If you turn on LAN mode, it acts exactly like every other printer. You can print directly to it from any slicer over your LAN, or dump gcode on the SD card directly.

People are saying the LAN mode lacks access to the webcam and possibly some other things. That is what this whole controversy is about. It's re-enabling some cloud features as local only and Bambu is calling it privacy or fraud.

  • I can use the webcam in LAN mode. Just - locally, in the slicer, not the cloud-based app.

not just lan mode, you have to enable developer mode, which blocks cloud access entirely so you lose advertised functionality.
