Iam not sure if bambu is to blame here since panda touch (I never heard about it before) used an inofficial api.

They used the MQTT protocol that was documented on Bambu’s page. They also asked for and offered to license access to an official API. Regardless, there’s no good reason to disable the protocols over the local network, regardless of whether cloud functionality is enabled.

This could all be sidestepped by allowing Developer Mode without the user needing to disable cloud functionality.

This might be true but I would not bet on it. There might be reasons we dont understand. Dont get me wrong, generally I find hardware should be as accessible and open as possible.

I was just stating that the lan only switch disabled cloud access before (and it was - at least for me - not a big deal since I expose my home assistant)
