A simple CLI tool for BambuLab printers. Currently only tested with a pair of X1C's each with 2 AMS's.
Add shortcutsPass a partial machine namePass a partial device idTruncate the comands:cli con (bambu-cli config)cli s (bambu-cli status)cli f xxx (bambu-cli files [DEVICE ID])cli f 012 (bambu-cli files [DEVICE ID])
Upload files to the ftp server.Redact logging personal info for easier screenshots- Run a background task that auto updates the config for filament type/color
- Trigger a print job from a file on the sdcard.
- And choose a plate if file has more than one
- Let the user override the filament type/color from AMS selection
- Test offline printers (mine are usually running).
- Get tests against other printer types (A1 & P1 series).
- Build a queue that would:
Parse the fileKnow the colors neededKnow which printer has the proper filament type/color- Know which printer is free
- Send the file to the printer that is free and has the right filament type/color
You need to have Node.js installed and working on your computer. Use the LTS version.
npm -g i bambu-cli
The CLI startup will ask you to log into Bambu's main website to get a token and use that to gather machine info. That is the only time the CLI will talk to the cloud, all other interactions are local between you and the printer.
It talks to the cloud to pull the list of devices you have bound to your account. Then it will attempt to listen to the global MQTT server to get data from these devices (local IP). It then only saves that info locally so we can talk to the printers over your local network.
bambu-cli login forces a login to refresh machine info.
bambu-cli config can be used with my other tool Bambu Farm
bambu-cli config
{
"username": "",
"mqtt_user": "",
"machines": [
{
"id": "",
"name": "",
"token": "",
"ip": "",
"model": "BL-P001",
"make": "X1 Carbon"
},
{
"id": "",
"name": "",
"token": "",
"ip": "",
"model": "BL-P001",
"make": "X1 Carbon"
}
]
}
This will list the machines known by the cli tool.

Add --filter=<foo> to limit the output. You can also pass --download to download all of the files shown from
the ftp server to your local machine. Replacing --download with --parse will parse meta data from the file. Using
--delete will delete the shown files.

Same as files except it shows the timelapse videos and allows you to download them the same way. --delete will also delete the remote files.
This will parse a local .gcode.3mf file and show some details about it. Just added checking filaments against currently known printers and reporting which one a plate can be sent to.

This command is used for debugging MQTT traffic:
bambu-cli mqtt --json //Prints all messages
bambu-cli mqtt --json --keys //Prints the top level "keys"
bambu-cli mqtt --json --keys ams //Prints only the `ams` key
bambu-cli mq --path $..ams.ams[0].tray //Prints AMS 1 `tray` Array
bambu-cli mq --path $..ams.ams[0].tray[1] //Prints AMS 1 `tray` at index 1
Supports JSONPath for filtering with --path
