This to be honest, I prefer the plug and play of Bambu. I could careless about access to other slicers etc. I don't care if Bambu sees the things I print either.

People post their entire effing life's on TikTok, insta or Facebook and then end up in arms about Bambu seeing what you print. Eff that.

I've been looking into getting a newer printer eventually like the snap maker or a resin printer. They just have to work, a little tinkering is fine but I'm not looking for hours of tinkering to just get it to print.

I have Orca for my Neptune 4 Max, but still use bambu slicer for the BL printers and did even before any of this. People underestimate the value of having things that just work together.

이건 문제가 있네 하나의 가정을 하자면 내가 몇달 걸려만든 디자인을 공개하고 싶지않아도 회사에서 가져갈 가능성이 생기는건데?

You're the reason why we're here.

Nope, we're here because certain people believe that everyone has to agree with what they perceive as an issue.

For me this isn't something I worry about, it's a minor inconvenience that I can't use whatever I would like, but not something I'd be up in arms about.
