu has an open source-ish option now with the community firmware?

Four hours? That seems awfully slow. You say you're printing this for your store? I would think you'd want to get a Bambu A1.

Same, but I use double click. Send like single click is a lot of mouse dragging.

I like bucket bikes. Check out the Yuba super cargo.

They're all text config driven. Check out archcraft, dude sells arch presets for a lot of rolling managers and you can donate 25 cents to get one.
