C'mon everyone, we can do better.

As someone who owns an X1C, it's abundantly clear that many of the comments are armchair quarterbacking from folks who don't own a Bambu and have never tried one.

Cheap Chinese clone? That's like calling SpaceX a cheap knockoff of Orbital ATK.

Camera can only stream to Bambu's servers? Factually incorrect, you can stream locally via RTSP.

I come here for insightful debate about a company and product that have plenty of interesting aspects, both good and bad, to discuss, not for the pedantic, ideological sniping that this discussion is full of. It really saddens me to see this on HN of all places.

It looks like the RTSP stream is X1C exclusive, and not available on the P1 series. Not sure about the A1 as that's new

I think some fields are just chock full of really bitter people that treat their hobby like a religion: Definitely Gaming, 3D Printing, maybe superhero movies etc.

I'm reminded when the whole Elon Twitter saga started, all the techies all threatened to go to mastodon and well they did but a lot of "normie" twitter didn't follow them (or couldn't follow them because mastodon was not user friendly). Shannon Morse of Hak5 made a great point about this. She suddenly realized that a lot of tech drama just went away and so she didn't really leave Twitter but didn't fully move to Mastodon either.

Applying that logic to this field, maybe if some company like Bambu Labs (or maybe Bambu themselves) expand the market by bringing in normies, the "hardcore" people will huff and puff but eventually become a niche voice and just go away.
