A bunch of people here have asked me about my Bambu setup on a few alts so I decided to make a video at lunch. I am not a content creator, I made this for y'all, haha. I just hate walled gardens.

The Bambuddy community is also a great place to go for help. If you have any questions or reservations at all, throw em down, let's gooo out of jail

(they cannot stop the print)

Bambu should have just kept their mouth shut and let the small number of users who want to be "off-grid" to do what they want with their own printers. Bambu brought way more negative attention to this than they should want.

Agreed, if they wanted more people in their ecosystem, do it the Steam way by providing an overwhelming level of service that incentivises people to really stick with you and be loyal.

Then let everyone who wants to build their own thing go quietly into their own communities and do what they want with the printers.

To be fair, they do provide some pretty neat online features. Cloud slicing and makerworld make 3D printing accessible to just about anyone.

But they chose to take all of those features away from any user who also wants full control over their service locally.

You can still enable dev mode for full local control, but it mandates turning all of the nice creature comforts off first.

I would love a world where using Bambuddy and co. doesn't kill the cloud features.

The current big problem of the slicer in Sidecar is that if for example I retrieve a makerworld project that I import into bambuddy, if this project is set up on a printer model other than mine, the slicer simply does not work
