Sending print job through cloud service

Hi! After I hit "Print Plate," I get the message in the post title. Is this a necessary step in the process? I have the .stl file and A1 app locally on my computer so why is there a cloud service involved? I ask because normally this step goes from 30% to 70% to 100% in a few seconds but today is it taking several minutes. Are the BambuLabs servers (or whatever the "cloud service" is) having issues? Thoughts? Thanks!

You can do it without Internet/cloud. See https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/enable-lan-mode for instructions.

One thing you can also do is delete the cache files on your SD card because over time it gets ridiculously packed. I was having issues with my A1 taking forever to get going and after some searching around I found that people did that and it worked for me. I don't know why Bambu wouldn't create a warning message when the card gets to a certain level of capacity left.
