I used to reluctantly tell newcomers to #3DPrinting considering a Bambu printer that Bambu have at least done a pretty good job of "it just works out of the box" based on lots of reports from normal people I know personally (not just "influencers" to whom Bambu gifted a printer), while mentioning that they started by claiming that they didn't have to follow open source license terms unless they wanted to. But with this move, I will instead have to tell them that "buying" from Bambu is really renting printing functionality from a company that may arbitrarily take away some of that functionality after an indefinite and unstated term.

I need to think more about what to recommend to newcomers who Just Want To Print, because I am asked often enough that I should have a better answer.
