As a general topic, Docker interests me, but I’m struggling to see the use-case for a single-user, single-task software product like Bambu Studio, which is already natively supported on multiple operating systems.
From my understanding, Docker’s principal advantages lie in its ability to scale across multiple platforms in enterprise settings, particularly for software serving large numbers of users or handling extensive I/O functionality. These scenarios don’t seem to apply to slicer software like Bambu Studio, unless perhaps you’re running a print farm. Even then, Bambu Studio doesn’t support cross-platform or mixed LAN-connected systems, so I’m curious where Docker would really add value here.
What am I missing?
Nothing much. Just sharing some info for those interested in using this docker for a print farm. (btw, good guess 
)
I was using a Prusaslicer container for my previous printer simply so that I could open it in a web browser and slice/send prints regardless of what computer I was on without having to bother to manually sync my printing and filament profiles between the multiple machines.
With Bambu Studio it’s less useful since that syncing is done through their cloud service so while I had installed the container I’ve never used it and removed it by now.
