If it's not there you can skip it. Obviously some version combinations don't have it.

Solved: Virtual Printer port 8883 conflicts with the Mosquitto add-on (Bambuddy in a container on the same machine like HomeAssistant)

Vilda007 — Thu, 23 Jul 2026 21:55:28 GMT

If you run BamBuddy in a container on the same machine as Home Assistant add-on and the Mosquitto broker add-on on the same HAOS box, and Bambu Studio can't connect to your Virtual Printer (connection error, TLS handshake fails) while the BamBuddy log shows MQTT port 8883 is already in use — this is a port collision on the host, not a BamBuddy bug. Why Bambu Studio hardcodes MQTT/TLS on port 8883 for LAN printers, so BamBuddy's Virtual Printer MQTT server needs host port 8883 (and the HA add-on runs with network_mode: host). The Mosquitto add-on also maps host 8883→8883 by default (its TLS listener). Mosquitto wins the bind, so Bambu Studio connects to Mosquitto's cert instead of the Virtual Printer CA cert → TLS verification fails. Fix (HA UI only — the SSH add-on's SUPERVISOR_TOKEN is read-only on the supervisor API, so this can't be scripted) Settings → Add-ons → Mosquitto → Network. Remap the TLS listener host port 8883 → 8885 (leave 1883/1884/8884 as-is). Restart the Mosquitto add-on, then the BamBuddy add-on. Verify BamBuddy log: Simple MQTT server listening on port 8883. openssl s_client -connect :8883 returns a cert with CN= issued by Virtual Printer CA, Verify return code: 0 (ok). Gotcha a Mosquitto add-on update can reset its network config to defaults and reclaim 8883, breaking the Virtual Printer again. If it recurs, just re-apply the 8883→8885 remap.

Plans to support non-bambu printers?

SL666 — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 00:36:01 GMT

My only thought on the non-bambu would be to support octoprint - that way it would support that whole stack, but thats probably because i have octoprint on my other printer.

Help Needed

Thanks I will attempt to do so

What is the best way to remote connect?

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

Weird Network Issues?

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

My new Bambutton

sixfootseven — Sat, 09 May 2026 08:25:05 GMT

[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!

Add while printing?

Won't install

Makerworld integration available

Nope, branch dev or next daily build.
