Ich hab jetzt seit etwa 1 Monat meinen #Anycubic #KobraX und muss sagen er macht mir sehr viel Spaß. Was mich aber aktuell stört, die #Cloud ist gerne mal nicht erreichbar weshalb man dann natürlich nicht bequem per Smartphone seine Druckaufträge starten kann.

Und es gibt noch kein Profil für den Drucker im #OrcaSlicer obwohl der Anycubic Slicer wohl auch nur eine geänderte Version ist...

#Anycubic fixed the #KobraX firmware with version 1.2.0.2. You now no longer need an active internet connection just for NTP to get it working in LAN mode. I have just firewalled mine completely and it still works with the Anycubic slicer. Yay 🎉
Great takeaway from reverse engineering the #KobraX network connection: I now have a reliable setup to test my DNAT configurations.

Seeing some connections to NTP servers that are way closer, so the implementation probably isn't as bad as I initially thought.

Regardless, I have now fixed the DNAT configuration, so NTP requests are handled within my network. The #Anycubic #KobraX doesn't have #Internet connection but still works just fine.

All left to do now is to bug Anycubic about DHCP option 42. 😁

Allright, so let's see which nasty things the #Anycubic #KobraX is doing, network-wise. This is going to be a thread.

Okay, so it seems that the #Anycubic #KobraX doesn't like to be without Internet connection. Although it's in LAN mode, I still can't access it.

Current working theory is that it simply has no #NTP. Let's hope that this is all, can't have a printer that doesn't work without Internet.

Given all the other #software #setbacks when setting up the #KobraX, adding it in #LAN mode to the Anycubic #slicer was pleasantly painless.

Latest #firmware for the #KobraX is 1.2.0.0 according to https://wiki.anycubic.com/en/fdm-3d-printer/anycubic-kobra-x/firmware-update-guide

Latest firmware I get offered in the app is 1.1.5.7.

Gets better and better any minute...

It doesn't start well with my new #3dprinter

The #Anycubic #KobraX allows a maximum length of 32 for WIFI PSKs.

So I have to deploy an extra SSID, just for that stupid thing. 😩

Überlege ob ich mir den #Anycubic #KobraX kaufe 🧐

Irgendwelche Meinungen dazu?
