I recently switched my Bambu A1 printer to LAN Only mode but now Bambu Studio is giving me problems.
When I add the printer in Bambu Studio (using Access Code from the printer) then it works fine, but only until I close Bambu Studio.
When I later start Bambu Studio again, it has forgotten about the printer and shows “no printer”.
I must then first reconnect the printer in Studio again, which requires me to enter the Access Code again. This is getting increasingly annoying and provides a bad user experience each time again.
In LAN only mode, I still get “No Printer”, but at least the printer is still listed in the dropdown and the access code does not need to be re-entered.
An OrcaSlicer fix for this problem of a “forgotten” LAN-only printer seems to have been found, and is awaiting approval for merging with v2.3.0-dev. It also fixes binding to a printer in a different subnet.
More info here:
Use at your own risk, since it is not yet really even a nightly beta release, but my X1C has been found on startup for the past three days.
Update, November 2025: OrcaSlicer has never “forgotten” my printer since this fix was incorporated into OrcaSlicer 2.3.0. Bambu Studio still shows No Printer until I re-select it on the Device tab.
I have the same problem on my X1E. Had everything working fine for over a year and now I cannot connect LAN only mode. Happened after I updated firmware. Tried to go back to previous firmware and no luck.
Updating my earlier post, my LAN-only X1C has not been “forgotten” by OrcaSlicer since Noisyfox made the change in beta January 31. That change is now a part of the OrcaSlicer V2.3.0 Official Release.
No need to keep entering an access code, no need to re-select a printer, it is always ready to print.
However, Studio 1.10 and 2.0 both continue to say “No Printer” until I select the printer again.
Same problem looks like I have. Was using Lan, but of course you can’t see your X1C on your phone unless you are “binded” with the printer, so I bound using Access code and all was good. Turned off printer, and when I turned back on Bamboo studio says it can’t find printer, even though my phone app says “online”. Only choice now in Studio is “bind with code” or “bind with access code”. I try access code again and it says “The printer has already been bound”. So now what? Studio still says it can’t see the printer???
Tried it again. Turned off LAN Only mode, Scanned the QR code with phone and it found it. I can see everything about the printer from my phone. Now trying to connect to Bambo Studio (PC) with Access Code, press connect and get the error “The printer has already been bound”, but Studio still says No Printer found. My Studio is the same account I originally used. I did log out and log back in. Still no change.
Is there any fix for this. I am having the same issue. I have uninstalled & re-installed the software, switched the printers on and off, logged off and back in, altered user names (matching on both the printers and Bambu Lab). Still connecting on phone but not on PC.
Since months I’m not having this issue anymore. I don’t remember exactly since when and what versions but I currently use the following versions:
My A1 combo printer runs in (W)LAN mode with firmware version 1.06.00 (which I installed via microSD card).
I currently use BambuStudio version v02.02.01.58 on Windows 11 (I’m not logged-in to BambuStudio). I downloaded everything manually, no app.
I checked the above versions in advance to verify if they pose any possible Authentication Control risks and apparently they don’t. I haven’t checked or upgraded to newer versions since (yet).
Version 2.4.0.70 here with a P2S. Same problem. LAN only mode, and I have to manually enter the IP address and the access code every single time I start the software. Is there a workaround yet? Editing the config file does not work for me.
Yeah, that was one of the first things I checked. When I updated it, it corrupted the configuration files and another file pertaining to slicing. So, I wound up having to totally delete the software, delete my user settings, download, reinstall, re-setup, reset my computer, delete the configuration file, delete the software again, re-download (just in case), reinstall, re-setup, restart my computer, redo the setup again for some unknown reason, and then it only crashed when trying to slice and kept shutting down (that popup where windows tells me the program stopped and it shut it down), then re-download (just in case, just in case), reinstall, restart my computer, re-do the whole setup process, turn off my printer, wait 30 seconds, turn my printer back on, restart my computer, redo setup and now it’s working again. Naturally, I’m running virus scans etc, just in case because, you know, certain countries in the world like to spy, and I trust no one. But hey, at least this hour long process of insanity worked. Really stable release, I guess…
