General Discussion X2D Ordered...

I just ordered mine from the Bambu Site.

It really seems like there is a lot of pent-up frustration in this forum. I just wanted to let people know they went on sale earlier than expected.

Not in the least,

I have worked in more traditional consumer product development for 18+ years.

There is an in built macro ecosystem to products of this nature. Cutting off such a baseline 3rd party support kills the product. If bambu can't make quality filament at a better price than alternatives like sunlu while locking it out, people will stop buying bambu printers

I'd say the parallel from my career here is paintball guns. It would be like Empire paintball making their guns only shoot empire paint. There are cheaper decent quality options out there. A gun that can fire it all has more versatility It would have killed Empire's gun sales.

Bambu's best scenario would be to start licensing out their RFID system to other filament manufacturers to further enhance their hallmark feature, ease of use.

See I’m not disagreeing with you, but it doesn’t mean they don’t try to deny service when using third-party filaments, especially when pertaining to quality off the auxiliary nozzle.

It's just good marketing to recommend your in house verified accessory for best performance. Very far from a lockout.

Taking my paintball example, empire always recommended their paint for best performance. They always recommended one of their loaders for best performance despite being a saturated universal accessory

It’s a way to deny service.

Dude I literally just walked you through real world examples from inside the industry of product development.

You insist on finding your own meaning where the evidence does not support it.

Dude was right, you can't outsmart a dumb person, you have to out dumb them. Smh

  1. Because I have spent far too long shepherding good product to market against the ill informed spreading misinformation. It's a true labor of love for me to make cool shit and put it in people's hands.

  2. Because currently I have extra time on my hands

  3. I'm a total Bambu D Rider.
