3D printer nightmare fuel: Bambu X1C and P1P started printing while owners were asleep

Article note: Yeah, that's a big fuckup about something the community is skeptical of them about. I've played with an X1Cs, they're _superb_ printers with well-thought-out kinematics, the most reliable filament changer on the market by a considerable margin, some amazing feedback-driven harmonic management, are super fast ... and contain an unfortunate amount of proprietary parts/software and unwanted connectivity. I think I'd do a Voron Trident (kit) if I decided I needed a higher performance printer right now, it has similar kinematics (I'm weakly convinced CoreXY over Z bed is better than CoreXY on flying gantry) but is open source all the way down.

When owners of Bambu’s extremely well-regarded 3D printers woke up on August 15th, some found their printer had gone rogue.

Some woke up to failed prints. Some found a second copy of a previous print. And at least a few found their Bambu X1C or P1P had started smacking itself apart — damaging components — while trying to print a second copy atop the object they’d actually asked for.

Ok so this is a bit concerning, I have zero clue how their system is setup (yay proprietary closed source) but it looks like a disruption in Bambulab`s cloud service cause a whole bunch of peoples printers to just.....start printing last night. pic.twitter.com/Sqbk9zmc60

These printers started printing unattended,...
