My experience with the BTT and the Panda Touch

There seems to be a bit of a struggle going on between Panda and Bambu, maybe because Panda’s require a very special diet…

For obvious reasons our printers come with certain security features.
We might not agree to all and how they affect things but can’t be selective.
Either LAN only or fully open to the entire world.
Any remote access to our printers has to be secure and meet Bambu specs.
A constant tug of war to stay on top of changes and making features work…

The Panda touch is basically just a custom made tablet and what it does could be done with a smartphone app running on any tablet.
The X1E offer the Ethernet port we all would love to have, but comes a hefty price for such a little and for other manufacturers standard thing…
Bambu is very close knit when it comes being supportive for gaining access to their machines.

It was suggested/requested in the past that Bambu would allow for custom security tokens third party manufacturers and users could access/obtain from Bambu.
The user could created custom RF-ID tags and people/companies trying offer remote control tablets and such could gain all access to what the token allows for.
Of course these token would be generated by Bambu using the usual 2FS methods to result in hardware bound token.
Works only only on the device created for…
Would be nice to hear if Bambu is still considering these options and if there is a chance future versions of Studio or the account management will support it…

I was thinking of getting one for my P1S…but thinking should i now lol…

It’s really up to you. It’s improved as far as features and it works…mostly.

Just be sure if you do have any problems you reach out to them before the warranty expires. They will not help you one bit after that, regardless if it’s been an ongoing problem or not.

Thanks for the info…but customer service is not best which is a shame…
