Being on a budget and buying X1C with AMS has nothing in common. It's a bad choice. It's a really awesome printer that just works, but it's not a budget option.

If you're on a budget, buy yourself BambuLab A1M, which is the best quality-to-money ratio.

Did Bambu fix that thing where their printers need to be online and waiting for instructions from the cloud to be useful? I'm not about to send my designs through their servers.

They fixed it in the sense that there's an opt-in offline-only print mode and they do work without a connection. It still requires you to do an initial setup using the mobile app, so if you're an offline-first kind of person, their printers are definitely not for you
