It seems that Bambu Lab is better about using open source software but not as good about feeding any improvements they make back to the open source community. Good job on the PrusaSlicer developers for implementing these features from scratch.
What are you talking about? Bambu Studio is open source. It has to be as it is a fork of PrusaSlicer. Pulling changes Bambu did upstream to the original PrusaSlicer is a good thing but it's clear Prusa has to do that as they maintain the PrusaSlicer codebase. Looking forward to get the latest PrusaSlicer features into OrcaSlicer (itself a fork of Bambu Studio).
@@Baldavier No, that's not true. It even comes with profiles for some other printers. That said, OrcaSlicer is probably a better choice if you have a non-Bambu printer and even if you have a Bambu printer ...
I think he is confused with Bambu Lab’s proprietary firmware and open source slicer. The Bambu Lab Slicer is definitely and absolutely open source just like Prusa Slicer. I am sure Prusa simply took what was done in Bambu Lab Slicer and put that back into their code. This is what open source is all about. Everyone’s improvements will keep helping each other continue make their software better. It is not appropriate to try to provide misinformation and dispel others from making their contribution as well. Make sure to make proper research before making such statements.
Loving the new stuff in PrusaSlicer. I have a part that I manufacture that I was just getting ready to cut into four parts, not because it's too big to print, but so I could offer a product that the customer could configure to any of three different lengths by omitting one or two of the interlocking middle segments. I was planning to use something similar to a locking diamond lateral cut in FreeCAD, but a dovetail would work. The PrusaSlicer snap lugs look great too!
4:30 Seems like people in the 3D printing community really need to learn what open-source is about. Bambu took the whole of Slic3r development then didn't share what they've built on top of it. That forced Prusa to spend their own additional resources developing the same thing leaving their competitor to profit from their work once again. This is the whole point of what Prusa talked about in his blog post about open-source - Bambu is exploiting their work by not sharing their improvements. Bambu has a right to do it, that's the point of open-source, but not contributing back is a problem.
Not sure what license this stuff is released under, but isn’t Bambu Labs at least obligated to make the source code of whatever changes they made to open source slicers available? Most OSS licenses have this as a requirement even if they allow commercial use. In any case, I recently looked into buying a printer and became aware of this issue. My Prusa Mk4 will arrive in a week or 2, I decided to support them despite the Bambu printer being a little cheaper and more advanced. I’m trying to avoid Chinese stuff in general.
Dovetails for me, saves me the trouble of doing it in CAD. Also from a point of strength and required precision dove tails seem more promising then snap connections.
When your open source and not trying to literally lock everyone down into 1 brand, like Apple does horribly, it only makes everything better. The reason most companies don't - is greed. There is no other good reason, this is because when you share a feature - you can't then monopolize it to ensure people use 'your' things, so they don't have to buy 'your things' also there are mods that allow Bambu's hotend to be used on other printers and such, so while it is somewhat a locking thing, it is more open than other companies that make it extremely difficult on purpose to access parts. (and they sell parts seperately, including hot ends, for reasonable prices! - sure wish Apple would do that, the cellphone business might actually see improvements)
That dovetail view looks wrong. Putting the tongue on the bottom and the groove in the top would allow the top part to be printed without support. As shown that wouldn't be the case and I hope the placement of the features is controllable.
Can't try it because I upgraded my firmware, and there is a bug in the configuration wizard. The new temperature evaluation causes my printer to throw an error over temperature. Clearly, the PID data tuning could be better. I work in Process Control, and manufacturing does this way better.
@@glennbrian3d So far it is just as steady as 2.6.0. Seems as though it's even slightly better at warning me about insufficient supports. The new kinds of knife and dowel tool options haven't glitched on random models I've tested. The Boolean tools in general are already quite glitch free in 2.6.0, and I'm not finding 2.6.1 rc1 to be any less good in any way.
I just wish we could use blockers/modifiers without it printing extra walls inside the model. Like for example if I want to block fuzzy skin from certain area with a modifier, it'll not only print extra walls inside the model, but it also prints fuzzy skin on those internal walls, which is can at worst weaken structural integrity, or at the very least it will waste extra time on those unneeded walls.
They also require you to send HUGE logfiles if you need support. And since they are encrypted, you have absolutely no idea what info they are sending about your system. I don’t trust them.
Thanks for asking, its a way of documenting how old the video is, so far to date, my Etsy shop has made that number, my channel focuses on making money with a 3d printer :)
that dovetail showcase was dumb. They should have had the extruding side on the bottom part, good luck printing that top part of the bunny without supports...

I didn’t know about the cut tool improvements. Thanks!

Yes I totally agree
This Dovetail and Snap feature should have been in slicers a long time ago.
Totally

Apples definitely not making anything open source, would be nice though! Haha
Depends on the model and post processing
Thanks for the comment
Not fused on that SNAP feature. More like they will snap off if you use PLA.
I'm interested in that as well, I'm going to have to test it!
Oohhh. These connectors are a big game changer
Yes!

Thanks for the input!
Agreed.
Dove tail sounds but but with some prints you will need supports making more sanding, shaving before joining
Hopefully I'll be able to dial it in without a standing or shaving
How do I download the prerelease?! I've been to the page a million times and can't find the download?
It's at the bottom of the page

Did you try reflashing it
Wow. Neat features
Thanks for watching!
I'm using it the last few days, because 2.6.0 kept bringing up the 2.6.1 release candidate 1 being available. I haven't come across any bug so far.
Nice! How do you like it?

@@jokerace8227 awesome, thanks for the update!
i scanned the update and then went back to 2.6.0 thanks for reopening my eyes :)

Each feature will be better depending on what the object is.
yes I agree!

Bambu studio does support other printers
Yes but they are not open source as far as i know
They also require you to send HUGE logfiles if you need support. And since they are encrypted, you have absolutely no idea what info they are sending about your system. I don’t trust them.
@@Traitorman..Proverbs26.11 Good to know
What does the $75,000 means in the video thumbnail? I don’t get it

@@glennbrian3d whats your store called?
The dove tail would be a stronger choice...
For sure, it's been proven for thousands of years!
@4:14 but I thought bambu were the bad guys?
Depends who's opinion!

Bambu studios is based in/forked frommprusa/slic3r and they need to share their changes.
