I missed what he said, but kudos to you on reverse engineering a way to do the X1+ firmware and board. Even if i think it’s nonsense that we have to do that kinda thing to get what should be basic networking.
I just hope Bambu just puts the generic USB networking driver on the H2D and lets us just use freaking USB (and USB hubs, no reason for them not to support that. smdh)
Do the community a favour and go buy another brand.
Live view was never smooth even with a good connection on P1S. About 2 months old machine
Yes, there’s a perfectly legitimate reason as to why.
And that’s “Pricing”… In order to remain competitive and stay within the market avg consumer spending rates, you cut corners in specific areas while showcasing the upgrades justifying price increases.
I’d bet a lot of R&D with money, time and resources went towards their servo design. They didn’t need to since there’s many extruders and motors already developed and work outstandingly well BUT it’s not made or designed by bambu lab. They’re wanting to orientate themselves towards in house products that no one else has in order to raise that capital.
I wouldn’t doubt seeing a future servo-stepper “upgrade” part towards this generation. It was already odd enough not seeing them implement it on the XYZ steppers.
Bro we’re talking about a part that is less than $0.50 each in orders of 20k units. Less if more. I stopped reading right there because your excuse making is stupid.
Yes. There is no excuse not to have ethernet. It is the ultimate answer to many, many problems. My machine sits right on top of where my office switch is but the wifi was flaky. I ended up replacing the swich with a router configured as an AP.
Wifi is a nice option but should never be the only one for a device like this.
Honestly, for what it is, I’d take 10Mb. Better than having a large print stall and timeout mid-upload.
I have two X1Cs and an H2D that SHOULD have been delivered, but the patheitic courtier they use has held it for 7 days now.
hoiwever, the wifit is fine for a printer and does not need to be a newer generation. It works fine.
Qidi Plus 4 on the other hand is appalling and i simply cannot use the wifi at all with mine - it is sitting at the side of the X1Cs that worlk perfectly over wifi
the Qidi will be sold anbd rep]laced witha decent printer (H2D)
I here you.
I am guessing like me you have a smart home with tons of little 2.4 ghz items clogging up the 2.4 band and even though you use Ubiquity or something similar the camera is still not so great?
I noticed this when I saw my friends camera feed was smooth on their phone. I thought that low frame rate was just what the camera did before I saw that. The thing that got me was no ethernet port. I was going to put the printer on its own network to see if that helped the traffic but have not yet.
I have a printer we just put in the office and the camera on that one is fine. Because we use very little 2.4 ghz in my office.
significant cochannel from neighbors.
I’m a network engineer as well and although I agree that a lot of iot uses antiquated chipsets, that doesn’t mean it’s right. Forcing people to allow more antiquated encryption types, backwards compatibility mode, and higher power consumption operation to support the “latest and greatest innovation in printing” is ridiculous.
Additionally, You can’t honestly tell me that there is no tangible advantage to more modern Wi-Fi chipsets, especially in Wi-Fi 6 and above. For printing the experience would be equivalent but generally it’s a giant leap forward.
I have two working X1Cs that have been runining for a year. I know exactly what i am talking about. The wifi is working absiluytely fine with no issues of any kind. Ohh, and I am an electronics engineer with 30+ years experience, so actuaully i would suggest i know considerbaly more than you appear to
Nothing to see here, next message.
The QIDI Plus 4 is open sourced, therefore you can open the rear MB cover (6) screws and remove the pathetic cheap usb wifi dongle installed and add a $10 wifi ax6000 adapter for better connectivity.
I installed an older nighthawk usb/mag base extender to ours so it runs outside the printer and connects onto a magnetic usb base. Never had a single issue and slice > uploads are near seemless times
You not having problems doesn’t mean something isn’t a problem. The world doesn’t revolve around you.
It’s ironic that you say this in a thread that you authored about something that seems is really only important to you.
No no, you misunderstood Danidil.
Denidil wasn’t saying the world doesn’t resolve around anyone. Danidil was saying that the world revolves around him, so how could it revolve around anyone else?!
funny how you ignore that another networking person came in and agreed, and the designer of X1+, and the a lot of people just liked the thread and didn’t feel like arguing with the ignorant people in the comments. also how many people have complained about networking problems before (easy google search, tons of posts on reddit and here)
but you know, you must be right and i must be a hypocrite because you feel that it is true
They’re not … Huh. I guess we hire the wrong people for our plant since a degree is required for the openings.
funny how they do this and the “security update”, and also how community was able to hack it within 2 days lol
