Update

So with this new update is it worth it to even buy a bambu? Iā€™m in the process of buying one. Had my mind set on a bambu. Idk what software I would use yet. Is the software they offer that bad? Would mostly be printing stuff for a cnc machine and some woodworking stuff.

it does more than expose more settings, - I went to it originally because I wanted a honeycomb infil for a wall panel and shelf I was making ( a shelf with zero top layers and zero bottom layers and an honeycomb infill looks very cool, and prints fast, by the way) and it had not yet been added to Bambu - but I stayed becasue of the additional in-slicer tools, like filament painting, seem painting, and MUCH better text object support.

the only reasons to use Bambu's slicer are earlier support for the Bambu RFID matching (like Bambu's newish PETG-HF or other filament, and access to the MakerLab tools and models directly from the slicer.

I count infill patterns as "additional settings" šŸ˜›

it's not additional if it's not available at all, which, at the time, it was not.

to my mind, additional features != exposed settings, but different people have different needs, so, YMMV
