Cryptography is what ultimately defines what you can and cannot do with hardware and software you have access to, and there is a lot of wiggle room here to achieve 3rd-party interoperability if you can break through Bambu&rsquo;s attempts to obscure their software.</p> <h2 id="forward"> Forward <a class="heading-link" href="#forward"> <i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"></i> <span class="sr-only">Link to heading</span> </a> </h2> <p>I&rsquo;m intentionally avoiding a detailed description of HOW I observed most of this since Bambu seems to be in the mood to threaten <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/1t3psxr/louis_rossman_talks_about_bambu_labs_sending/" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legally-dubious lawsuits</a> recently for just USING their software in a way they don&rsquo;t like. Besides, if I did then they might decide to go change things to make analysis harder in future versions.</p>
