I may not have made myself clear with my original argument, I meant to say offline controls are clearly possible. So if offline controls are possible there’s 0 excuses for controls not to be available in LAN-only mode. (LAN-only is wifi connected, cloud disabled)
> All of the things you can control on your smartphone can be controlled on the printer itself, so what’s the point?
It is way easier to tap a button on the app when dealing with hardware issues than using the built in menus (that’s my opinion). But more importantly there is no valid reason to not make them available in LAN-only mode, that was an intentional decision on their part.
> That is, I will just say right now, not how 90%+ of customers would expect an app to work. For most people, a smartphone app that only works at home is confusing and upsetting.
The 3D printing community is pretty technical, so I think anyone disabling cloud mode would be able to understand the consequences. An opt-out (without degrading the experience) is all bambu owners are asking for. And keep in mind 3D printers are a fire hazard so printing while you aren’t home is a risk.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoI told you already, it’s called Bambu Studio. It offers remote control, and monitoring, to a locally networked PC. https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/remote-control https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/remote-co... You just can’t do it from your phone. Which, considering your phone likes connecting to cell phone towers (and thus disconnecting from your printer), I completely get why they didn’t want to bother.
- BugsJustFindMe 3y ago> considering your phone likes connecting to cell phone towers (and thus disconnecting from your printer) I don't know what kind of weird broken phones you have, but every smart phone I've ever used has had no trouble connecting to things on local networks via wifi even when not in a cell deadzone. Your objection sounds made up to me.
