OrcaSlicer fork restores BambuNetwork cloud support
A new fork of OrcaSlicer from the FULU-Foundation restores full BambuNetwork internet printing capabilities for Bambu Lab printers. The release bypasses "LAN Only" restrictions and requires WSL 2 for Windows users.
The FULU-Foundation's move is a direct response to recent legal crackdowns on third-party cloud integrations for Bambu Lab hardware.
- –Restores internet-based printing and monitoring, allowing users to move beyond local network limitations
- –Requires WSL 2 on Windows, indicating a Linux-native approach to bypassing proprietary networking layers
- –Complements the FULU-Foundation's open-source firmware (BMCU), signaling a broader effort to jailbreak the Bambu ecosystem
- –High community adoption (700+ stars in hours) highlights deep user frustration with Bambu Lab's "walled garden" cloud strategy
- –Currently lacks full macOS support, limiting its appeal for the substantial portion of the maker community using Apple hardware
