Poll Result
Bambu Lab has not been having a good week.

We reported on the company's new firmware indirectly restricting third-party control of its printers and asked how many of you use third-party slicers like OrcaSlicer. A whopping 1,366 of you responded.

I'll admit it wasn't the most scientific polling – if you care enough to read about the company restricting access, chances are it's because you use that access – but still, 70% responded in the affirmative on regular and intermittent use, with 26% negative. Here's how Bambu Lab responded to the pushback.
