Orca Slicer’s developer, SoftFever, has publicly declined to adopt Bambu Connect, calling it unnecessary and of no meaningful benefit to users.

This is a frustrating take. If they don’t adopt Connect then at some point Bambu users are going to be forced into that update and will lose what I consider critical functionality. Seems pretty meaningful to me.

If they do no push back, then they are just kicking the can down the road, at great expense to themselves. This is exactly the sort of pushback needed to get bambu to walk back their push towards a walled garden.

I support protesting. If they had said “we know this will impact some of our users negatively and we regret that, but we are choosing to protest this change anyways” I’d be much more on board.

Calling it simply useless though I think hurts the protest.
