Since the beginning they have insisted on their proprietary protocol, which has tied the users to their proprietary slicer, Luban. Luban again is a 3-in-1 3D print slicer-CNC carving-Lasering suite that is equally bad at all three, especially in 3D printing.

They have also bastardised Orca with their own horse shit additions and made it work with their latest models, but since Octo is supported, I can hopefully switch to vanilla Orca.

If it works, I'm going to charter a ship, find the exact spot of the Mariana trench and drop Snapmaker Luban in there, encased in concrete.

Just what you'd expect when a company takes an open source product and tries to make a "value added" version. It just adds their stupid, worthless model store which ironically causes it to crash at random in the start screen.

So I just added that onto the Mariana trench list and tried what happens with the plain Orca that has served me well so far with the Flsun (while that lasted).
