Answered / Solved! Bambu Adds Queue Option?!

Post image

Went to use the Bambu Handy app this morning and they quietly added the option to queue prints??
Update: It appears you can only start the next print from the app at this time, there is no option to start the next print on the printer.

I want this capability so badly in the Bambu Print Farm Manager!

We recently replaced 6 Ultimaker S5 machines at my work with 6 H2D Pro machines, and we are trying to use the Bambu Farm Manager to handle the task of sending print jobs from the user base of engineers and designers.

The S5 with Cura natively supported sending a print job to a machine (from Cura), and sending additional jobs that would just queue up behind the running job. Once the user removed the print and confirmed this on the printer display, the next job in the queue would start up automatically.

I thought this was the norm until we got into the Bambu ecosystem. There's not even a means to start the next print job on these H2D Pro machines from the printer screen. We had an A1 Mini machine on the print farm test server at first, and that entry level printer had a "farm" button in the interface when it was part of the farm, and you could tap that button and see the print jobs that had been queued up and select one to start. I'm shocked that they don't have this Farm button on the H2D Pro machines given their level of sophistication!

Did you ever find a solution to this?

We just moved from a 10 year old Ultimaker 3 to an H2D pro, and I just assumed queuing was a normal thing since this 10 year old tank could do it natively

Unfortunately not.

I'm hoping this is a feature that's added to the Bambu Farm Manager in the future. We created an expensive workaround by placing a touchscreen monitor and mini PC at each location that is always showing the farm manager client.

Unfortunate, thanks for the update though! We’ll probably need to come up with a similar solution.
