In every Bambu thread lately the assumption is that these battles are about regaining local access, but this whole battle started over trying to get Bambu Network cloud access back into OrcaSlicer.

This is the first three lines of the FULU fork of OrcaSlicer from Louis Rossmann:

> This version of OrcaSlicer restores full BambuNetwork support for Bambu Lab printers.

> You are not limited to LAN only.

> It works over the internet just like before, through BambuNetwork, with full functionality for normal use and printing.

Reading the comment sections are confusing because so many people without Bambu printers have assumed the battle is going the other way, with users fighting to not use Bambu’s cloud servers.

Your comment is close to getting to the root of why the arguments are getting weird: The Chinese government isn’t interested in scooping up all of the trinkets being printed. Anyone using a Bambu printer for anything sensitive was already using LAN mode or SD card for printing. The users fighting for this wanted to go back to sending their prints through the cloud for convenience.
