X1E manual IP settings via display not working

Bambu Lab X1 Series Troubleshooting
1

Hey everybody,

currently, on my X1E, which, afaik has been advertised as an enterprise printer (?!?), it is not possible to change the IP address in LAN Settings via the display.

When i type in all the network data, it is instantly empty after confirming the settings. It is set back to 0.0.0.0.

Could anybody solve this problem? Or is there a workaround? And no, i can´t use WiFi.

Thanks in advance.

Also having this issue with our new x1e. Anybody have any luck with this?

Since the documentation seems to show this is possible it might be a bug, you might want to open a ticket for this.

As a workaround, can you do a DHCP reservation for the IP you want assigned to the printer ? This is what I did here with my X1C over wifi.

Yeah, somehow, providing once a DHCP address allows the further manual IP configuration. So far so good. But! Bambu Studio uses only Multicast via SSDP to connect to the printer. Where in the heck did the developers forgot to implement a direct connection in a “enterprise” Product.
Advertising LAN Mode and then using Multicast? Really?!? Thats so annoying and embarrassing. And yes, company policy forbids multicast.

My guess is the X1E is only an X1C with an Ethernet port basically… same software.

My printers are on a separate VLAN here, so multicast doesn’t pass and it’s using cloud to connect I’d guess… that’s another issue in an enterprise environment.

Although I have noticed in the logs that the video stream is somehow connecting directly to the private ip of the printer anyway.

Multicast and routing via 3rd party cloud for auth/logins are definitely not the “enterprise” standards - these make even the “enterprise” offering here not actually useable in most actual enterprises with networking and security teams…

We’d also be very interested in bambu studio allowing direct device mapping via IP so we can get things working in LAN mode…

Someone could be in hot water for bringing one of these X1Es into a company.

FTP port is open in LAN mode and it’s possible to send gcode exported from Bambu Studio directly from corporate approved FTP connections (WinSCP in my case)
