I installed the P1P->P1S upgrade some time ago.
The new firmware is supposed to support this upgrade.
I have the following problem:
Slice with P1P profile and I am told I sliced the file wiyth a setting for a different printer and can I confirm.
This is the opposite way round to before when if I sliced with P1S profile (because a .3mf defined it as a P1S and I forgot to change it) I would get that warning.
Sloce with a P1S profile and it will send to the upgraded P1P.
So far so good I guess, BUT…
The P1P is still seen as a P1P in the Device tab of BS (or Orca). I cannot use the P1S profile and retrieve my filaments from the AMS because the printer in the Device tab has to be the same as the printer in the profile.
So this seems half-implemented. I can either go back to non-upgraded setting in the printer screen or I have to specify P1P profile, sync filaments, then change to P1S to slice and choose P1P when I send to the printer.
That’s nonsensical.
Has anyone found how to make this work properly? Really the P1P needs to be able to be updated in the Bambu cloud so it recognises it is P1S and shows it as such on the Device tab.
Yes. That is just the point. With that selected I get the sync/incorrect profile error/warning above.
If I disable that, I can slice P1P, print to P1P and sync filament from the P1P AMS.
If I enable it I cannot sync because the P1P is only seen as a P1P on the Device page so I caannot select a P1S to sync from.
But if I slice with P1P profile I get warned that the target printer (which is a P1P on the device page even though it is upgraded) is not compatible with a P1P (which again, is what the device says I am trying to priont to).
I can’t. My P1P shows as a P1P on the devices tab. I cannt select P1S. That IS the problem. I know it’s what I want to do - it’s not available.
When you register the printer with BL it takes the model from the serial number I believe so my P1P will never be seen as a P1S.
No I mean in studio go into add or remove printers, go to the Bambu Lab section and add in your printer as a P1S for whatever nozzles you have (or tick all boxes) and remove the P1P ones. You’ll have to add in any custom print or filament profiles again though.
This is what I’ve done with mine and I don’t get any errors.
I already have it as a P1S printer profile (anbd I still have the P1P profile).
That doesn’t change what BS or Orca thinks I physically have and can send to. It doesn’t change the P1P on the Device page to a P1S. That is the source of the issue - that the profile doesn’t match the physical device Bambu Cloud thinks it is sending to.
Have you managed somehow to make BS think you have a P1S to dsend to on the Device tab?
I haven’t removed the P1P but I have added the P1S.
Hence I can select the P1S profile asd I said initially.
If I remove the P1P I won’t be able to sync the filaments at all. I will be able to slice with P1S profile and send to the P1P without a warning. But because it IS a P1P I am sending to still, I will have no filaments seen if I try to sync them to the P1S profile. BS will look at the printer selected in Devices, see there is no P1S and return an error that there are no filaments to sync.
If I remove the profile altogether will that remove the P1P from the devices tab? And how then do I add it to the tab as a P1S?
When I added the P1S profile I was never asked to add a P1S printer to the devices available, it just came up as X1C and P1P to choose from.
Well I tried removing the P1P from the Printer selection list as suggested. The P1P profile remains on the BS profile list and the device tab shows X1C and P1P as before.
OK, so logged out on all running instances of BS and Orca, including Handy.
Removed the P1P from my account.
Logged back in with Orca. I don’t recall now how I got it to find another printer on the network apart from the X1C I had left intact - I think it just popped up on the Device page as a printer and asked if I wanted to add it.
Did so and named it P1S.
It now syncs with the P1S profile active.
I did too many things at one here so I am noot sure if it would have worked just be renaming P1P to P1S but I don’t see why that should be as I could have left it with the cryptic name it autogenerates.
I suspect that when removed and added as a new printer, perhaps BL cloud service asks the printer what it is and the new firmware reports it is P1S if you have nebaled the flag?
That’s a gues though.
Now, if I select the P1S profile none of my P1P-specific filament settings are visible, but no P1S default profiles have been created either and I only see X1C specific profiles, so I have had to recreate all the P1S filament profiles I had by copying those settings into new profiles.
Seems to be working though.
