UPDATE (April 25, 2024): Bambu Lab immediately updated it’s policy on software update support after the community voiced concern that the flagship X1-Carbon would soon be obsolete. The company states that “products will continue to work for their entire lifetime, with the same feature availability.” Expiration dates were extended by two years for bugfixes and feature updates, and a new line was added for “guaranteed security patch updates” extending two years further.
Bambu Lab recently posted on its company blog that the “first round of product launches” representing the First Generation of the Bambu Lab family is complete. That family of printers includes the X1, P1 and A1 model of machines, all of which have been reviewed by Tom’s Hardware and many of which sit on our list of best 3D printers. Further, the company acknowledges that its firmware infrastructure is still in the early stages of development.
