Bambu X1C and P1P 3D printers print when owners are not around

Building weapons for the robot takeover

Bambu's X1C and P1P 3D printers started printing unattended, overnight, without any additional user input, according to user reports from r/BambuLab and X.

Some users woke up to failed prints others found a second copy of a previous print. And at least a few found their Bambu X1C or P1P had started smacking itself apart -- damaging components -- while trying to print a second copy atop the object.

What happened? In an official blog post, Bambu says it's still investigating but suspects a cloud outage is to blame.

The company says its servers had two brief outages where the servers couldn't confirm that the printers had printed. Instead of failing gracefully, they wound up sending the same print job repeatedly until it went through, Bambu's staff believes.

"Simply explained, the print job sent to the printer before was trapped on the cloud and had a delayed start," writes Bambu.

Bambu says anyone who's suffered any damage should reach out to Bambu support.
