¶ Operation Guide for Bambu Connect
Start by logging in to the Bambu Lab account or click Discover to find LAN mode printers.
After you login, the previously bound printers will be shown.
You can also scan and discover printers in your LAN network, which can be then connected.
To start a print, import the gcode or 3MF file by either dragging and dropping the file in Bambu Connect, or by clicking the green button
You will be presented with the plates available to print. You can select one, then click Print.
In this step, select the printer you wish to use, the build plate type, filament and the print options. When ready, click on Send to transfer the file to the printer and initiate the printing process.
After the print starts, you will be presented with multiple options for interacting with the printer, while also being able to access printer details.
¶ Launching Bambu Connect from Third-Party Software
Third-party programs can prompt Bambu Connect to import a specified G-code or 3MF file by utilizing the following URL scheme: bambu-connect://import-file
¶ Required Parameters
To ensure proper functionality, the following parameters must be included in the URL scheme:
path: The absolute file system path pointing to the 3MF file (e.g., /tmp/cube.gcode.3mf). This value must be encoded using encodeURIComponent.
name: The name of the file (e.g., Cube). This value must also be encoded using encodeURIComponent.
version: A fixed value of 1.0.0, which is used to indicate compatibility for future updates.
¶ Example URL Scheme
Here’s a valid example of the URL scheme with properly encoded parameters:
bambu-connect://import-file?path=%2Ftmp%2Fcube.gcode.3mf&name=Cube&version=1.0.0
By using this scheme, third-party software can efficiently open Bambu Connect and import the desired file for printing.
