Also, on the printer card, check if you have plate check enabled. It uses an image detection algo to check if there is something still on the build plate. I've found it to have too many false positives, so I just disabled it and am relying on plate clear confirmation. Check the screenshot to see the plate check toggle I am referring to.

Here's how the Virtual Printer and Proxy Mode work.
Virtual Printer
The Virtual Printer makes Bambuddy appear as a real Bambu Lab printer in your slicer (Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer). When you send a print to the virtual printer, Bambuddy can:

Archive mode — Save the file to your archive without printing
Review mode — Stage the file for review before printing
Queue mode — Add to the print queue automatically
Proxy mode — Relay the print to an actual printer (even remotely)

Setup

Go to Settings &gt; Virtual Printer in Bambuddy
Enable the virtual printer
Choose your emulated printer model (X1C, P1S, A1, H2D, etc.)
The virtual printer will appear in your slicer via SSDP discovery (same LAN) or add it manually by IP

Proxy Mode — Print From Anywhere
Proxy Mode is the game-changer. It acts as a secure relay between your slicer and your actual printer:

End-to-end TLS encryption — FTP, file transfer, and camera are transparently proxied
No cloud dependency — Direct connection through your own Bambuddy server
Uses printer's access code — No additional credentials needed
Full-speed printing — Transparent TCP proxy, minimal overhead

Recommended: Use a VPN
For remote printing, combine Proxy Mode with Tailscale or WireGuard for full data encryption. This gives you secure access to your printer from anywhere.
Use Cases

Remote print farms
Printing from work to your home printer
Traveling makers who want to start prints remotely

Printer Shows as Offline
Cause: Network connectivity or Developer Mode not enabled.
Fix:

Verify Developer Mode is enabled on the printer
Confirm the printer and Bambuddy are on the same network/VLAN
Check the IP address in Settings &gt; Printers
Restart the printer if it was recently updated

Camera Not Showing Preview
Cause: Camera stream not accessible or blocked.
Fix:

Make sure the camera is enabled in your printer's settings
Check that port 6000 (RTSP) is not blocked by a firewall
For X1C/P1S: camera works over LAN only with Developer Mode
Try refreshing the browser or clearing cache

Print Won't Start from Queue/Archive
Cause: Filament mismatch, printer busy, or file transfer issue.
Fix:

Check that the printer has the required filaments loaded
Make sure the printer isn't already printing or in error state
Check the queue status — it might be in "Queue Only" mode
Verify the 3MF file isn't corrupted (try downloading and opening in slicer)

Large File Upload Fails
Cause: Timeout or proxy configuration.
Fix:

If using a reverse proxy, increase client_max_body_size and timeouts
For direct access, check available disk space
Try a wired connection instead of WiFi

AMS Mapping Shows Wrong Colors
Cause: AMS slot configuration out of sync.
Fix:

Go to the Printers page and click on the AMS slots to refresh
Try the RFID re-read button for affected slots
Ensure spools are properly assigned in the Spool Inventory

Docker on Windows: Network Issues
Cause: Docker Desktop doesn't support host networking.
Fix:

Enter your printer's IP address manually in Bambuddy settings
Don't rely on auto-discovery (SSDP) — it won't work through Docker Desktop's NAT

Why Developer Mode?
By default, Bambu Lab printers route everything through Bambu Cloud. Developer Mode enables local MQTT/FTP access, which Bambuddy uses for:

Real-time status monitoring
Sending print jobs directly
Camera streaming
Printer control (pause, resume, stop)

How to Enable It

On your printer's touchscreen, go to Settings
Navigate to Network or General (varies by model)
Find Developer Mode or LAN Only Mode
Enable it
Note the Access Code displayed — you'll need this in Bambuddy

Also Required: Store Sent Files on External Storage
In Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer:

Go to your printer settings
Enable "Store sent files on external storage"

This ensures 3MF files are saved to the printer's SD card, which Bambuddy archives automatically.
Important Notes

Developer Mode works alongside Cloud connectivity — you don't lose cloud features
The Access Code changes if you reset it on the printer
Your printer and Bambuddy server must be on the same local network


Once enabled, add your printer in Bambuddy: Settings &gt; Printers &gt; Add Printer — enter the IP address and access code.

Here's a working Nginx configuration.
Nginx Configuration
server {

    server_name bambuddy.yourdomain.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}

Important Notes

WebSocket support is required — The Upgrade and Connection headers are essential for real-time printer status updates and camera streaming.
Increase client_max_body_size — 3MF files can be large. 500M is a safe value for print farms.
Increase timeouts — Some operations (firmware updates, large uploads) take time.

SSL Certificate with Let's Encrypt
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx -d bambuddy.yourdomain.com

Prerequisites

Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
A Bambu Lab printer with Developer Mode enabled
"Store sent files on external storage" enabled in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer
Printer and server on the same local network

Installation
Option A: Pre-built Image (Fastest)
mkdir bambuddy &amp;&amp; cd bambuddy
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

That's it! Open http://your-server-ip:5000 in your browser.
Option B: Build from Source
git clone https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
cd bambuddy
docker compose up -d --build

Multi-Architecture Support
Bambuddy runs on both AMD64 and ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5). Docker will automatically pull the correct image.
macOS / Windows (Docker Desktop)
Docker Desktop doesn't support host networking. You'll need to enter your printer's IP address manually in Bambuddy settings instead of relying on auto-discovery.
Updating
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Daily Beta Builds
Want to try the latest features? Use the daily build tag:
image: ghcr.io/maziggy/bambuddy:daily

Note: Daily builds are never tagged as latest — you need to explicitly opt in.
First Steps After Install

Open Bambuddy in your browser
Go to Settings &gt; Printers and add your printer's IP and access code
Your printer should appear on the dashboard within seconds
Start a print from your slicer — it will be automatically archived!
