Restore full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers

A new version of OrcaSlicer says it brings back full online printing support for Bambu Lab printers, meaning owners can once again send jobs over the internet instead of being stuck using only their home network. On paper, that sounds like a win for convenience. In the comments, though? Absolute chaos. This wasn’t received like a simple software update — it landed like the latest episode in an ongoing printer soap opera.

The biggest split is brutally clear: one camp is thrilled that missing features are back, while the other is yelling, “Wait, wasn’t the whole point to get away from the cloud?” That line, from one commenter, basically became the mood of the thread. Some users were hoping for the best of both worlds — remote printing without having to trust company servers. Instead, several commenters sounded deeply uneasy about files, logs, and printer activity passing through a company-controlled system, especially for businesses, labs, and sensitive workplaces. One of the spiciest reactions warned that if Bambu responds with lawyers instead of answers, it’ll only make the whole situation look even more suspicious.

And then came the detective energy. One commenter claimed this project looks like a clone of the old code that sparked the week’s Bambu blowup in the first place, turning the thread into part product launch, part true-crime recap. There weren’t many outright jokes, but the dry sarcasm was strong: users kept circling back to the same meme-worthy complaint — people wanted freedom, and somehow got re-tethered instead. Even the helpful install notes for Windows, Linux, and a still-in-progress Mac version couldn’t calm the vibe. The update may restore convenience, but the comments make one thing clear: the real story is trust, and right now trust is in beta.
