See title.

I like the simplicity if the bamboo software but realy would love a foss firmware for the printer. Ik this isn't strictly Linux related but figured this was the best fit for the discussion. I would get a prusa printer but the cost for multi material just doesn't make economical sense. Is their some 3rd party controller board that integrates well? I run QubesOS with a designated sys-print qube to keep such activities isolated. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm a mechanical engineering student and would like to take advantage of my knowledge to engineer myself into a physical advantaged.

No Bambu keeps shutting down projects that bring any FOSS functionality to their ecosystem.

If this has to do with not wanting Bambu to monitor what you print, you could do is set up your own router (OPNsense, PFsense, OpenWRT) and put a VPN (tail scale, netbird) on it. Then you can set your printer to LAN in the router software, and with the VPN tunneling all your traffic through your network, your device will act as if it on the LAN. From there, you can send prints even out of the house without using their server side remote print functions.
