Mobile App to Use Printer in LAN Only Mode

Bambu Companion is an iOS App to control your Bambu Lab 3D Printer in LAN Only Mode. It’s been out for a number of months in beta and people all over the world have been using it as their daily driver for offline printing.

To get up and running it’s simple:

-Enable LAN Only Mode on Your Printer

-Enter the Printer IP Address, Access Code and Serial Number into Bambu Companion

This gives you full local access to your printer with all of these features:

-Live Camera Feed

-Real Time Print Monitoring

-Browse the SD Card

-AMS Support

-Start, Stop and Pause Prints

-Adjust Print Speed

-Move and Home the Printer

-Retract and Extrude the Hotend

-Set Hotend and Bed Temperatures

-Control the Chamber Light

-Upload to the SD Card

-Download from the SD Card

Multiple Printers are supported so you can add all of your Bambu Lab 3D Printers and easily swap between them.

You can also use Bambu Companion in combination with Tailscale for Secure Remote Access to your printer. All you need is a Raspberry Pi and around 30 Mins to set it up. I’ve been able to monitor prints while in the middle of the forest using my cellular data, it’s pretty cool.

I’ve recorded this video to give you a full run down of the app:https://youtu.be/LZpDQN9zgUI

If you would like to try it out, the TestFlight Public Beta is available: https://testflight.apple.com/join/VXBxZYNr

I’m an indie developer and have built this app from the ground up. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, suggestions and feedback. Happy Printing!

P.S. An Android Version is certainly on the cards when the iOS App has been released.
