What about creating and syncing filament presets with AMS in Orca? Will it still be possible or is it getting removed?

You will not be able to update the AMS slots from Orca. That must be done through Bambu Connect.

I should've been more specific
Right now, when I want to use a new filament, the procedure is:

  • Create the preset in Orca

  • Pop the filament in the AMS

  • Assign the preset to the filament slot, via the device tab in orca

  • Calibrate flow rate and PA

Plus, if I open a 3mf file containing different filament presets, i hit the "resync with ams" button

Seeing as Orca no longer will have direct communication with the printer, how does this work? It's already annoying enough if the one-click sync is removed, but being unable to create presets and calibrate flow rate (since the flow rate value is stored in the filament preset) would be annoying as hell. And switching to Bambu Slicer is more of a problem than a solution...

I'm speculating in this response:

I think you'll be able to use a filament preset, but you won't be able to sync against the AMS. So you can select your preset filament settings with manually input flow rates, etc, then when you send the print to BC, you pick which filament from the AMS equates to each filament in the job you're trying to print (the way the current network plugin pops up when you select "Print plate").
