    Their printers just work.

    So do machines like Snapmaker (U1) and especially Prusa, but without the amount of involuntary butt stuff.

    And it’s not even true, the amount of issues with Bambu are piling up. A1 even manage to melt themselves recently, print failures with the print head becoming a plastic blob, the whole shebang. It’s the same with Apple indeed, as in people being ignorant in regards to all their issues because of the whole lifestyle feeling the marketing team managed to create.

      If quality really drops, the problem should solve itself, as their target clientele probably will be looking for alternatives.

        That’s not really how brand recognition and advertising works. If it was people would have stopped buying 2D HP printers decades ago.

          As well as Apple products. and Microsoft Windows devices. The whole tech industry gets shittier and people merely adjust their expectations.

          People are not buying rationally either, especially not when they’re literally bombarded with manipulation attempts (ads, product placements, influencer marketing etc.). Something BambuLab does relentlessly.
