Use the integrated tailscale. https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/virtual-printer/?h=tailscale#setup-install-tailscale-on-the-bambuddy-host

Need more infos. Please open an issue and attach a support package.

For what purpose? Don't see any reason for it.

@MartinNYHC Done!

Please open an issue on Github and attach a support-package. https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/system-info/?h=debug#enable-debug-logging

@MartinNYHC Thank you for your help and support. Installation was successful. Have a nice day

Just open a feature request.

Still doesnt work. But I got it working via "manual" mode. Here it just worked. Pulled the image and fired up the container. 🤪 Still thanks for your help and this great programm!

[image: 1778314935726-068b9d09-c1ca-4957-94c0-949d90086c94-image.jpeg] My ESP boards arrived for Bambutton. Impatient me just grabbed nearest button and wires to get it working. Quick and easy. That’s a working button when plugged into a USB port or USB power supply. Of course I will upgrade to nice LED buttons and a nice case. Tips for n00bs like me, hold boot for 2 seconds before pushing the settings across. :-). Thankyou so much Ed - this will be a huge advantage in the print garden!

My understanding is that if you have print plate confirmation checked, the print will not start till you set the plate as cleared on the printer page. 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.

Use Bambu Studio ^^

And i'm up and running!

Yeah, I saw on the page for Spoolbuddy that 2Gb is the minimum. I found another mini-PC in my collection that can manage the installation. So, it's all good. Maybe nice to put it on the Bambuddy pages as well. Wonderful product by the way! It works like a charm. Thanks for sharing this!

Bug: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/1119

Is it just me, but I dont have integrations when going to "Settings > Integrations >"?

Nope, branch dev or next daily build.

@MartinNYHC no problem. I'll leave my CC1 with my most common prints pre-loaded and just print straight from its screen - i have a bunch of 24 hour prints it can do over and over for the rest of its life

Bambuddy can emulate a Bambu Lab printer on your network and even relay prints remotely. 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 > 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 Detailed setup guide: https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/virtual-printer/

A collection of frequently reported issues and their solutions. 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 > 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 Still stuck?
