TY I'm going to look into those. I appreciate the detailed response, hopefully someone releases a CFW for all the bambu users out there.

The RFID thing i feel like could be rectified pretty easily by just cloning the tag (hopefully), if nintendo couldn't combat that for amiibos, i doubt bambu will be able to.

    I don't want to give Bambu any ideas, but I think they could modify their plastic to require special settings (maybe it requires a lower temperature to print or something, needs a certain extrusion speed, etc.) and ensure that the print settings are automatically set depending on the RFID tag (this already exists, but they could easily disable the ability to manually change some of the print settings given they now have a monopoly on the slicer software), so putting the same RFID tag on another spool would cause the print to look bad. Of course, I believe this is unlikely, but it is still a possibility. At the very least, it will be annoying to rip out a tag from a Bambu spool, making third-party spools undesirable for users.

    TY I’m going to look into those.

    No problem!
