Transfer file from Studio to printer

Bambu Lab A1 Series Bambu Lab A1 mini

I’m thinking I got the wrong printer for me at 74 yrs. old

I spent 7 hours trying setup the printer, WI-FI, Bambu Studio and Studio finding the printer.

Putting the printer together was easy and running setup, I don’t know why videos show that and not connection between printer / computer.

I didn’t print anything, I’m trying use a file from Thingiverse. Don’t I have to be able to see the SD card in Studio

I don’t want to use a phone unless it’s land line :slight_smile:

Is LAN on the printer ON or OFF? It’s OFF. You would think the printer would have a USB port.

The return 14 days are ticking away.

Thanks

I am 68 years old, I had some issues with wifi connection but I moved the printer closer to my router and that was fixed.
Once your wifi is connected, when you slice a plate , chose SEND from the drop down menu where it says PRINT PLATE - then click the SEND button to put the file onto the printers SD card without printing - from that point you can print that file directly from the touch screen.

Good luck - when you get it sorted, printing is easy as long as you have a well sliced file.

Have you successfully connected the printer to wifi and can see it in the bambu studio?
