Software
Slicing software
- https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer
- Most software for 3d printing is just a fork of this software (including bambu)
- Build off of https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r
- Using prusaslicer for bambu will just have some features not included like flow optimization and vibration reduction, but still should work
