Their Plus 4 printer is supposed to have multi material box -a la AMS- some time this year. But there hasn’t been much said about it since the release of the Plus 4 model.

The only other one I know of, outside of a dual exturder Voron, is the Qidi I-Fast IDEX printer. It’s expensive, somewhat over $1000, but it has a lot of goodies too. 350C extruder, heat chamber, and a decent sized build volume to print just about any engineering filament.
I got my A1 mini just a month or two before this current unpleasantness, so I was taken unaware. But since I’ve never been interested in using much of the Bambu software ecosystem, switching to LAN mode a month ago has been no big deal for me because I was leaning that direction anyway. And my current firmware version, 1.04 works well so no need to up grade. Nor is Makers World all that important to me.
But there are so many users that just don’t care and will swallow what ever dreck Bambu feeds them.
Roll back the firmware to a version that worked. You still can do that.
FDM printing ABS/ASA is far easier and safer than resin printing since most CoreXY printers are enclosed these days. A simple fan and ether venting to the outside world or through activated charcoal air filters is a relatively simple procedure. Printers with all of that filtration are easily purchased these days. Even vapor smoothing can be done outdoors if it’s warm enough.
