Connecting Bambu Lab printers to SimplyPrint
Note: The Bambu Lab integration is currently in an invite-only beta, which means that it is not publicly available yet.
Bambu Lab printers can be connected to SimplyPrint via our custom integration. This might be different from other printers you have connected to SimplyPrint, so please read this guide carefully.
Before you start this guide you should have the following:
A device (such as a computer or a Raspberry Pi) that you can use to run the SimplyPrint Bambu Lab integration.
- This device should be turned on at all times, and connected to the same network as the printer.
- We recommend using a Raspberry Pi, or an old computer that you can leave running.
One or more Bambu Lab printers.
- You can connect multiple printers to the same SimplyPrint Bambu Lab integration, but you will need to repeat the steps in this guide for each printer.
Depending on the operating system of your device, the installation process will be slightly different. You can find the installation instructions for your operating system here.
After you have followed the instructions, the integration should now be installed and ready to go.
The SimplyPrint Bambu Lab integration software has a web interface that you can use to add and manage linked printers. To open the web interface, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8000 (or http://<your-device-ip>:8000 if you are not running the SimplyPrint Client on the same device as your web browser).
The web panel should look like this:
On MacOS and Windows the web interface can also be opened by clicking the SimplyPrint icon in the system tray.
To add a printer press the "Add printer" button in the top right corner of the page. This will ask you to fill out some information such that we know how to communicate with your printer. This information is:
The model of your printer.
The printer's IP address
The printer's access code
The printer's serial number
To get these details, please refer to these sections depending on which printer you have:
If you have a Bambu Lab X1, X1C or X1E, please refer to this section.
