Community Add-ons¶

Third-party projects that extend Bambuddy — built by the community, for the community. These are independent projects maintained outside the main Bambuddy repository, talking to Bambuddy through its public API.

Want to build one?

Bambuddy exposes a documented REST API and supports API keys for headless integrations. If you build something cool, open a PR on the wiki repo to add it here.

Independent projects

Community add-ons are maintained by their respective authors, not by the Bambuddy team. Issues and feature requests for an add-on belong on its own repository.

Hardware¶

Bambutton ¶

ESP32-C3 wireless button that lets you mark the build plate clear at the printer with a single press, so the next queued job can be dispatched automatically. Includes an LED ring that signals when a plate needs clearing.

ESPHome Bambu Spool Reader ¶

ESPHome firmware for a Waveshare ESP32-S3 with PN532 NFC reader and 2.8" touchscreen. Reads Bambu Lab spool tags and syncs them with Bambuddy — looks up known spools by tag UID, displays remaining weight, and can register new spools straight from the device.

ESP Virtual Printer ¶

ESP-IDF firmware for an ESP32-S3 with PSRAM that presents an archive-only Bambu virtual printer on the LAN. Slicers discover it like a real printer and upload .3mf files over implicit FTPS; the ESP streams the bytes straight into Bambuddy as a chunked HTTP upload — no SD card, no local storage. Works with the bundled buddy_recv.py sidecar today.

Home Automation¶

Hubitat Driver ¶

Hubitat Elevation driver that talks to Bambuddy over REST (and optionally MQTT). Lets you wire Bambu Lab printer state and commands — clear plate, light on/off, pause/resume/stop — into your home-automation rules and physical buttons.

Filament & Inventory¶

FilaMan Bambuddy Plugin ¶

FilaMan driver plugin that connects FilaMan to Bambuddy. Receives real-time AMS slot data via WebSocket, supports manual and automatic spool assignment, and optionally syncs FilaMan's spool inventory into Bambuddy.

Author: FilaMan / Fire-Devils · Repository

CSV Spool Import ¶

Python script that bulk-imports filament spools into Bambuddy from a CSV file. Maps your existing spool IDs to Bambuddy catalog IDs and pushes them through the public REST API — useful for migrating from other inventory tools.

Author: bsaunder · Repository

Spoolman Cost Sync ¶

Python sidecar that copies per-spool prices from Spoolman into Bambuddy's local cost_per_kg field, so per-print cost calculations reflect what each spool actually cost. Read-only against Spoolman, writes only cost_per_kg on Bambuddy — matches RFID-linked spools by tray_uuid / tag_uid and runs on a configurable interval (default 10 min). Stdlib-only; ships as a Docker sidecar.

Bots & Notifications¶

:material-discord: Discord Print Queue Bot ¶

Discord bot that turns a Forum channel into a print queue. Members submit .gcode.3mf files via !print in a thread; superusers queue immediately, others go through an approval reaction from a designated approver. Pings the submitter when their print starts and finishes.

Deployment & Automation¶

Ansible Collection ¶

Ansible collection for installing and configuring Bambuddy at scale. Includes modules for initial setup, login/token fetch, settings, printer management, and the virtual-printer feature — all callable via delegate_to: localhost.

AI & Integrations¶

Bambuddy MCP Server ¶

Model Context Protocol server that exposes Bambuddy's full REST API as tools for AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Talk to your printers in plain language — check status, queue prints, control lights, view camera snapshots.

Contributing an add-on¶

If you've built something that integrates with Bambuddy — hardware, browser extensions, mobile shortcuts, scripts, dashboards, anything — we'd love to list it here.

To submit:

Make sure the project has a clear README and a license.
Open a PR against the wiki repository adding a page under docs/community/ and a card on this hub page.
Keep it interoperability-focused — add-ons should use Bambuddy's public API, not internal endpoints.

Questions? Drop into the Discord or forum.
