I kept Bambu Studio around while I was trying out Orca Slicer but finally just uninstalled it. Sorry, Bambu — still don't trust you. Also, Orca is just better now.
So that's a complete and total removal of all Bambu software/services from my Bambu printer. No longer using Studio or Handy. No cloud — printer is in offline mode (and blocked from the internet), with print monitoring via Home Assistant and/or the 3rd-party Bambu Connect app.
Printed this for hubs’ mom. The “dirt” is a spring which allows the flower to slightly “bounce”. The pot was printed with the “fuzzy skin” option enabled which gives it a really cool texture. The flower and stem are both threaded, and there are multiple variations. Flower and stem are both Bambu PLA Basic (Sunflower and Mistletoe), the pot is Cookiecad Elixir PLA Witches Blue, and the “dirt” which you can’t really see is Bambu PLA Sparkle Onyx Black.
I finally wrangled Home Assistant into sending me status updates for my 3D prints with a snapshot from the printer’s camera. The idea came from a guy on Reddit, but I’ve modified it a bit (and need to tweak it further). It gives me updates at layer #3 (to make sure bed adhesion is good), then again at 50%, 75%, and at completion.
[Ignore the 50% vs 51% discrepancy- this was a bug in the original script which I’ve already fixed.]
Read between the lines in those responses and you'll clearly see Bambu's intent here. Nothing has changed — and I don't think they can be trusted.
My printer is staying in LAN-ONLY mode, the device has been blocked from accessing the internet via my router, I will not upgrade its firmware, and I am in the process of switching to Orca Slicer. While I do love this printer, I can't recommend Bambu Lab products anymore.
Home Assistant might be powerful but holy hell it is NOT the most user-friendly thing to get configured and customized. 😶🌫️
That said, I got it installed in a VM using UTM on my Mac Mini with the Bambu Lab integration.
Now that it’s working I can put my P1S in LAN ONLY mode and block it from the internet in my router.
This is all in response to Bambu Lab deciding it was gonna start enshittifying the platform. TWO DAYS outside of my return window, too.
Well this is the coolest thing I’ve 3D printed so far. Part of the Bambu LED Light Kit- I printed the shade and the base out of Bambu’s PETG Translucent in Clear.

I've been having fun with my new #BambuLabP1S this week.
Printed a Totoro speaker and a Master Sword in colour. Printed a snake and tower maze in the sample filament.
Remarkable machine, this is what I wanted 3D printing to be back when I got into it in 2016.
Well, here we go. I guess I'm a 3D printer guy now #BambuLab #3dprinting #bambulabp1s
Seit dem letzten Firmware Update ist die Netzwerkverbindung zum Gerät sehr unzuverläßig. 😞
#BambuLab printer finally paid for itself. Fixed my son's tech deck by printing a new nut on the 0.2mm nozzle on the #bambulabP1S . Only 3 prototypes and we had a winner.
Ich muss verrückt sein. Aber bestellt ist jetzt bestellt. #3DDrucker #BambuLabP1S
One thing I missed going from #OctoPrint (with the #OctoPod iPhone app) to the #bambulabP1S:
Getting notifications after the first layer, after 50% and after it’s finished (including a picture of the webcam)
Well, I just build an automation in #HomeAssistant doing exactly this.
100% local, using the lan-mode of the printer. I love it.

Anyone using SPLA filament in their 3dprinter with success?
I had one spool lying around for some time and wanted to use it because of its color but it will either not stick or warp on my #bambulabP1S
Thought it might be humidity but drying didn't change the behaviour.
Every other filament (PLA, PETG, TPU) from Bambu or a 3rd-party is just working fine...
Let’s see how good the newest firmware for my bambulab P1S is!
Really excited about the active motor noise canceling feature 🤩 #bambulabP1S #3dprinting
