Bandwidth requirements

Hi,

What it the minimum amount of bandwidth for uploading a print? Yesterday our bandwidth dropped to 60% or 42ms and the printer didn’t finish the upload until some time during the night. This isn’t
a problem but more of a thing to know.

Hi @3DPrinterPDG thanks for letting us know. Bandwidth varies with your network speed and the complexity of your print. Did your connection change? If you’re noticing a slow upload temporarily, we’d recommend connecting to your printer directly with a USB cable.

It’s worth checking that your printer is connected only via Ethernet—if both Ethernet and Wi-Fi are active, it can actually slow things down. Similarly, if your computer is on Wi-Fi while the printer is hardwired, that mismatch can sometimes introduce delays. Also look out if there are other processor-intensive things that could also contribute to slower uploads.

If you’re seeing this problem persist submit a support ticket here and we’d be happy to take a closer look.
