I have been running my 2 A1 almost non stop since I purchased them, Yesterday however the first A1 stopped communicating with my Wifi. I’ve had this issue before and usually a reboot or an access code change would fix it, but not this time. It had an IP address and the proper access code but neither Bamnu Studio nor Orca slicer to talk to the printer. I rebooted everything in the network but still it simply wouldn’t connect. All my other Bambu printers A1’s and P1S were fine. I tried a factory reset. Nope. So I thought lets update the firmware. Nope. So here is where it gets weird. I downgraded the firmware back to the previous version now it was having issues seeing the SD card. Went and upgraded the firmware again, and now it worked. In fact it worked better than it used too. This A1 is one of the first releases, so I’m not sure if there are major differences between it and my other A1. Any ideas?
Thanks

Have the same issue today. Yesterday A1 printed fine, today - connection problem. May be it is a problem with servers that Bambulab uses for connection between printers & accounts…
It is the problem with Bambulab servers - Bambu Handy doesn’t work too
It might depend what region your in or the frequency connection, there can be many factors to this…
Hmmm, This makes me think it could be a slicer issue then. All my printers are in LAN Mode and it’s air gaped network. I also use Bigtreetech Bambu Touches on the A1’S and the P1S’s they were all connected to the printers even the one that was giving me an issue. don’t use the Bambu Handy app at all other than firmware upgrades (which is utterly stupid to begin with) But it seems the slicers have to be online in order to function. I’ve upgraded to Orca 2.3.0 (which I like all the extra features in) I also upgraded to Bambu 2 which I really don’t like all that much. I find the new user interface clunky and awkward. also I’ll never be able to afford an HD2 so I wish there was a way to remove all of it’s stuff from the slicer. Now I hear there is another firmware updates for P1S’s but as usual the reason for it is very unclear.
Thanks for the replys

Doesn’t matter what region if it worked yesterday and I didn’t change anything.
I thought that it might be new Orca slicer, but I didn’t update Bambu slicer - still on 1.10.2.75. Doesn’t work too.
I supposed that might be a problem with Bambu plugin that was reinstalled on new version with Orca updating, but why Bambu Handy on my iPhone doesn’t work?
That’s odd, is it outdated?
Im in South Africa, and I have the same issue. Cant connect to my A1 printer. ALSO, my A1 somehow, without my consent updated to the latest firmware. I DID NOT ATHORIZE it do that. so not sure if Bambu somehow did a over ride. but now I just want to sell this thing.
Maybe there’s a setting around the printer somewhere to disable it, so far my A1 has been working fine in my region and it does update but before it does it asks me but maybe sometimes it does it by itself.
