Whoops
by Matthew Mensley May 13, 2026
For a particular group of 3D printer users, Bambu Lab is quickly becoming public enemy #1.

The OrcaSlicer fork pulled from GitHub following the threat of a cease-and-desist letter last month is back. The slicer, which reconnected the popular third-party slicer to Bambu Lab's cloud infrastructure without Bambu Connect – control middleware the company launched early last year – is now hosted by right-to-repair advocate Louis Rossmann and PC media outlet GamersNexus, with both publicly daring Bambu Lab to sue them over it.

Bambu Lab has not responded publicly to the rehosting. The slicer is now more accessible than it was before the company intervened.
