Have to admit I’m out of the loop. If I do have a Bambu printer, can I still use it in LAN mode with OrcaSlicer? Can I still use current firmware or do I need to downgrade?
I am still able to use OrcaSlicer on my Bambu A1 (which was bought before all these shenanigans) and mine is in v4.0.0.0 firmware with LAN only mode enabled. I believe newer machines require a special developer mode hidden deep in the settings to allow third-party software (stupid, I know).
It means you won’t be able to use Bambu Handy (not too bad for my use case though)
There are plenty of videos discussing the topic though. If you don’t have a Bambu printer yet, please don’t go out and buy one. If you’re stuck with one, put it to LAN only mode (or developer mode which is a special hidden LAN only mode on newer versions) to use OrcaSlicer
This guy modified the OrcaSlicer code so that you could still use it without being in LAN mode, over BL servers. Bambu sent him a c&d based on complete nonsense and he took the code down. Rossmann/FULU has since reuploaded it and told Bambu to come at him.

This video from Louis Rossmann will get you caught up with the topic quickly: Bambu Lab: I’m reposting your code & I dare you to sue me. / Louis Rossmann / YouTube.com
