We can now connect to FTP on the P1 and A1 Series

I can confirm this worked great on my MacBook Air using FileZilla for my A1 mini.

Here are the instructions pulled together in one place:

  1. Download FileZilla, if you don’t already have it (Download FileZilla Client for macOS (Intel))
  2. Get your Printer’s IP address and password for FileZilla
  3. To do this, tap on your A1 Mini screen
  4. Tap on Setting(s)
  5. Scroll down, and tap on LAN Only Mode (just to get IP address and Access Code)
  6. Write down, or otherise note the Access Code (this is your password for FileZilla)
  7. Write down, or otherise note the IP address (it’ll be a string of numbers with decimal points, like 10.100.10.1 or 192.168.197.10)
  8. Open FileZilla
  9. In the Host enter your printer’s IP address
  10. Enter the Username as bblp (I’m not sure why, someone above may have mentioned why, but hey! It works! Same with the Port)
  11. Use 990 for the Port
  12. Click Quickconnect
  13. On the right half of your screen look for, and click on the folder called Timelapse
  14. You can download the files to view them, or delete the files from here if you don’t need them anymore.
  15. I needed software to view the video files. I used VLC. You can download it from here, if you don’t already have it: https://www.videolan.org

Bonus:
You can also access the sample models that come with the printer in this same folder structure, look for the the folder: “model”.
You can also see the last things you printed, etc. Nerdy fun stuff. :nerd_face:
