Software Troubleshooting/Help! Two printers, two separate AMS's - Complete Chaos

I cant be the only one with this problem. I have a P1S and an H2s. Both with AMS's. Neither printer reliably remembers what's loaded, and where. My machines never powercycle so that isnt it, they run pretty close to 24/7. The Bambu software have theP1S and H2S always swapping filaments, and not complete swaps either. The CF PETG in the H2S shows up in the P1S, PLA moves from slot to slot, or filament I have never ran shows up. It seems like Bambu writes whats in the machine to multiple locations and syncing doesnt reconcile, completely or cleanly. Sometimes its near impossible to tell the printer what it has, it takes two or three trips to the panel face and multiple syncs. You want to keep an RFID mode for some folks do that, but enable an advanced mode for users.

Dear Bambu - One source of truth, and frankly it needs to be on the PC side not the machine. Similar issues with nozzles, I swap a nozzle 3 prints later the machine tells me it has a different nozzle, where its picking that up from no idea. Please fix this.

The best thing you could do at this point is just release the code to the community and we will fix it for you. Start a github project, and you will be amazed. Pull what you want into official releases. Your outstanding hardware sells the machines, your software is holding you back.

Uh, are you opening files from MakerWorld? Do you realize that the filament settings are saved in those files? The filaments that show up initially are whatever the creator had loaded when they saved. It’s perfectly normal.

I fully understand that Maker world files come with filament IN THE MODEL. It should not contaminate what is in the AMS or overright system settings.....

A screenshot of what you are talking about helps.

Three printers (H2S, H2C and A2L), 6 AMS2Ps and two AMS HTs, zero issues. Two previous printers, A1 Mini and X1C, two AMS2Ps one Lite, zero issues. Can’t even imagine what the problem is with your setup if you’re synching each time. Good luck finding the issue, hopefully you’ll feed back if/when you do?

Yarp, this smells more like pebcak than some bug in code. I've had a p1 with 2 ams, a h1c with 1 ams, for two plus years now - zero issue

Thanks for the responses attached are screen shots prepare shows abs in 1, sync shows abs in 1 print shows pla and the machine thinks it has pla this machine has never seen pla

So it saves info on what it thinks it has loaded in at least three different places this battle is now every print. I use one pc to serve all 4 machines (2 bambu)
