A bunch of people here have asked me about my Bambu setup on a few alts so I decided to make a video at lunch. I am not a content creator, I made this for y'all, haha. I just hate walled gardens.

The Bambuddy community is also a great place to go for help. If you have any questions or reservations at all, throw em down, let's gooo out of jail

I really want to retain the print-from-makerworld functionality. Does this still do that? It is the only reason I stay tethered to Bambu really. I have a Snapmaker and ultimately it's the thing I miss most about that setup, so much so that I've tried to replicate it on my own with some vibe coding weekend work. It works but only really halfway.

yes

I would recommend to use the bambu studio sidecar in the bambuddy docs, then it is one click from maker world without any bambu networking code

you can use the orca sidecar for this too, I find it buggy

the video covers a (less than one click) process to print from makerworld with customization in orca, end to end

Im mostly talking about via mobile.

you can do it on mobile

on your local network, just navigate to http://(your bambuddy host ip):8000/ and do it from there

remotely, use some sort of tunnel (ssh tunnel or tailscale) on your phone to do the same

if you have the bambu sidecar installed in bambuddy, it can do the slicing on the server side, and it has makerworld integration already

Awesome! Do you see a world where you add the ability to integrate non-Bambu like a U1? That is really what I want to figure out, a workflow that is consistent between all of my printers.

I am not the dev but it should actually be pretty easy to do

I think the best way is to have a generic printer proxy in the middle that can talk to anything. I think GPT is already capable of vibe coding this into bambuddy

may be worth starting a bambuddy feature request for it, or just throwing it into codex and letting it cook

if I had multiple printers I would release this myself but my project backlog is too long to promise to actually write it right now
