Printing Offline

Dumb question, wifi works, but some idiot drilled into the Fiber coming into our town. Do I need to turn on LAN mode to print now?

That or transfer prints via usb.

Now that I’ve been without internet for 2 days, it is really making me scratch my head why the print files need to be sent to the cloud before they get pulled to the printer. I put the job onto a USB and it is going now, but when I had them both on my throttled hotspot/mobile router, jobs were making it to the cloud, but failing to pull.

Not to rehash stuff from the past, but annoying that you lose features if you turn LAN mode on.

Don’t worry, it’s not like the cloud filters/modifies/archives your gcode before your machine comes back to download it. The system checks that right? right? I’m sure its all very integral, and that this device that gets hot enough to combust fuel is doing exactly what that downloaded cloud data tells it.

//you should be very suspicious of this, good job

I’ll have to add this to my list of things to do. With LAN mode on, a “local” cloud that can provide all of the features that are missing. In the end, this may be the best plan anyway.

Currently building a Voron, so there will likely be some overlap in what I am trying to accomplish.


Now getting this error when trying to print.

Edit: Closed Bambu Studio and restarted it, sliced again, and now it sent the job.

I run my three printers on a mobile hotspot without any issue so it can work.
