Reminds me of, “A man in Moscow goes up to a newsstand and buys a newspaper… He then glances at the front page, then turns aside and tosses the whole newspaper straight into the trash. Next day, he turns up, and does the same thing. Buys it, glances at the front page, throws it in the trash. Next day, same thing. The newsstand worker is increasingly puzzled, but doesn’t say anything. But eventually, after a couple of weeks of this, he can’t take it. “I’m sorry, friend, but I must ask: why do you buy the paper every day and then just look at the front page and throw it out?” “Oh, I’m just checking for something.” “OK, but: what are you checking for?” “I’m checking for a particular obituary.” “But sir, you don’t even open the newspaper! The obituaries aren’t even on the front page!” “Oh, believe me, the one I’m waiting for will be.”

3DPrinting@lemmy.world•Bambu Lab Controversy Deepens: Firmware Update Sparks BacklashEnglish
5·10 个月前I’d argue that 5-10% are some of their most valuable users though. The creative one that make models, run YouTube channels or influence purchasing decisions for schools or businesses. Voron has a huge name in the business without spending a penny on advertising due to those people. While they make the best bang for the buck printers out there right now, they can be easily knocked off their perch if they’re not careful. What open source hath given them, open source can taketh away. e.g. look at all the upcoming multi filament solutions in the works.

Voron 2.4 and a Bambu here. My voron is rock solid at this point, but definitely more work into it. It’s big and warming up the plate definitely makes me less likely to use it over the Bambu. I’ve learned more about everything from the voron though, so the question is, what’s your goal?
