Model-based queue assignment: - Extract printer_model from sliced 3MF files during upload - Display sliced-for model in archive view - New queue mode: assign to "Any [Model]" instead of specific printer - Scheduler auto-assigns to first idle printer of matching model - Filament validation: only assign to printers with required filament types loaded - Waiting reason display shows why jobs are waiting (e.g., "Waiting for filament: Printer1 (needs PLA)") - "Waiting" status badge (purple) distinguishes from regular "Pending" Queue notifications (7 new events): - Job Added: When a job is added to queue - Job Assigned: When a model-based job is assigned to a printer - Job Started: When a queue job starts printing - Job Waiting: When a job is waiting for filament (enabled by default) - Job Skipped: When a job is skipped due to previous failure (enabled by default) - Job Failed: When a job fails to start (enabled by default) - Queue Complete: When all queued jobs finish Backend changes: - New columns: print_queue.target_model, print_queue.required_filament_types, print_queue.waiting_reason - New columns: notification_providers.on_queue_job_* (7 event triggers) - Notification templates for all queue events - Scheduler validates filament compatibility before model-based assignment - Queue API extracts filament types from 3MF when adding model-based items - Local backup/restore includes queue notification settings Frontend changes: - TypeScript interfaces updated for new fields - Queue page shows waiting reason and "Waiting" badge - Notification settings includes "Print Queue" section with 7 toggles Closes #162

🚀 Quick Start
Requirements
- Python 3.10+ (3.11/3.12 recommended)
- Bambu Lab printer with Developer Mode enabled (see below)
- Same local network as printer
Installation
Docker (Recommended)
Option A: Pre-built image (fastest)
mkdir bambuddy && cd bambuddy
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
Option B: Build from source
git clone https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
cd bambuddy
docker compose up -d --build
Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
Multi-architecture support: Pre-built images are available for
linux/amd64andlinux/arm64(Raspberry Pi 4/5).
macOS/Windows users: Docker Desktop doesn't support
network_mode: host. Edit docker-compose.yml: comment outnetwork_mode: hostand uncomment theports:section. Printer discovery won't work - add printers manually by IP.
Linux users: If you get "permission denied" errors, either prefix commands with
sudo(e.g.,sudo docker compose up -d) or add your user to the docker group.

Updating:
# Pre-built image: just pull the latest
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d
# From source: rebuild after pulling changes
cd bambuddy && git pull && docker compose up -d --build
Useful Commands:
# View logs
docker compose logs -f
# Stop/Start
docker compose down
docker compose up -d
# Shell access
docker compose exec bambuddy /bin/bash
Custom Port:
ports:
- "3000:8000" # Access on port 3000
Reverse Proxy (Nginx):
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name bambuddy.yourdomain.com;
ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_read_timeout 86400;
}
}
Note: WebSocket support is required for real-time printer updates.
Network Mode Host (required for printer discovery and camera streaming):
services:
bambuddy:
build: .
network_mode: host
Note: Docker's default bridge networking cannot receive SSDP multicast packets for automatic printer discovery. When using
network_mode: host, Bambuddy can discover printers via subnet scanning - enter your network range (e.g.,192.168.1.0/24) in the Add Printer dialog.
Manual Installation
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
cd bambuddy
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Run
uvicorn backend.app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
Open http://localhost:8000 and add your printer!

Enabling Developer Mode
Developer Mode allows third-party software like Bambuddy to control your printer over the local network.
- On printer: Settings → Network → LAN Only Mode → Enable
- Enable Developer Mode (appears after LAN Only Mode is enabled)
- Note the Access Code displayed
- Find IP address in network settings
- Find Serial Number in device info
Note: Developer Mode disables cloud features but provides full local control. Standard LAN Mode (without Developer Mode) only allows read-only monitoring.
