Use the integrated tailscale.

Virtual Printer - Bambuddy Documentation

Bambuddy poses as a Bambu Lab printer on your network so Bambu Studio / OrcaSlicer can send prints to it. Modes — Immediate, Review, Print Queue (with optional auto-dispatch and force-color-match), and Proxy.

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

For everyone sponsoring Bambuddy on GitHub Sponsors — or thinking about it — the new sponsors portal is live:

https://sponsors.bambuddy.cool

What it does:

Sign in with the GitHub account you sponsor with — your tier shows up automatically
Monthly sponsors newsletter (the same one that used to land as a pinned Issue in the private sponsors repo)
Quarterly roadmap vote for Patron tier and above
Email notifications when a new newsletter publishes or a vote opens

What changes for existing sponsors:

The Discord "Backer / Supporter / Patron / ..." roles are gone. Discord stays exactly as it is for community use, just without the sponsor-tier channels.
The private bambuddy-sponsors repo will be archived once the migration settles — newsletter + voting now live on the portal.
BACKERS.md on the main repo still lists everyone (Backer and above).

Backer tier is intentionally off-portal — the perk stays the BACKERS.md listing, no portal sign-in needed.

What didn't change:

All the actual tier perks. Supporter still gets newsletter, Patron still gets voting, Sustaining still gets the README listing and direct email line, Corporate still gets priority response and logo placement. Just delivered through a more reliable channel.
Discord remains the general community hangout.

If you sponsor and your name isn't showing on the portal within an hour, email martin@bambuddy.cool or open an Issue on the main repo.

Hey everyone,

The Bambuddy Sponsors program is now fully live with five recurring tiers. If you've been waiting for a way to back the project that's more than a one-off tip, here it is.

The tiers — what you get:

Backer — $5/mo

Your name in BACKERS.md. The warm feeling of keeping a local-first project alive.

Supporter — $15/mo

Everything in Backer, plus:

Access to a private sponsors space
Monthly sponsor newsletter
Early release notes before public announcement

️ Patron — $35/mo

Everything in Supporter, plus:

A vote on the quarterly roadmap
First Patron vote opens June 2026 on Q3 features

Sustaining Sponsor — $150/mo

Everything in Patron, plus:

Direct async email line to me for technical questions - ~2-3 business day response

Corporate — $500/mo

Everything in Sustaining Sponsor, plus:

Priority email response (next business day)
Your logo in the README header
Your logo in the sitewide footer on bambuddy.cool
Placement on the Press page

Sign up: https://github.com/sponsors/maziggy
One-time tip instead: https://ko-fi.com/maziggy

Why this exists

Bambuddy is principled local-first software. No cloud, no telemetry, no upsells, no enterprise SKU hiding behind the OSS edition. Igor's Lab framed it as "a principled alternative to Bambu Cloud" and I want to keep that promise. Sponsors are how that stays true — every dollar goes into shipping the next release, not into building a paywall around the current one.

If you're running Bambuddy in production (especially with multiple printers, an LDAP setup, or in a workshop / makerspace) and it's saving you time, the Sustaining Sponsor or Corporate tier is what underwrites the support response time and roadmap influence you'd otherwise have to negotiate as a contract.

What I won't do

No hosted SaaS tier. The project stays self-hostable forever.
No feature gated behind a sponsor tier. Everything that's in OSS Bambuddy today stays in OSS Bambuddy.
No vendor lock-in. AGPL-3.0, your data on your hardware.

Questions, feedback, or "I'd sponsor if X were a perk"? Reply in this thread.

Thanks to everyone who's already on board.
