## What it is
A fork of OrcaSlicer, an open-source 3D printing slicer application, that restores full BambuNetwork cloud support for Bambu Lab printers so users can print over the internet rather than LAN-only. It is a desktop GUI application written in C++ with releases for Windows (via WSL 2) and Linux.

## Use cases
- slice 3D models for Bambu Lab printers with cloud printing support
- print to Bambu Lab printers over the internet instead of LAN-only
- prepare G-code for 3D printing with a free open-source slicer
- use OrcaSlicer features with BambuNetwork functionality restored
- manage multi-material printing with BMCU hardware

## When to choose
- you own a Bambu Lab printer and want cloud/internet printing with OrcaSlicer
- you want an open-source slicer with full BambuNetwork support
- you use Linux or Windows and need a maintained OrcaSlicer fork

## When to avoid
- you need official support or upstream OrcaSlicer releases
- you need a macOS build, which is still work in progress
- you print only via LAN and are happy with the official OrcaSlicer
