Bambu Handy wont bind with printer

Apparently you cant manually conect to a network and everything has to go thru the Handy app?

I have a new P1S and trying to get connected to network but cant do anything until i bind the printer to my account in Handy. Nowhere do they say you are required to have a phone or tablet to get the printer fully functional. And if they arent going to give me one or the other they need to come up with a way to not be forced to use one.

It seems like there are tons of people having issues with this but many of them sound like they can do things outside the app but i cant see anyway to do anything and just get asked to use the app to bind the printer first

The main issue im having, is that the printer wont give me a pin number to connect over bluetooth. Ive been trying for 2 days and just had to flirt with the forum for 20 min just to be able to post.

At this point im about ready to strap 20 pounds of tannerite to the thing and go have target practice…

Im so frustrated and angry at the moment that hopefully ill be able to make a comprehensible post by the time i get a reply…
