🌐 NEW: Remote Printing with Proxy Mode

<p align="center"> <img src="docs/images/proxy-mode-diagram.png" alt="Proxy Mode Architecture" width="800"> </p>

Print from anywhere in the world — Bambuddy's new Proxy Mode acts as a secure relay between your slicer and printer:

  • 🔒 End-to-end TLS encryption — FTP, file transfer, and camera are transparently proxied with the printer's real TLS certificate
  • 🛡️ VPN recommended — Use Tailscale/WireGuard for full data encryption (details)
  • 🌍 No cloud dependency — Direct connection through your own Bambuddy server
  • 🔑 Uses printer's access code — No additional credentials needed
  • Full-speed printing — Transparent TCP proxy, only MQTT is decrypted for IP rewriting

Perfect for remote print farms, traveling makers, or accessing your home printer from work.

Why Bambuddy?

  • Own your data — All print history stored locally, no cloud dependency
  • Works offline — Uses Developer Mode for direct printer control via local network
  • Full automation — Schedule prints, auto power-off, get notified when done
  • Multi-printer support — Manage your entire print farm from one interface

✨ Features

📦 Print Archive

  • Automatic 3MF archiving with metadata
  • 3D model preview (Three.js)
  • Duplicate detection & full-text search
  • Photo attachments & failure analysis
  • Timelapse editor (trim, speed, music) with automatic AVI-to-MP4 conversion for P1-series printers, manual upload & remove
  • Re-print to any connected printer with AMS mapping (auto-match or manual slot selection, multi-plate support, nozzle-aware matching for dual-nozzle H2D/H2D Pro)
  • Plate thumbnail browsing for multi-plate archives (hover to navigate between plates)
  • Archive comparison (side-by-side diff)
  • Tag management (rename/delete across all archives)
  • Print Log — Chronological table view of all print activity with columns for date/time, print name, printer, user, status, duration, and filament. Filterable by search, printer, user, status, and date range. Pagination with configurable page size. Clear button removes log entries without affecting archives.

📊 Monitoring & Control

  • Real-time printer status via WebSocket
  • Live camera streaming (MJPEG) & snapshots with multi-viewer support
  • Streaming overlay for OBS - Embeddable page with camera + status for live streaming (/overlay/:printerId), configurable FPS (?fps=30), status-only mode (?camera=false)
  • External camera support (MJPEG, RTSP, HTTP snapshot, USB/V4L2) with layer-based timelapse
  • Build plate empty detection - Auto-pause print if objects detected on plate (multi-reference calibration, ROI adjustment)
  • Fan status monitoring (part cooling, auxiliary, chamber)
  • Printer control (stop, pause, resume, chamber light, print speed)
  • Resizable printer cards (S/M/L/XL)
  • Skip objects during print
  • AMS slot RFID re-read
  • AMS slot configuration (model-filtered presets, K profiles, color picker, pre-population for configured slots)
  • AMS info card (hover for serial number, firmware version) with custom friendly names that persist across printers
  • AMS remote drying — Start, monitor, and stop drying sessions for AMS 2 Pro and AMS-HT directly from the Printers page with filament-based temperature/duration presets, optional spool rotation; automatic PSU detection and HMS power error reporting
  • Queue auto-drying — Automatically dry filament between scheduled prints when humidity exceeds threshold; configurable presets per filament type, optional blocking mode
  • Ambient drying — Automatically keep filament dry on idle printers based on humidity, regardless of whether prints are queued
  • Configurable drying presets per filament type (temperature & duration for AMS 2 Pro and AMS-HT)
  • Dual external spool support for H2D (Ext-L / Ext-R)
  • HMS error monitoring with history and clear errors
  • Print success rates & trends
  • Filament usage tracking
  • Cost analytics & failure analysis
  • CSV/Excel export

⏰ Scheduling & Automation

  • Background print dispatch — FTP uploads and print-start commands run in the background with real-time WebSocket progress toasts (per-job upload bars, status badges, cancel button)
  • Print queue with drag-and-drop
  • Multi-printer selection (send to multiple printers at once)
  • Model-based queue assignment (send to "any X1C" for load balancing) with location filtering
  • Filament override for model-based queue (swap filament colors/types before scheduling)
  • Filament validation (only assign to printers with required filaments)
  • Per-printer AMS mapping (individual slot configuration for print farms)
  • Scheduled prints (date/time)
  • Queue Only mode (stage without auto-start)
  • Clear plate confirmation between queued prints
  • Smart plug integration (Tasmota, Home Assistant, MQTT)
  • MQTT smart plugs: Subscribe to Zigbee2MQTT, Shelly, or any MQTT topic for energy monitoring
  • Energy consumption tracking (per-print kWh and cost)
  • HA energy sensor support (for plugs with separate power/energy sensors)
  • Auto power-on before print
  • Auto power-off after cooldown

📁 File Manager (Library)

  • Upload and organize sliced files (3MF, gcode, STL)
  • STL thumbnail generation - Auto-generate previews for STL files on upload or batch generate for existing files
  • ZIP file extraction with folder structure preservation
  • Option to create folder from ZIP filename
  • Folder structure with drag-and-drop
  • Rename files and folders via context menu
  • Print directly to any printer with full options
  • Add to queue without creating archive upfront
  • Plate selection for multi-plate 3MF files
  • Duplicate detection via file hash
  • Mobile-friendly with always-visible action buttons

📁 Projects

  • Group related prints (e.g., "Voron Build")
  • Track plates (print jobs) and parts separately
  • Auto-detect parts count from 3MF files
  • Color-coded project badges
  • Bulk assign archives via multi-select toolbar
  • Import/Export projects as ZIP (includes files) or JSON

🔔 Notifications

  • WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord
  • Email, Pushover, ntfy
  • Home Assistant persistent notifications
  • Custom webhooks
  • Quiet hours & daily digest
  • Customizable message templates with per-filament usage details
  • Print finish photo URL in notifications
  • Filament usage and progress in failed/cancelled print notifications
  • HMS error alerts (AMS, nozzle, etc.)
  • Build plate detection alerts
  • First layer complete alert (with camera snapshot)
  • Bed cooled alerts (configurable threshold)
  • Queue events (waiting, skipped, failed)

🧵 Spool Inventory

  • Built-in spool inventory with AMS slot assignment, usage tracking, and remaining weight management
  • Automatic filament consumption tracking: 3MF slicer estimates for all spools (primary), AMS remain% delta as fallback
  • Per-layer gcode accuracy for partial prints (failed/cancelled), with linear scaling fallback
  • Per-spool cost tracking — Set cost/kg on each spool; costs are automatically calculated at print completion and aggregated to archives. Print modal shows real-time cost preview. Configurable default cost and currency in Settings.
  • Bulk spool addition — Add multiple identical spools at once (quantity 1–100) with a single form submission. Quick Add mode for stock spools that only need material, color, and weight.
  • Spool catalog, color catalog, PA profile matching, and low-stock alerts

🔧 Integrations

  • Spoolman filament sync with per-filament usage tracking and fill level display
  • MQTT publishing for Home Assistant, Node-RED, etc.
  • Prometheus metrics - Export printer telemetry for Grafana dashboards
  • Bambu Cloud profile management
  • Local Profiles - Import OrcaSlicer presets (.orca_filament, .bbscfg, .bbsflmt, .zip, .json) without Bambu
