So, I was looking on Amazon yesterday night to see if Bambu Lab had any items for sale and came across this cautionary text from BIQU relating to the Panda Touch.
I don’t know exactly when Bambu Lab rolled out their firmware update, 01.08.00.00 and then promptly pushed out 01.08.01.00 due to issues with 08.00 but seems like 4 weeks or so back.
I read that as the Touch is already out of date AND they’ll update the Touch firmware whenever
Actually, the panda touch can work past FW 1.07 but anything beyond will render all commands inoperable (you can still monitor) unless you select developer mode and LAN Only Mode on FW1.08 and beyond or stay with FW1.07. Problem is if you want to purchase a AMS2 or AMS HT you need firmware 1.08.00.00 so will kill panda touch commands unless going LAN only mode of course
I bought one for same reason that most people probably buy a Touch. The touchpad that comes with the P1 is pretty low-end.
It did not impress me. I ditched it after about a day, cleaned up an old Samsung tablet I have and installed Bambu Handy on tablet. Bought a tablet mount and mounted Samsung tablet at printer. Way better than the Touch and Bambu Lab manages the firmware, not BIQU
Those are a lot of assumptions when BIQU tells you up front they only guarantee Touch functionality through 01.07.00 which is already in the rearview mirror on up to date machines.
