On January 16, 2025, Tuozhu published an announcement indicating that the company gradually introduced an authorization and identity authentication mechanism to connect and control 3D Tuozhu printers. This decision is designed to ensure that printers can only be accessible and operated under the official authorization to improve system safety and reduce the risk of cyber attacks and remote hacking.
Takuzu gets there by updating the latest micrologists and software.Unauthorized third -party software will be prohibited to carry out these critical operations. Including liaison and unrelated liaison printers, remote video access (LiveView), the execution of firmware updates, the launch of printing tasks via the Cloud or the LAN, and the launch of any operation Linked to the motion control system via the Cloud or the LAN, such as temperature adjustment, fan switches, AMS materials parameters and AMS calibration procedures, etc.
The Beta firmware in the X1 series will be published today, and the full version will be published on January 23. The Bambu Studio software will be updated on January 21 and the Bambu Handy software was updated in December of last year. Users using the new firmware must update this software. In addition, all 3D Tuozhu printers, including the P series and a series, will integrate the control systems authorized one after the other.
Updated safety compromises compatibility with printers controlled by third-party software, and Ocraslicer will not be able to control the 3D Tuozhu printer via the Network bambu plug-in. Instead, users must use the new launchBambu ConnectSoftware, the software can open a Slice exported file via Ocraslicer and send it to the printer, starting and controlling the printing task. In simple terms, third -party software can always make slices, but authorization to control printing is transferred to Bambu Connect.
Of course, if the user chooses not to update to the last firmware, the existing state of use can always be maintained.
In addition, other software or third -party equipment service providers can actively contact Tuozhu for authorization to adjust their systems and develop compatible solutions with new micrologists and authorized control systems. However, before that, existing third -party software or hardware will fail if the user goes to the last firmware. As we understand,Right group control systemWas affected by this, BIC has already launchedTactile panda control screenIt is also likely to be affected.
At that time, we remembered the X1Plus firmware that was sensational last year. Printer X1 3D series at that time. Obviously, with the growing accent on the security of software and micrologists, such opportunities are difficult to have. At that time, Takuzu also said that he planned to provide official support for applications or third-party plug-ins in the future.
What we hope to see now is that while Takutake strictly controls “machine control” this time,Capable of continuing to maintain or increase cooperation with third parties. I hope that the applications developed by third parties can be used on the Tuozhu platformAccess the “App Store” like Apple phonesIt is also used, even if it is charged treatment costs or commissions, I think that the developers are ready to do so. Otherwise, the application they are developing can risk becoming suddenly unusable one day.
The key is that with the growing number of TUOZHU users, user needs are more and more diversified and the civil servant cannot obviously meet all needs.
We are impatiently awaiting the arrival of this day, when Takuba becomes unique and will become a more open and diverse platform.
