Cloud outage causes Bambu 3D printers to start printing on their own
I own a Bambu P1S and Bambu does not deserve the benefit of the doubt in this case. The cloud (anti-)feature is entirely unnecessary and gives them free license to use all recordings from the webcam in the printer.<p>The printer has to be connected to the “cloud” in order to access the webcam, control the internal lights, and control the print head and heated bed from their Bambu app. However, part of the initial setup process requires you to connect to the printer via Bluetooth in order to setup the wifi connection in the first place! Clearly it IS possible to communicate with the printer without an internet connection.<p>They intentionally ruined the user experience in LAN-only mode to persuade people to connect their printers to the Bambu cloud service.
