BambuStudio uses TLS on port 3002 for certain printer models (e.g. A1
Mini / N1). The bind server only spoke plain TCP on both ports, so the
TLS ClientHello was rejected as "invalid frame" and the slicer could
never discover or connect to the virtual printer.
Port 3002 now uses TLS (reusing the VP's existing certificate), port
3000 remains plain TCP. Also updated proxy-mode to use TLSProxy for
the port 3002 bind proxy instead of raw TCPProxy.
Multiple Virtual Printers:
- Each VP gets a dedicated bind IP with independent FTP, MQTT, SSDP, and Bind services
- New VirtualPrinter DB model, CRUD API (/api/virtual-printers), React UI
- VirtualPrinterList, VirtualPrinterCard, VirtualPrinterAddDialog components
- Per-instance TLS certificates (shared CA), 11 printer models, all 4 modes
- Auto-incremented serial suffixes, network interface override per VP
Dual Bind/Detect Ports (#445):
- Listen on both ports 3000 and 3002 for slicer bind/detect handshake
- Different BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer versions use different ports
- Applies to BindServer (server mode) and SlicerProxyManager (proxy mode)
- Updated Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, firewall rules in wiki
Also:
- Rewrote VP test suite for new multi-instance architecture (75 tests)
- Rewritten "How it works" section with 3-step workflow explanation
- Updated all 5 locales (en, de, ja, fr, it)
- Updated wiki and website for multi-VP + dual ports
- New multi-VP screenshot
Recent BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer updates require a bind/detect handshake on
port 3000 before connecting via MQTT/FTP. Without this, slicers cannot
discover or connect to the virtual printer in any mode.
- Add BindServer for server modes (immediate/review/print_queue)
- Add TCPProxy for raw TCP forwarding (proxy mode)
- Update Dockerfile (EXPOSE 3000) and docker-compose.yml (bridge port)
- Add 10 new tests for BindServer protocol and integration
