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

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. — Martin

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!

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.

@MartinNYHC - Yeah, I definitely will be doing that sometime this week.

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

[image: de187b99-e379-4e98-912f-b0208d754421-image.jpeg] A modest printing business here in my spare time, doing around 10-20 items a day, and steadily rising as I design new products, and my customers keep coming back for more. Definitely need to integrate some smart plugs, I have them all here, and also make better use of scheduling when I'm not under production pressure, as the workshop is next to the master bedroom, so scheduling will be good to get prints start at around midnight, leaving 9pm to midnight as quiet hours, so we can go to bed without the noise while we are winding down (doesn't bother me after i fall asleep).
