I've got an Anycubic S1
It's half open. It doesn't run Klipper but you can install it if you want. It has cloud features but you don't have to use them. It comes with a proprietary Orca fork but you can run regular Orca or whatever slicer you want.
If you can wait, I'd get a Snapmaker U1.
I’ve heard snapmaker as a brand has been unreliable is that something I could solve with klipper? Otherwise the Anycubic is also a cheaper option between the two it seems
Given the speed and complete change in designs from year to year I don't think there is any correlation between brands and reliability.
There are many complaints about the expensive Bambu H2D whereas everyone says the P1s is perfect.
I expect the Snapmaker to have problems given its complexity. But 4 print heads for $800 is worth some hassle.
If you want to use networkprinting with stock Firmware you need to use the Windows Orca Fork filled with Adds and send it through there Servers or did they change it?(s1)
I think you have it confused with Bambu. You don't have to use their software with stock firmware. You can network print directly without using any cloud. I've used Orca and Prusa. There are absolutely no ads in their slicer.
They have an STL search on their Makeronline.com like Prusa printables.com built into their slicer but that's not an ad.
