README: drop center alignment, document macOS
- Drop the outer <div align="center"> wrapping the whole file. Markdown bodies are conventionally left-aligned; centering the install instructions made the prose harder to scan and didn't actually render cleanly across viewers (GitHub honors it; many editors don't). - Keep a small <p align="center"> just around the logo image where centering is what you actually want. - Add a proper top-level title (# OrcaSlicer — BambuNetwork edition) instead of leaning on a level-2 heading for the intro. - Replace the macOS "Work in progress" placeholder with a description of the auto-install flow (Lima + qemu x86_64 Linux guest) and what the user has to do on first launch — essentially: confirm the install prompt and wait a few minutes the first time. - Mention that ./build_release_macos.sh now defaults to Ninja with -x as the Xcode opt-in, in case anyone has the inverse muscle memory from upstream. - Light prose tidy throughout (single-sentence platform notes, fewer hard line breaks).

Supported on both Apple Silicon and Intel. On first launch OrcaSlicer
33+
auto-installs a small Lima VM (`orcaslicer-bambu-network`) that runs the
34+
Linux BambuNetwork plug-in under a native x86_64 Linux guest. You'll be
35+
prompted to install the runtime when you launch the app for the first
36+
time; accepting will:
3437

38+
- install Lima and `qemu-system-x86_64` via Homebrew if they're missing,
39+
- bring up an Ubuntu x86_64 VM in the background,
40+
- copy the BambuNetwork payload into the VM.

## BMCU

Once the runtime is ready, log in to Bambu Cloud normally — printers,
43+
camera preview, and Send-to-Printer (cloud or LAN) all work as on other
44+
platforms.

I also encourage you to use BMCU.

You can find BMCU firmware in my repositories.
48+
- The first runtime install downloads an Ubuntu cloud image and takes a
49+
few minutes; subsequent launches are immediate.

- Building from source on macOS 15 (Tahoe) is supported via
51+
`./build_release_macos.sh`. Ninja is the default generator; `-x`
52+
switches to the Xcode generator if you have a full Xcode.app install.
