Looks like Bambu is getting more enshittified. I am so glad I didn't let my recent frustration at my clumsiness with my Prusa steer me into Bambu-land.

Oh for sure, I'm firmly on the side of building a kit or sourcing your own for something like a voron v0.2 for people unfamiliar/uncertain; not a huge investment, will learn a lot assembling it and you'll have an abs capable machine that's yours at the end of the day. I do still absolutely recommend prusa kits too or second hand older ones, super easy to modify and there's and absolute wealth of information (and mods) for them.

Board swaps and conversion kits more for people who already have something and would rather modify it than buying a whole new machine, less waste than tossing the whole printer and getting a new one. Could use as a platform for something like a switchwire, there's an Ender 3 conversion out there for example, and looks like there's an anycubic Viper one too and another
