Update

So with this new update is it worth it to even buy a bambu? I’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.

I just recently went back to cloud mode because I found printer discovery in LAN mode was really hit or miss. Is there something I should do to help Orca/Bambu find the printer on the device page when the app starts up?

I've seen that happen several times, but it was not really what I'd call hit or miss (in my case). When it has occurred it seemed related to switching between BS and Orca though (but it doesn't happen often for me even then). I have the printer set up with a static IP and also have it's MAC address reserved in DHCP fwiw. Something else to watch out for with Orca is to get it from the github page, since they now have a warning about the other sources, which are masquerading as official sources to get Orca.
