I'm pretty sure I was successful with putting both my Bambu printers on LAN mode and setting up my router to block their connection to the internet before potentially unknowingly updating to this garbage firmware version. We'll see, definitely not buying another Bambu for the foreseeable future. I bet Prusa is pretty happy about this decision from Bambu.

Did you just block the device by mac? Or only specific endpoints?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I blocked it using my router's GUI, I imagine it goes by the MAC address but I'm not sure.

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

If you looked at the list of LAN clients then blocked one (the printer), then, yes, you blocked the MAC of that client.

I tried switching to LAN, it took multiple attempts and half a day to get my mini to show up as a choice for LAN mode in Bambu Studio. And then when shut off for the night, it was gone again in the morning. As in it couldn't be found. And now it's back to Studio not connecting to it.

I'm not sure what I can do besides using the sneaker net to run it.

Maybe they are happy, but does this help them ? Maybe a little bit in the short term, but Prusa offers are on a different price range. Higher prices where justified in the past by delivering a better quality, better out off the box experience and innovative features compared to competitors until Bambu reshaped the market.

The team at Prusa shouldn't feel happy, they should feel comforted in their strategy of supporting open-source and community efforts. But, above all, they should see an opening to gain back the front stage if they are able to provide a printer at the right price and the right features

Now, given they just launched the CORE One, priced at 1350€ assembled, I doubt they have anything ready to reveal right now to amaze us.

If you did update, you should be able to rollback

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Someone on youtube (possibly Louis Rossman) said that they made it so you couldn't revert back but I don't know whether or not that's true.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Maybe not easily, but I'm not aware of a way to prevent people from manually flashing a new firmware replacing what's there.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I don't think anyone does at this point.
