Since I am retired (and tired!), I don't have the extra moola to spend 250$ and then do it again. I'd rather spend the 700-900 once only. Like buying a bigger mill than you need.

Make sense. I said it in my earlier posts, we each negotiation for ourselves how much give and take we're willing. I just think it's important all the "facts" are laid out, so folks can make the right decision for themselves. IMO, the Bambu thing is proportionately overblown, hyperfocusing and condensing broader (very serious and real) issues onto the Bambu.
The Bambu might not make sense for a lot of people here, but it absolutely makes sense for a lot more people who want their 3D printers like they want their home automatic espresso machine. How many of us use open source software, vs just paying annual subscriptions to rent from Microsoft, Autodesk and Adobe? There's no shame in the latter.
From my older brother, 50+ years as a systems programmer.
Bambu implemented a security system using public and private key encryption, and them set up the private key configuration to use the same key for all users. This meant that any user that cracked the private key theoretically has access to all users machines. A cracked Bambu private key was posted to various websites a couple of weeks ago, causing Bambu to go ballistic about security and implement the current software debacle.
Older brother took a look at some of the Bambu code and suggested it was written by a first-year CompSci intern.
He was just about to buy a Bambu, now he’s looking at Prusa again.

Did a bit more searching. Halfway down this page is a link to the key extraction. Item 12. Ouch.
Well aside from some of the issues so far I do really like this Bambu X1C & AMS. Busy printing the desiccant containers as I've bought some colour changing desiccant and the little RH&Temperature gauge.
I printed the one that holds the gauge first just to see how it all fits. I used the support filament for it. Still so cool so see it switch for those transition layers.
Came out nice!
Now printing the rest which will take 7 hours.
Currently inside the AMS the temperature is 27.2C and the RH is 15%.

I’ll be very curious to see how my printer will match up.
Does your new one also have an AMS? Does the bed go up and down (and all around... sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme).
It does have an ams.
And the bed does go up and down and all around
It’s an Anycubic Kobra S1
Wow! Looks much nicer than mine and 1/3 the price I paid.It does have an ams.

As soon as I found it and saw some reviews I cancelled my Bambu order.
I probably would have too. Still the LIDAR saved my print this evening. That's one of the things that differentiates it from the P1S. I'd forgotten to take out the support tower after I removed the other parts. Then when I started this print I think the print head ran into it and it offset it a bit.
After the first layer it does the LIDAR scan. And for the first time I got a warning and "do you want to continue" message that something was wrong.
It didn't look bad until I continued. Then it was obvious that it wasn't printing over the original.
So I cleaned up and started over. This time no error and it's doing well.
Nice. What slicer do you use on this or does it care much?
The Bambu supplied Slicer.
One of the nice things about the Bambu and their 'project' files is that it can have a number of build plates. And with the build plate are all the parameters for printing the particular parts. So the one I'm printing now had 11 parts on it with one requiring support. I set it to use the Bambu Support Filament and only wanted to print the one that used the support.
Easy to delete the others and then slice and send.
After that I returned to the 'Prepare' window and a few Ctrl-Z and the others were back. I then deleted the one I'd printed and sliced again.
Back to the 'Prepare' window and a few more Ctrl-Z to put things back to the original build plate.
Now I can select one of the other plates and print those. Or maybe only part of those. I can even select that the bottoms are one colour and the tops are a different colour. Although that's a lot of filament changes and waste of filament. Easier to delete and slice the ones of one colour and then print the others.
Or... here's the fun part. The Spool Canisters Plate. Print using say 'Blue' filament until the covers have been printed. This means they same distance of the canisters will also be blue. Now pause and switch to Grey. The rest of the Canisters are in Grey. When the lids are on both ends are blue and the middle part is grey. Pretty.....
Good info. I was actually referring to David's Anycubic Kobra S1. I have never heard of that brand before. But I don't really know much of anything at this point. It looks like a capable machine
It comes with an Anycubic version of Orca. Strictly speaking you can use any slicer but you have to set up the printer profile.
Says it all to me.

I love this stuff... bought bottles of it to be able to put 3D printed driers into all my tool containers.
The only thing that could be better would be a dedicated desiccant filament to print your desiccant bead containers.

Just as expected...
I feel sorry for people who bought now crippled machines that are forever stuck in evolutionary limbo. So many will make excuses and are going to say it is no big deal. That's how denial works as a protection mechanism...
