Previously, third-party software such as OrcaSlicer<ref name="orca-slicer-issue8063">https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/8063</ref> could interact with Bambu Lab printers via the open-source Bambu Studio and proprietary network plug-ins. While Bambu Connect provides a limited URL-based API to initiate prints, most functionality previously openly available is now restricted to Bambu's ecosystem<ref~~>https://forum.~~bambulab~~.com/t/this~~-~~new-auth-system-will-make~~-~~me-sell-my-printers/~~135400/9</~~ref~~>.

Previously, third-party accessories such as Panda Touch would allow users to control their printers with a standalone device. Panda Touch was especially popular amongst P series printer owners since P series printers contain a monochromatic screen with a D-pad by default for printer control whereas Panda Touch is a full-color touch screen that had a small battery so that way users could reposition and detach their Panda Touch off their printers if needed. Users would be able to queue up jobs, jog printer motors, and connect to multiple printers at once in order to monitor print jobs. According to Big Tree Tech (BTT), the manufacturer of the Panda Touch, they urge users of Panda Touch not to update firmware any further since doing so would foreseeably permanently break compatibility with users' printers and their Panda Touch. <ref name=":0" />
