0.1.6b8 New Features MQTT Publishing Publish BamBuddy events to external MQTT brokers for integration with Home Assistant, Node-RED, and other automation platforms: - New "Network" tab in Settings for MQTT configuration - Configure broker, port, credentials, TLS, and topic prefix - Real-time connection status indicator - Topics: printer status, print lifecycle, AMS changes, queue events, maintenance alerts, smart plug states, archive events Virtual Printer Queue Mode New mode that archives files and adds them directly to the print queue: - Three modes: Archive (immediate), Review (pending list), Queue (print queue) - Queue mode creates unassigned items that can be assigned to a printer later Unassigned Queue Items Print queue now supports items without an assigned printer: - "Unassigned" filter option on Queue page - Unassigned items highlighted in orange - Assign printer via edit modal Sidebar Badge Indicators Visual indicators on sidebar icons: - Queue icon: yellow badge with pending item count - Archive icon: blue badge with pending uploads count - Auto-updates every 5 seconds and on window focus Project Parts Tracking Track individual parts/objects separately from print plates: - "Target Parts" field alongside "Target Plates" - Separate progress bars for plates vs parts - Parts count auto-detected from 3MF files Bug Fixes - Chamber temp on A1/P1S - Fixed regression where chamber temperature appeared on printers without sensors in multi-printer setups - Queue prints on A1 - Fixed "MicroSD Card read/write exception error" when starting prints from queue - Spoolman sync - Fixed Bambu Lab spool detection and AMS tray data persistence - FTP downloads - Fixed downloads failing for .3mf files without .gcode extension - Project statistics - Fixed inconsistent display between project list and detail views - Chamber light state - Fixed WebSocket broadcasts not including light state changes - Backup/restore - Improved handling of nullable fields and AMS mapping data ---

🚀 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.

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.
