Looks like Bambu is getting more enshittified. I am so glad I didn’t let my recent frustration at my clumsiness with my Prusa steer me into Bambu-land.

Ooh, that XL is certainly interesting. The main thing i want to design/print would be custom tool trays, so fairly shallow objects but wider and longer than the average 3d printers ive seen will handle. Things roughly laptop sized i can easily slide into my backpack
If you have time to be a little bit patient, they just announced their new core XY design printer due out in the next few months.
He mentioned ethernet though. Do not believe this will have that either.
If you are talking about the Core One, here is the connectivity of it from the Prusa website:
“Prusa CORE One is equipped with a LAN port and a detachable Wi-Fi module (Wi-Fi can be set up a with an NFC tap). It integrates seamlessly with both Prusa Connect and Prusa App, so you always have a complete overview of your printer. However, the printer can be operated in a full offline mode without any compromise. You can even flash the firmware from a USB drive.”

I love my Prusa printers, but I am not a “fanboy” from the standpoint of shitting on any other printer that is not a Prusa. It’s just that I like them and keep buying them.
I think Bambu printers bring a lot of features to users at a really low price compared to any other manufacturer.
Are these both open source too?
I’m honestly not sure if they are or not, but neither are necessary. You can go straight to the IP address of your printer and manage it from the lan.
The XL does appear to have ethernet. The guide for networking it also has ethernet instructions
Interesting, my Mk4 has wired ethernet
