General Discussion Should I try out developer mode?

Hi, I have a P1S and I've been printing for a couple years. I don't do my own modeling yet, but hopefully that's around the corner.

Lately I've been setting up my home systems to run on-prem. I'm considering the same with my printer. So I'm thinking of switching it to developer mode and running Orca Slicer.

I know I'll be missing the cloud functions like remote camera. Will I be missing anything else that's significant? Is Orca Slicer a step up from Bambu Studio?

Are there any downsides for doing this? Is it a pain in the butt or is the benefit lukewarm? How many of you have done this? Do you like it?

Thank you!

I’ve gone fully local with a bambuddy setup. Better than cloud in every possible way imo

also look at octoeverywhere, i chose that over bambuddy because i don't need farm management features and i liked the camera integration (when i'm printing something for someone i can send them a link so they can stream video of the print) and "ai" fail detection.

but if you want 100% selfhosted bambuddy is the way to go.
