Thinking about getting my first printer to print some organization stuff around the house, some nerf parts, as well as some small toys and fidget for friends/kids. The Bambu Lab A1 seems to be notable for being beginner friendly without a lot of fiddling.

Read recently about the lawsuit and I’m wondering if I should wait until that’s resolved before pulling the trigger. I’m worried that some outcome there will eliminate important features or worst case make it obsolete entirely. Any thoughts?

    @RacerX For $339 for an A1, I wouldn’t consider it a major risk at all. I have an X1C and I love it. If they lose a lawsuit and have to remove features, I figure I just won’t update the firmware and hope that does the trick. And if so, that potentially another reason to pull the trigger now.

      This is a good point. Like someone else said here, it’ll probably take a while to resolve the lawsuit and if I get as much use as I think I will between now and then, then the money spent will be worth it. Thanks!

        I thought it needed to be connected to the internet in order to send prints to it? Does it work fine if never connected?
