BamBuddy – a self-hosted print archive for Bambu Lab 3D printers
Bambu makes great hardware, but your data lives in their cloud and there's no way to export it. When a print finishes, the job is basically gone from any useful record-keeping perspective. BamBuddy fixes that by running on your own machine and tapping into the printer's local MQTT interface — so it captures everything as it happens: thumbnails, filament usage, timing, slicer settings. You end up with a fully searchable archive of your print history that's entirely yours, works offline, and never touches Bambu's servers. The catch: their local API is undocumented, so a lot of the early work…

What it does
Bambuddy - Self-hosted command center for Bambu Lab 3D printers. No cloud, no lock-in. From one A1 to an entire print farm.
Bambuddy is a self-hosted control plane for Bambu Lab printers — one A1 or an entire print farm. Monitoring, queueing, archiving and slicing, all on a box you own. A print farm is not a collection of printers, it is a loop. Bambuddy closes it without a spreadsheet in the middle. Every job is archived automatically — the 3MF, a 3D preview, the material, layer height, weight, duration and cost. Search it, filter by printer or material, tag it. Reprint straight from the card, or open it in the slicer without leaving the page. Target a specific printer or any machine of a model — jobs grouped per printer, dragged to reorder, with total queue time and total filament weight up…from bambuddy.cool

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
