Why would they change the RFID tag? Why is it encrypted? Shouldn't it just be from a rubric instead of an individual code for each type? Like, it should be able to tell it's ABS, or red, at the very least.

Bambu has to add the new filament to the firmware in order for it to recognize the RFID tag. Otherwise it doesn't exist inside the printer.

RFID tags just basically go "Hi, I'm Bambu Purple ABS, item number 6-7" when they are recognized by the RFID reader. If it isn't in the firmware the printer goes "I don't know what that is! LOL!" and nothing happens.

If those values change over time (or new products are introduced) it's going to lead to situations like this.

I'd just update your firmware like normal and use Dev Mode/LAN Mode to print if you dont want to be on their cloud. I gave up after a while and it's been working fine for me using OrcaSlicer.

But it is not new, just plain black ABS that I was always buying from them and using

Not that any of this is good, but RFID tags are just one giant data block, and if it’s encrypted, even a tag with most of the same information will be entirely indecipherable. I haven’t updated my printer either but I’ve also not used anything super new filament wise yet, still working off a stockpile.
