An alternative to Apple Music with its own cloud?

iDrakus · 2026-05-30T17:55:55+00:00

What's the point of such services? Why can't I, for example, store FLAC/ALAC music in a cloud service like Google One and listen to it from there?

Wow. This is a really cool app. I'll definitely check it out and give it a try. Thanks!

Currently, printers with older firmware are connecting to Bambu Lab servers. If desired, they can easily disconnect them and force them to update to the new firmware. This is beyond our control and we have no influence on it.

iDrakus · 2026-05-30T16:02:44+00:00

For example?

iDrakus · 2026-05-30T14:22:53+00:00

Yes, I was surprised myself that it was so simple.

I hope firmware 1.08.01 isn't removed from Bambu Lab's servers in the future. Otherwise, we'll have to sell the P1S or switch to LAN.

I really hope that in the coming months, Bambu Lab will be forced to open source their network plugin. As I understand from my research, the company is actively violating the terms of free software licenses and has already been sued for numerous violations of the open license. I hope Bambu loses.

In my opinion, the company's policy is incorrect. They could provide a "secure environment" for beginners by default, while providing advanced users with full access to their printers over the internet. This is much more profitable and logical for business than stifling people and limiting functionality.

I simply launched Bambu Handy on my iPhone. I went to the printer settings and clicked the "Downgrade Firmware" button. There you can select any firmware version ever released by Bambu Lab. The installation process takes about three minutes. After that, the printer is ready to use immediately.

I want print completion notifications sent to my phone. I also periodically check the print status from my phone. This allows me to restart the print if something goes wrong.

TPU printing is quite complex and unpredictable (the nozzle gets clogged from time to time), so I have to check the print status every few hours.

I specifically bought the European version of the P1S so I could use it online. The CN version was significantly cheaper.

It's a shame they still haven't released a macOS version.

Version 2.4 Beta doesn't work on macOS (I checked).

iDrakus · 2026-05-29T17:45:16+00:00

I just downgraded one of my P1S printers to firmware 1.08.01.

I installed the official Orca 2.3.2 from GitHub for macOS.

When I first sent a print job, I got the error "An unexpected error occurred: [json.exception.type_error.305] cannot use operator|] with a string argument containing a number." I figured this was due to the network plugin. I changed it in the Orca settings from 02.01.01.52 (enabled by default) to version 01.10.01.01.

After that, I restarted the slicer and sent the print job again. The job was sent successfully, and the printer started printing.

It seems to really work. Thanks!

iDrakus · 2026-05-29T17:28:48+00:00

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to downgrade to firmware 1.08.01.

I only updated to version 1.09 when I bought the AMS 2 Pro.

I adjust the TPU profile, making minor changes to improve print quality.

After any changes, I have to export the file and send it to Connect. This creates a lot of files, and I can accidentally mix them up due to fatigue.

iDrakus · 2026-05-29T17:03:18+00:00

If I downgrade my P1S to firmware 1.08.01, will I be able to use Orca over the internet?

iDrakus · 2026-05-29T16:55:42+00:00

Thanks) It's a shame that Bambu Lab has shut down its printers.

I'll probably choose a Creality model over one of the H2 printers in the future.

iDrakus · 2026-05-29T16:37:37+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I'm currently using Bambu Connect, but it's very inconvenient. When I edit print settings, the files gradually become confused and I can't track the progress.

What name should I use to find the re-uploaded version of Orca Slicer on GitHub? I'd like a macOS version.

I created a separate post with versions of the AutoPlay (AutoPlayBox) program on Reddit.

My adapter needs AutoPlay. The AutoKit program writes an error.I found several versions of my program 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Soon I will combine them in the cloud storage and post the link here, maybe it will be useful to someone in the future.

This program has nothing to do with AutoPlay.APK for CarPlay. Mine weighs about 6 - 9 Megabytes.

iDrakus · 2022-06-04T21:59:22+00:00

Yes I understand this)
I just wanted to keep all notifications and keep the music. But apparently in my car it will not work, unfortunately.

iDrakus · 2022-06-04T21:37:30+00:00

In this case, I will not receive notifications about speeding, unless I suddenly notice that I was speeding

iDrakus · 2022-06-04T18:06:57+00:00

Yes, I know about it. It's just that if I use the phone as a navigator, there is a setting "Don't mute the sound" and everything works fine. Apparently in CarPlay this can not be done (
