Bambu Connect is explicitly about allowing you to continue to use your favorite slicer. They make it less convenient (instead of pressing print you now have to save, load the file in Bambu Connect and then press print), but they don't prevent you from doing it.

Once the update actually rolls out to the P1S obviously. Which may not even happen with the current backlash

For now. They're putting themselves in the middleman position where they get the final say over what we can print on the printers that we supposedly "own".

It's naive to think that they won't try to extract revenue from that privileged position, they wouldn't have spent R&D resources on it otherwise.


I think this is pretty shitty. Not being able to print directly from the slicer is a big pain.

Imagine if this limitation existed with Bambu's first-party slicer. It would obviously be considered a pretty big downside.
