开发者重新启用禁用功能后遭 Bambu Lab 威胁起诉，OrcaSlicer-BambuLab 项目关闭
软件开发者 Pawel Jarczak 因在 OrcaSlicer-BambuLab 项目中重新启用了 Bambu Lab 禁用的 3D 打印机功能，收到 Bambu Lab 的法律威胁后，自愿关闭了该项目。
OrcaSlicer-BambuLab 是 OrcaSlicer 的一个分支，旨在绕过 Bambu Connect 中间件，以恢复对远程打印机功能的直接控制。
Bambu Lab 指控 Jarczak 进行了反向工程，并违反了其使用条款。
Jarczak 坚称其项目仅使用了公开可用的源代码，并指出 Bambu Lab 承认其所使用的功能路径并未被禁用。
OrcaSlicer 因其品牌无关性以及快速引入创新功能，如“Scarf Seams”（裙边接缝）和“Crosshatch Infill”（交叉网格填充），被广泛认为是优秀的切片软件。

Independent software developer Pawel Jarczak has voluntarily shuttered his popular “OrcaSlicer-BambuLab” project following legal threats from Bambu Lab, ending one man’s fight to restore direct control to the popular third-party slicer. Jarczak’s fork of OrcaSlicer would have allowed users to bypass Bambu Connect, a middleware application that severely limits OrcaSlicer’s access to remote printer functions in the name of security.Jarczak said in a note on GitHub that Bambu Lab threatened him with a cease and desist letter and accused him of reverse engineering its software in order to impersonate Bambu Studio. He said he was also accused of violating Bambu’s Terms of Use and bypassing authorization control. He chose to voluntarily remove the software. He insists he did nothing wrong as his fork of Orca only used publicly available source code.“I explicitly pointed out that, according to Bambu Lab's own explanation, the reason the method still worked was simply that they had not disabled that path yet. In other words, the behavior they objected to was, by their own description, still possible within the Linux-side workflow they had not yet changed,” Jarczak wrote.Article continues below He also pointed out that Bambu Studio is publicly released under the AGPL-3.0 license, a “copyleft” Open Source license that PrusaSlicer uses. As Bambu Studio uses PrusaSlicer’s code as its foundation, it must allow the core program to remain open source.Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox.For many, brand-agnostic Orca Slicer was THE gold standard of 3D printing slicers. It’s a fork of Bambu Studio (which is itself a fork of Prusa Slicer), developed by SoftFever in 2022 when Bambu Lab was a young company with only one printer line, the X1, to its name. Because Orca was community-driven, it was quick to develop wild new features and offer them to users to test before they were fully stable and corporate-approved. Things like scarf seams, crosshatch infill, mouse ears, and a built-in suite of calibrations were introduced by Orca Slicer first.
