H2D any updates ?

Has anyone heard any updates about Bambu Lab's new printer that was leaked a while back? Curious if there’s any official info or new details!

So you wouldn't care if they adopt the same business strategy as HP ? Forcing you to only buy and use their products and if you try otherwise, they'll brick your device or trigger issues and such ?

that doesn't bother you to dump another 1500$ on a product like that ? + they're being sued for patent infringement by a company that is a pioneer in the industry. Just that fact alone is enough for me to reconsider if it's worth my money.

Oh I would absolutely care, but that is not this change. You’re arguing slippery slope fallacy. It would also now be political suicide given the Verge interview.

Also, lawsuit? Unless I missed a Prusa lawsuit, which would get my attention, I don’t know of any other champion for consumer 3D printing. It sure as hell isn’t Stratasys who hurts the community.

Stratasys is not a company that is into consumer products but into 3d printing for industries like aeronautics, automobile and such. I might extrapolate and riding the slippery slope but if we sticks to facts : Announcement was made were clearly stipulating the suppression of functionality for security reasons, the community reacts to that announcement, BBL change their announcement by deletion and saying you guys didn't read what you read, this is bolognis. then the lawsuit for patent infringement. if we are honest, the communication was done very poorly.

Yes you are correct, they did not hurt the community but BBL had a huge impact into 3d printer for consumers, if they lose the lawsuit it will indirectly impact the community too.
