I got a P1S as a Christmas present for me and my wife. For now, my plan is to block its internet connection and stop using the Bambu app altogether. When/if it his stops working for me, what does the community recommend as a replacement for newbies like me, or future newbs who haven’t made this mistake?
Get a Prusa. I too made the error buing chinese crap (Ender 3 v2 in my case). I didn’t have the cloud problem but i had to tinker soo much till it actually worked.
You pay more for a Prusa, but then you actually have tested and open hard- and software that works and can’t be taken away from you.
