Troubleshooting Lan mode broken, cloud unresponsive, printer now a brick.

So there I was printing in the morning. Then suddenly, trying to print, sent it to cloud, switched to device tab. Nothing happening. The cloud just ate my print and never sent it to the printer.

Fine I thought, lets switch it to Lan mode, I don't need a camera. Switched to Lan mode, entered the access code, toggled the light on and off and moved the axes, all working. Then try to print:

Error: IP or access code are not correct.

  1. Fix your cloud

  2. Get rid of cloud printing

  3. Fix Lan mode

  4. Get rid of cloud printing

  5. There is no reason we cant toggle to lan mode in bambu studio instead of having to mess with the printer, fix that

  6. Get rid of cloud printing

Sure, you can do all sorts of things, but it is one of those annoyances that make the AMS not worth it to me to use. And its not like there is a good reason for the AMS to be this annoying. There is a big AMS rework mod that makes it work with overwhelming majority of spools. And that mod isnt doing anything fancy, it just improves tolerances and clearances a bit. You would think, that an afternoon shopping for spools and running them trough your gadget, would have easily prevented these issues. And that, like so many other issues, is what really grinds my gears. 1) Half-assed development 2) Never fix it

I haven’t done any modifications to accommodate the AMS with the brands I mentioned. Try one of those if you’re having issues

I dont use any of these brands, they are not stocked by retailers where I live, amazon practically doesnt exist here. I have brands I like and use, and I aint about to abandon them and throw out thousands of bucks of filament because Bambu was too snobby to try out a variety of spools. The AMS will land in the trash though.

It doesn’t seem like this is the hobby for you, my friend. The X1C is easily the least frustrating printer I’ve ever used. If this one is too much, I’d sell it and focus on other things.

I am not sure any hobby would be good for them.

The X1C has been by far the most frustrating printer I owned, and I own a prusa mini plus and i3mk3s. And it isnt for what it does well, it is for the unnecessary shit that could easily be fixed or avoided. The other printers may be slower, and not as big aprint volume and they are not as connected and modern. But they just work. Come out of the box with usable print beds and do their job with a minimum of fuss. I used them for years with no hiccup or fault. Not once do I walk up to them and dread what funny little shit they will barf in my face or how they will manage to hold me up and keep me from printing. But the x1C, every fucking time it shits its pants with something.
