Bambuddy Lets Users Run Up to 40 Bambu Printers Without Cloud Services

Summary
Bambuddy replaces Bambu Lab’s cloud workflow with a self-hosted control system that lets users slice, print and monitor jobs entirely on local networks.
To use it, owners switch printers to LAN-only mode and enable Developer Mode, which opens the machine API for external control but disables Bambu’s native cloud remote access.
The software runs on Linux, macOS and Windows — often on a Raspberry Pi — and adds features including an integrated slicer, proxy-based remote access and a live sandbox demo.
The project targets users frustrated that every print job passes through Bambu servers, and it also cites concerns over limited local control, alleged AGPLv3 violations and Bambu’s legal tactics.
