Is now a good time to get a Bambu? (lemm.ee)

Thinking about getting my first printer to print some organization stuff around the house, some nerf parts, as well as some small toys and fidget for friends/kids. The Bambu Lab A1 seems to be notable for being beginner friendly without a lot of fiddling.

Read recently about the lawsuit and I'm wondering if I should wait until that's resolved before pulling the trigger. I'm worried that some outcome there will eliminate important features or worst case make it obsolete entirely. Any thoughts?

@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.

Just make sure it never connects to the Internet ever

I thought it needed to be connected to the internet in order to send prints to it? Does it work fine if never connected?
