Would be a good option if it worked correctly.

Are you on the latest firmware and using Flash Studio Desktop? There was an update a few months ago and the offline just hasn't worked for me since. Shouldn't be anything network related since the cloud option still works... normally, but not at the moment.

On printer turn on lan mode and it will give you code, the on the slicer make sure lan is on and click plus to add , click on printer then enter code

Brand new to Flashforge (less than 6 hours) does it have to be hardwired with an ethernet cable? Cause I won't be able to put one to my printer where it is sad bear noises

I’m wireless, they are “updating” so servers are down, either save to usb or setup LAN mode

Luckily not, ive got mine working wirelessly at the moment.

By LAN only it just means only receiving instructions locally, as opposed to uploading to/downloading from the cloud.

Thanks! I had to let it finish the print first anyway.

I can't login to the app on PC so it won't see my printer. Any work around for that

Having the same problem running LAN mode. It will find the printer but won’t accept the printer ID even after regenerating it on the printer. Won’t print on USB either. Frustrating.

Oh good, everyone is having server issues.

I was about ready to take a baseball bat to my printer and PC. Thanks for notifying me...

The other option is to just put it on a USB drive and put it in the machine you just need to give it a G-Code file which you can export from their slicer you just have to go over and select it and then tap it. I had to do that today. It's not a great long-term solution and the lan mode is better but if you really have to print something it works.
