I haven't look at their hardware so I don't know if you can flash custom firmware but at the very least you could buy a new board and kick them to the curb.

The current firmware has a lan only mode that the new firmware will now require a cloud based login to work. So if you already own one the best option is to turn lan only mode on and block it from the Internet from your router firewall, and uninstall bambu handy™️ and bambu studio™️ and use orca slicer instead.

I assume it will still be able to print from the SD card with the new firmware but not sure, haven't looked into that yet.

I was talking about replacing their firmware or their control board with a marlin board if it wasn't compatible.

There's a custom firmware already, I haven't tried it yet: https://github.com/X1Plus/X1Plus/wiki
