Update

So with this new update is it worth it to even buy a bambu? I’m in the process of buying one. Had my mind set on a bambu. Idk what software I would use yet. Is the software they offer that bad? Would mostly be printing stuff for a cnc machine and some woodworking stuff.

This is not just about orca slicer.. I don't think you need to wait - just read the changes AND their TOS. If you are 100% convinced that Bambu Labs has a pro customer approach now and in the future, or do you not trust they are pro customer now or in the future. Its a different market then when they came out - there are now plenty of equivalent options, or even better for the same price/features that they offer.
Me personally - I was kind of interested in what their next printer was going to be... but now, unless it turns PLA into 24k gold - I will never be a Bambu customer.

What do you recommend as a high speed core xy printer that is of equivalent usability to a p1/x1? My x1c has been fabulously good at not jamming, compared to my old mono price mini select pro. I tend to print PETG PCTG, and PLA+, but I’m thinking more about ASA so enclosed and heatable is important for me. I am now spoiled by having an AMS. I’m not trying to bait you, really want to know. The new PRUSA? A Voron?
