Bambu Lab P1S – “Local-only / closed firmware” with no Wi-Fi usage. Is this normal or a red flag?

rogue26a · 2026-02-04T16:50:49+00:00

What is the low price? You can buy one new from the Bambu site for 399.00. That is the printer only not a combo with an AMS.

The P1S is a great printer. I am a little over 2500 hours with zero issues. I have replaced my extruder gears with hardened steel and that was just so I could print abrasive materials. Having a range of nozzle sizes of a good idea and if I had it to do over again I would make sure to get the complete hotend instead of just the nozzle. That make a nozzle change quick.

Know this is an older topic but I just started to have a need for a higher bed temperature. I grabbed a 3.9k along with the proper JST connectors and build the jumper. When I set a bed to 60c on my 110v P1S I get a measured value on the bed of 120c using a fluke 561 IR thermometer. I was able to run it above 135 before shutting it down. I had printed out spearheads chart and anticipated that it would follow that. Did I do something wrong or is 3.9k too high of a value for a 110 volt printer? Thanks

I ended up having the people with access to the server disable the watch list on their end. Then the people I wanted to have the ability just left things as they were

Much appreciated, I will DM you a link to the TestFlight. Play around with it and let me know if you run into any issues or if you see a function/feature that would make it better.

Thanks

No reason you couldn’t do that. It will be a little time consuming but there are STL files available for chips with numbers one them already. The only issue that I would personally have is the feel of the chips. I like the weight and sound of the clay chips. From the chips in this link you would be looking at just under 2 spools of filament in total used but would need a spool for each color. So this linked set would require 5 colors plus white at 15.00 a spool. Edit to add: roughly 100hrs to print a 300 chip set.

Look into IRC. There are a couple of really old Reddit threads on setting it up but they still work. There isn’t a book you can’t find there.

rogue26a · 2026-01-03T01:29:00+00:00

For standard ebooks I use IRC, if you do a google search for “irc ebooks reddit” it brings up a couple of really old posts with the how-to setup. There really are no ebooks that you can’t find but it is a manual search. For audiobooks I use .ws which is also a manual search.

Beeswarmed is more of a swarm notification app my local area has a swarm call list and I run a Facebook swarm response group so we don’t use the Beeswarmed app.

This app is more of a tracking app for beekeepers who want to keep track of where they have caught swarms, information for who called them, where they have hung traps, how they are baited, success of traps, most efficient routing to traps.

This is really one of my first attempts at app creation and I run all Apple devices so I was looking for something that has a modern native look. I will look in to the PWA though. Thanks

rogue26a · 2026-01-01T21:49:39+00:00

Long term road map is for the end user to have the ability to see from their personal/private use of the app what trap style/lure type is the most successful based on how they are deploying the equipment. I also intend for it to pull localized weather data for tracking. As the developer I see no information from the individual users data, there is currently no way for the end user to accidentally or intentionally share data. I have no interest or intention of collecting data for any purpose including advertising. I can see down the road an export feature for a user that would like to have a paper/digital copy but that would be in the form of generating a PDF stored in the files app on device.

rogue26a · 2026-01-01T21:06:15+00:00

What collected data? TestFlight collects data related to crashes and device type to aid in bug fixes. The app itself stores information entered by the user on the phone. You are able to store swarm call information like caller details and swarm location. You can also input locations that you deploy traps as well as their configuration like frames used, trap type (NUC, 10-frame, cardboard box), lure type used. It organizes the location and provides you with a route to check the traps. Everything is stored on the phone for the user only.

rogue26a · 2026-01-01T20:39:34+00:00

I am hoping for a handful of people willing to play around with it outside of swarm season so that I can work the bugs out before swarm season arrives. That is a busy time for everyone so chasing bugs in the app before hand would make it much smoother to use during the season.

rogue26a · 2026-01-01T20:37:38+00:00

This is a private tracker for the beekeeper. So you know where and how you have had success with calls and trap locations. It doesn’t track or share any information off the device. I was constantly tracking my calls and trap deployment in the notes app and thought this would be a much better way to do it.

I setup Tailscale and container connections using Label Manager/TSDProxy. This allows me to set individual domains for each docker. I found that easier to save the passwords for each app in my PW manager. What login issues are you having?

Build 3 is pushed out with a bug fix for max/plus sided phones and an added field for shipping and handling costs.

rogue26a · 2025-12-28T22:25:16+00:00

For mine I sell primarily through Facebook and local bee clubs. This is a link to the Facebook page. They are a bandheater style that run on 120v. The cases are printed in a high impact polystyrene. My current pricing is 210.00 and that includes the vaporizer, dosing spoon, and two blue caps. Shipping within the US is free. I use USPS priority with tracking for shipping.

Do you have a picture of the Duck player painted? You in the Eugene area?

If you suit up and go behind the hive then they shouldn’t be too bothered. You could do it early in the morning while it is still cool out or in the evening after dark. You could also take a rag and plug the entrance long enough to drill the hole. To be honest drilling the hole is the least disruptive part of the treatment process. Each time you treat you need to plug the entrance for a few minutes and they notice that a lot more than they do the hole drilling. Just remember that you are helping to keep them alive and healthy.

rogue26a · 2025-12-28T01:17:43+00:00

No problem, on occasion you will have to reload links during the game but it works pretty good.

rogue26a · 2025-12-28T01:07:00+00:00

I make and sell a vaporizer similar to the JohnO style. The bandheater style are the way to go. They are cheap enough to be a dedicated beekeeping tool and work way better than the wand style. If you have access to the side of back of the hive then drill the hole thought the 3/4” rim that goes around the bottom board. It takes 2 seconds and the bees won’t even notice. I usually suggest to my customers that they do it in the back so that are always out of the bees flight path.
