I bought a bambulab X1 Carbon for the office because I have one at home and am happy with it. However, in the company we have much higher IT security. For example, the internet can only be accessed via a proxy server. But I can’t set this up in Bambu Studio, which is why it can’t load the network plugin. (I wonder why this is not integrated anyway). So I set up a mobile hotspot with my smartphone and used it to download the plugin. However, the installation was not possible because Bambu Studio requires admin rights for this! Although this is a massive security risk, I did it anyway. Now the network plug-in could be installed. However, if I now want to start Bambu Studio without admin rights, the programme wants to download and install the network plugin again because it is supposedly missing, but this is not possible. furthermore, I cannot log in with my Bambu account because this damned plugin is missing. Even if I could install it, I would probably have the problem that I can’t establish communication with the printer. Because it doesn’t support proxy servers either. Apart from that, it is in a different VLAN and IP address range than my computer. Unfortunately, I cannot configure the IP address of the printer in Bambu Studio either.
I seriously wonder who would bring such a miserable software to the market and have the impression that it is in any case about redirecting the user data via Chinese servers for espionage purposes.
