I've not been in the 3-D printing space in a while, but I think this is worth sharing for anyone that is: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/bambu-lab-abusing-open-source-social-contract/

Please boost for reach.

Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract

Last year I said I'd probably never recommend another Bambu Lab printer again. I still use my P1S, but after Bambu Lab started pushing their always-connected cloud solution as the new default: I blocked the printer from the Internet via my OPNsense Firewall I stopped updating the firmware I locked the printer into Developer mode I deleted Bambu Studio and started using OrcaSlicer I had to do that to keep it under my control, instead of Bambu's.

My most ambitious 3D printing project. Someone else's model. 25 hours printing so far. Can you tell what it is yet?

Usually use eSUN filament but this flat grey is Elegoo and it is printing well.

Are you familiar enough with any of these apps to be able to judge which existing #OER lessons would be suitable for children in grades 4-9? In the schulstick.org#hackathon, we'll show you how to create your own, if there aren't already some good ones... with #LiaScript

Kennt ihr euch mit einer dieser Apps so gut aus, dass ihr beurteilen könntet, welche existierenden #OER-Lektionen für Kinder der 4.-9. Klasse geeignet wären? Im schulstick.org#hackathon zeigen wir euch, wie ihr eigene erstellen könnt, falls nicht schon gute vorhanden wären... #LiaSkript

I'm going to look into what #PrusaSlicer and #Slic3r offer. In the meantime, #Formware has a SaaS utility that is working pretty well for me. Just wish they offered a paid version (service or local) so I could get my stuff processed faster.

#Cura è sconsigliato perché è visto come SW per niubbi e molte parametrizzazioni non si possono implementare, ma in realtà nelle ultime versioni c'è praticamente tutto, basta saperlo cercare e usare

Chiaro che se l'HW usa un sistema proprietario, ci vuole uno slicer che lo supporti in pieno, ma di norma ormai i produttori rilasciano tutto OSS quindi questo problema di solito non c'è

Cmq su Linux ci sono anche altri slicer IE #Slic3r

So, #Slic3r, war schön mit dir.
Aber wir sind jetzt ein #Cura-Haushalt.

@anymouse_404 @fribbledom Sure, but this can be done with any current printer too. The design to use slices makes sense, but non-planar printing has been tested and does work, but the slicer has to support it (there are other elements involved of course, e.g. clearance around the nozzle).
However going non-planar means reinventing the print method which slicers (designed on slices, after all) don't want to do as it means moving away from a very stable method with lots of time invested.

example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izlbj_I1kg8

And here's a #slic3r build from 6 years ago that can do it: https://github.com/DrEricEbert/Slic3r_NonPlanar_Slicing
