This is in response to Bambu labs enshittifying with post-sale software updates and cloud changes.

When the printers were sold they had functions that were removed in later firmware updates. This software is re-enabling those features, some of which still exist in the firmware but were hidden from the user with a software update.

It's not such much that the developer is trying to improve Bambu Lab's value proposition as they are trying to make the printer that they paid for work like it did when they bought it.
