## What it is
Bambuddy is a self-hosted web application that acts as a command center for Bambu Lab 3D printers, from a single printer to an entire print farm. It provides real-time fleet monitoring, automatic print archiving, job queueing, server-side slicing via a headless OrcaSlicer/Bambu Studio sidecar, filament inventory tracking, and cloud-free remote printing through a virtual printer proxy.

## Use cases
- manage a Bambu Lab print farm without the vendor cloud
- monitor multiple 3D printers in real time from a self-hosted dashboard
- queue print jobs across a fleet of printers
- archive every print with 3MF files, previews, and cost tracking
- slice STL and 3MF files server-side without a desktop slicer
- track filament spool inventory and remaining weight
- print remotely without Bambu Cloud, port forwarding, or a VPN
- analyze print costs, energy usage, and failure rates

## When to choose
- you own one or more Bambu Lab printers and want to avoid Bambu Cloud entirely
- you run a print farm and need queueing, archiving, and cost analytics in one place
- you want everything local on your own hardware (Docker, Pi, NAS, mini-PC, or Windows)
- you need remote printing without port forwarding, optionally via Tailscale
- you want integrated slicing and filament/AMS management

## When to avoid
- you use non-Bambu printers exclusively, since it targets Bambu Lab hardware
- you want a fully managed cloud service rather than self-hosting
- you need a slicer itself rather than a management layer (it wraps OrcaSlicer/Bambu Studio)
- you are unwilling to run a server, Docker, or a Windows service
