# Bambuddy: local printer queues, filament tracking and alerts

A self-hosted alternative to cloud printer management with local print queues, camera monitoring, Spoolman filament tracking and Telegram notifications.

## Hardware
Bambu Lab P2S in the review; other model support not checked

Local software monitors and queues jobs on a real 3D printer.

## Shopping list

Review the latest security fixes and LAN Developer Mode trade-offs before installation. A printer listing is not a security audit of third-party software.

Quantities are for one build. Unless marked source-specified, they are planning quantities; confirm kit contents and the chosen configuration before ordering.

## Setup
Computer companion

## Coding tool
AI-assisted / vibe coded; exact coding tool not established

## How the agent helped
Adam Conway's April follow-up explicitly calls Bambuddy a vibe-coded, AI-assisted project; his March hands-on showcase explains his P2S setup and real use.

## Before you build
Review uses P2S. LAN Developer Mode sacrifices cloud features. A historical authentication flaw was reportedly patched; this is not a security audit.
