"The X1 series has the capability to detect failures/spaghetti based on the processing power it has. This system uses a machine-learning algorithm and all the data processing is done locally.
When the printer is used in LAN mode, the printer behaves just like when it is not connected to the internet and uses local processing to provide this feature.
If the printer is not connected to the cloud, and the user improvement option is not enabled, the printer will rely only on the information it has in the latest firmware for failure detection, which might be outdated compared to the cloud-connected experience where the AI model is updated regularly."(Spaghetti detection working local or not? Why is cloud needed?)
Sgaghetti detection works well for me right now, and I rarely have spaghetti, so I don’t care if it gets better or not.
Except for firmware updates and the Handy app, everything else works without the cloud. LAN-only control of lights, bed/nozzle heat, bed/head positioning have always been accessible via Studio. AMS with Studio or OrcaSlicer works just fine in LAN-only mode.
I believe the Bambu CEO has said in interviews that firmware updates via SD card or LAN will be coming. Though if Bambu implodes and the cloud dissipates, there won’t be any further firmware updates anyway.
I don’t know if the Handy app will ever work in LAN-only mode, or if any Bambu printer is capable of serving as a server direct to a phone app. More likely a networked computer could be used to provide server capability, either as a stand alone application or perhaps as part of Studio or OrcaSlicer.
Again, the current firmware works just fine as it is, with or without the cloud.
