I can’t believe I just ordered another U1. I can’t send a print. You guys really need to figure this out. We got several orders for stuff I need to print overnight Are these toys for kids or are they tools for professionals? Last time I pulled the trigger on my DeWalt electric drill it didn’t say “Please try again later.” How do I get this machine to PRINT?!

Try LAN mode. That goes direct to the printer instead of via the cloud. Or save the G-Code to file instead of just clicking “print” in SnOrca, then you can export the print file to the U1 manually, via Fluiid or using a USB stick.

IMO, it’s only worth using cloud mode if you MUST have cloud access to your printer. I use LAN mode, and always save my G-Code files then upload them in Fluiid, and I have _never_ had a problem. Just clicking “print” from the slicer doesn’t strike me as something serious users would do.

At this price, they are obviously not industrial printers. But they’re not for kids either, they are for enthusiasts and makers. Industrial and professional users pay much higher prices to get industrial/professional levels of reliability and aftercare, for when a contract (or the whole business) is on the line.

To expand on this: alongside the “print” button there is a drop-down which offers “save g-code”. Selecting that switches the function of the button, you then click the button to actually do the save.

Type your U1’s LAN address into a browser, and you get the Fluiid control panel. Find the “Jobs” panel. Click the “+” button, and select “upload”. You get a file selection panel, where you can browse for the G-Code file you previously saved from the slicer. Upload that.

With the print file uploaded to the printer, you can run it on the printer’s control panel, or use the Fluiid interface to start the print. With the print running, you’ll see loads of monitoring of the process that is unavailable on the printer’s control panel.

Suggesting work-arounds is just admitting there is a problem.

You make a fair point, which is precisely why the software team is actively collecting connectivity feedback through the form.  
Most users come to the forum with all kinds of issues to seek advice. The workarounds are well-intentioned emergency patches. For a permanent fix, I’d strongly encourage you to open a ticket with technical support. They have the logs and tools to diagnose your specific setup and offer a definitive solution.

I don’t regard LAN mode as a work-around, I regard it as the serious option. Who wants the cloud getting in the way? Bambu is thataway \>\>\>
