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.

While I fully support that comment, their cloud printing thing also is annoying - I’d rather they spend effort on proper lan printing.
On my mini I’m still using octoprint (even though I’ve added a network card), on my mk4s I’m using the local connection for uploading - but I got the GPIO board, so once I have time that should enable me to get better monitoring working again. But it all still feels kludgy - something like enabling octoprint control via network instead of USB for the mk4 would be way nicer.
I get that it’s not for everyone, but I use home assistant and prusalink to do everything the cloud prusa connect does.
It doesn’t leave my network, it’s connected to physical Ethernet instead of WiFi, and I have zero outside connectivity requirements.
The only drawback is that I have one extra step instead of sending directly within prusa slicer.
Honestly, it’s been a better overall experience than using the cloud service, cause it doesn’t need to send any data over the Internet, just to download it back down to the printer.
