Prints not downloading

I’m pulling my hair out over this. Just today I cannot download to my P1S. I have tried cloud mode and LAN mode, and back again. Except that going back now won’t let me connect via Bambu Studio. Is there something wrong with the cloud servers? It’s just happened, and there have been no recent updates. What would be really helpful would be a wired connection (USB, ethernet) between printer and desktop. Something to think about Bambu??

Welcome to the forum.

I would look at your network as the issue as LAN mode doesn’t use the Cloud servers. Try power cycling your router and printer.

Good point about the LAN mode. Both modes, I can’t connect. Changed the Micro SD, reset the network, powered everything off. Still playing with it.

A fall back testing measure can be to hotspot your phone and use it to connect the printer to the cloud.

Now everything is working again, and quite quickly. Reset all accounts and logins. Reset all systems although I am pretty confident the network wasn’t the problem. Am connected in cloud mode. LAN mode didn’t connect last time I tried. Wiki says I should have been asked for an Access code. This never happened. A hard connection would still be a good idea for the future.

My first week with the Bambulabs P1S was just a big hassle with this problem. I tested everything. Changing SD cards, Login in logging out. Update Firmware, revert Firmware, factory resets… the distributoer even send me a new “AP” circuit board which I changed. But no solution. I then for some reason tested to put the printer on it’s own WIFI, then it just started working. No issues anymore. I ended up creating a “GUEST” WIFI on my router (ASUS) and the printer is the only device on that WIFI net.

So the issue seems to be related to my WIFI in combination with the printer.

Yup for all the hardware working superbly the slicer is sort of slow and seems to lag at times

I had this same issue and tried everything I could think of.
Solution: Took out the SD card and wiped it clean of all files. Delete and trash them all. (There was hundreds of files to trash…fyi) Re-inserted the card. Print successful started.
Seems like the SD Card cache can get full and they do not delete the old files as you continue to send more prints.
Hope this helps

I got an error message, but don’t know how to factory reset. The number is: Error 0500-4003 010800. I’ll let you know if I figure anything out if you could do the same.

That person posted over a year ago, I don’t think they’ll see this. That error is:
“Printing stopped because the printer was unable to parse the file. Please resend your print job.”. Try swapping out the SD card and then make sure the printer can read the new one.

Ok thank you I appreciate it! Haha I didn’t even see that they posted it a year ago that’s my bad.

I ran into the same issue today. The solution for me was to turn off and then turn on the wifi on my X1C. Went to settings, flipped the radio button for “WLAN” to off, and then flipped it back on. Files downloaded within 10 seconds after I flipped it back on. Hope this helps.

This is a temporary workaround and never the solution.
I will need to do this everytime after a print to get my P1S to download prints from the cloud. This cloud thing will be a joke if I have to power cycle the machine or reconnect the wifi by being physically around the machine.
I think it could be related to the printer going to sleep after the last print and need to notify the cloud that it is back online by doing all those wifi connection things.

Having same issue here.

From either Bambu Handy App or from Bambu Studio. I start the print and it begins downloading. It makes it about halfway (showing on both the app and/or the printer display) progress bar indicator…and freezes.

Have tried power cycle, switching SD cards, etc. The hardware and software has worked very well up until this point.

Seeking guidance here. I’d prefer to not have to reset to factory settings and start over. Unless that is the only option left.

Help!

Just to add another voice, my P1P has been doing this for about a week. I’ll try the SD card swap and see if that helps. Otherwise Ive done everything in this thread to no avail.

I ended up having to do the factory reset and start from scratch. Works again, but that set up process is sort of a drag. Glad it ended up being a simple fix.

SD drive corrupted somehow. Possibly due to power failure.
Replaced the microSD

Possible fix:
I did all of the above like relog into the printer, factory reset, manual upload to sd card, reinstall bambu studio, relog into bambu studio, power cycle, format sd card, except do LAN because of network restrictions where I work.
But all of these still had the issue of infinite download/could not parse gcode.

At least until I formatted the sd card and uploaded a slice to it directly on my computer. Now it accepts cloud prints just fine. I believe reinstalling bambu lab might have also helped. Hope this helps you guys.

I replaced the factory SD card and it fixed the issue.
