- Updated the WiFi driver to improve network stability under weak signals.
¶ Bug Fix
- Fixed intermittent faulty fan control that may cause the chamber cooling fan to activate when the printer is idling.
- Improved the heatbed failsafe logic.
- Fixed an issue causing intermittently incorrect reports of new firmware availability after an upgrade, even if the firmware is already up to date.
- Fixed intermittent faulty chamber cooling fan control after power loss recovery.
- Addressed the rare occurrence of screen lag or poor print quality associated with using custom filament profiles.
¶ Version OTA 01.01.00.00 (20240408)
¶ New Features
¶ 1. Motor Noise Cancellation
The widely acclaimed Motor Noise Cancellation feature from the A1 mini is now available for X1E printers. This innovative feature reduces motor noise during long-line movements and mitigates the humming sound associated with high-speed printing. Additionally, it slightly improves Vertical Fine Artifacts (VFA), resulting in smoother printed walls. (The VFA is correlated to a lot of factors, including filament condition, print speed, and extrusion calibration. The improvement provided by Motor Noise Cancellation can vary under different circumstances.)
Please remember to run the calibration after updating the firmware to properly activate this feature. You can find the calibration option under the Control-Utilities menu. The process will take approximately 10 minutes.
¶ 2. Simplified Binding Prerequisite
In previous firmware versions, when binding the Bambu Handy app to the printer by scanning the QR code, both devices have to be on the same LAN network. Starting with this firmware version, users can perform the binding operation without the need to have both devices on the same LAN.
For this function to work, the region selected on the printer screen must be consistent with the account region selected under the account used in Bambu Handy.
The region selection has been added on the first boot page after the update has been completed.
You can check the account user region under the Settings -> Account page. If you ever need to change the region, you can do so after logging out of the printer and performing the binding operation again.
¶ 3. Enhanced third-party filament support (in conjunction with Bambu Studio V 1.8.1 and up)
With Bambu Studio v1.8.1, users now have the ability to create, modify, and delete custom filament profiles, which are saved in your Bambu account. We've created a guide detailing how to establish a custom filament preset and utilize this new feature. （https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/preset）
Your X1E printer can now sync these custom filament presets with your account. You'll find these presets available in the filament selection slots when manually choosing your filament settings.
Please be aware that if you log out from the printer and the device is disconnected from the cloud, the custom filament information on the printer won't be immediately removed. It will only be cleared when another account is bound to the printer. The custom filament data associated with the new account will then be synchronized, assuming you follow the steps outlined in the guide linked above.
¶ 4. Automatic Chamber Cooling
When printing PLA filament, excessive chamber temperature may lead to nozzle clogging and other printing issues. The newly added Automatic Chamber Cooling feature adjusts the chamber temperature regulator fan speed based on chamber temperature during printing, reducing the risk of nozzle clogs by providing appropriate cooling.
¶ 5. Authentication when connected by Ethernet
X1E enabled authentication when connected by Ethernet.
¶ Improvements
1. Updated the icons for temperature & humidity readings.
2. Optimized the color display for translucent filaments.
3. Optimized the filament auto-mapping logic when printing with AMS. The color slot that cannot be mapped would need to be manually assigned filament before printing.
4. Added support for 802.11w protocol.
5. Added WPA3 encryption.
¶ Bug Fix
1. Fixed the Lidar intermittent build plate type identification failure.
2. Fixed intermittent connection failure when switching from encrypted to non-encrypted connection.
¶ Version OTA 01.00.02.00（20240118）
¶ Improvements
- Refine the log system and remove all debug logs that are not necessary for end-users.
- Enable users to determine whether to export G-code and camera-recorded files when exporting logs from the SD card.
¶ Version OTA 01.00.01.11 (20231224)
¶ Improvements
- Optimized internal-storage related performance.
- Optimized the printing performance for more reliable operation.
¶ Remaining issues
- Intermittent screen response lag during the loading of prints started from the cloud.
¶ Version OTA 01.00.01.07 (20231211)
This is a minor firmware update bringing a few improvements and optimizations to the Power On fan logic, and the model display in the firmware, while also implementing a few bug fixes.
¶ Improvements
- Optimized the fan Power On logic
- Optimized the main menu of the device to add the X1E model picture.
¶ Bugs fixed
- Fixed the problem where setting the IP would fail if there is no DHCP network.
- Fixed the problem with the Wi-Fi connection. In previous firmware, if the Wi-Fi SSID signal connection was weak, there was a probability that the device would be reconnected to another router / Wi-Fi access point. This firmware update brings optimizations to solve this issue.
¶ Remaining issues
- When you click on the screen while sending a model for printing and parsing, there is a chance that the page will get stuck.
¶ Version OTA 01.00.01.00 (20231031)
¶ Improvements
- Added PPS and PPS-CF parameters for drying materials
- Optimized the temperature and flow of incoming and outgoing materials
- Added tips for removing pads in the beginner's guide
¶ Bug fix
- Fixed the problem where stack detection occasionally fails due to the backplate being black on the X1E
- Fixed a problem with occasional calibration failure
- Fixed a problem where there was a certain probability of drying failure.
- Repaired the issue that occurred when the low-temperature material was fed after high-temperature printing. The cavity temperature would drop to the pop-up prompt temperature, and there would still be a limit on the feed and return of the material.
- Fixed the pop-up text to "continue printing" and matched the button
¶ Remaining issues
- When sending a file to print and parse, click the screen, and there is a chance that the page will lag.
