I've always loved Bambu Lab's printers for their exceptional quality. However, the recent news about upcoming changes to your firmware deeply concerns me. The proposed alterations would not only limit the functionality of your printers - by reducing the compatibility with third-party slicers like Orca Slicer and devices such as Panda Touch - but also harm your dedicated customer base and the community that reveres your products. According to 3D Hubs' 3D Printing Trends Q1 report, a staggering 80% of users value an open system that allows the usage of other slicers and devices. The proposed changes, I fear, could risk alienating a significant portion of your client base. I and many others have found great satisfaction in working with your printers in conjunction with our preferred slicers and devices. It's a method that enables us to maximize our creativity while ensuring we get the quality for which Bambu Lab is renowned. I respectfully request Bambu Lab to reconsider these changes.
