tl;dr: A firmware update scheduled for January 23rd will remove the ability of third-party software such as Orca Slicer or the Panda Touch to connect directly to your printer. Users of third-party slicers will have to export sliced files and load them in a new "Bambu Connect" app in order to start prints or manage the printer.

We need the names of the CEO and board of directors more than the name of the company. The company didn't make itself shitty, the executives did.

We should know about it when they move to other companies to ruin them, too.

Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.
