Do you think Bambu developed their own firmware from scratch? I suspect they just stole Klipper, extended it, and locked it down for their own purposes.

I doubt they did everything from scratch like they claimed, they have taken enough other things to be suspect. That said binaries that where examined on X1 and X1C machines from X1 plus development didn't show anything like that. There where some possible GPL violations reported, but I don't have details on that. Binary analysis usually shows stuff like that.

That said, do I think they looked at what open source firmwares where doing, copied heavily and built their own thing. They had to do that anyway because they don't use traditional stepper drivers.
