    You can also run klipper on them if you want network connectivity. Granted you need a raspberry pi to run klipper so there is that.

    After running klipper on my Ratrigs I can’t even consider Marlin anymore. Modifying a config file and restarting is less painful than having to compile and flash a bin for every modification or update.

      That’s what I switched to about 2 months after getting my Ender 3 S1 Pro. Klipper running from a RPi, lets me push sliced files out over WiFi to the printer right from Orca. So much better than dealing with SD cards.

      As another 3d printing noob, why would I want my 3d printer connected and be in the mercy of some company? Feels like this dependency makes it so you don’t truly own the product.

        LAN mode. I kind of understand why they do it because it just works. I gave my Sister my X1C and it was the first printer I felt comfortable with giving her family, because it just works.
