Network Plugin for Third-party Slicer
Network plugin API for Third-party slicing tools (e.g. OrcaSlicer) based on open-source Studio development will no longer be able to utilize Studio’s network plugin API for authorization control. For these users, Bambu Connect client software will act as a replacement. This new software removes slicing functions while enabling remote control and print initiation.
Another piece of proprietary blob "Bambu Connect" WILL BE REQUIRED

ANY AND ALL BAMBU USERS should immediately complain to Bambu Lab as this virtually takes full control over what YOU can do with YOUR PRINTER! DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.08.03.00 if you rely (like myself) on orcaslicer until support for Bambu Connect has been added!
