@RacerX Good luck and enjoy!... I imagine it will be like my X1C, in that firmware updates are strictly a manual thing that the user has to trigger, so if they do have to cripple something in the future, hopefully you can just keep your printer working as it had before.
@RacerX For $339 for an A1, I wouldn't consider it a major risk at all. I have an X1C and I love it. If they lose a lawsuit and have to remove features, I figure I just won't update the firmware and hope that does the trick. And if so, that potentially another reason to pull the trigger now.
