I got a P1S as a Christmas present for me and my wife. For now, my plan is to block its internet connection and stop using the Bambu app altogether. When/if it his stops working for me, what does the community recommend as a replacement for newbies like me, or future newbs who haven’t made this mistake?

Get a Prusa. I too made the error buing chinese crap (Ender 3 v2 in my case). I didn't have the cloud problem but i had to tinker soo much till it actually worked.

You pay more for a Prusa, but then you actually have tested and open hard- and software that works and can't be taken away from you.

    I think calling Ender "Chinese Crap" a bit harsh. I'm using an Ender 5 Plus, and I love it. Didn't even had to tinker a tiny bit to get it working right (Except for Leveling of course). It's reliable as hell, and not even 2% of my prints fail. Only improvement I would recommend is a a smaller nozzle.

    Getting an ender is lottery, i got mine with a chip unsupported by upstream marlin and the ender prebuilt binaries do not support bl-touch and a fillament runout sensor at the same time.

    Also I had feeding problems from day one, not even the included example gcode file with the included filament did print out even once.

    I just read a bit through some forum posts, and the 3 v2 seems to be one of the worst printers in Enders whole lineup. That's probably why our experiences are so different.
