Printer Farm · for Bambu Lab owners · open beta · free 14-day trial · no card

Your Bambu Lab printers, run as a farm

X1, P1, A1 and H2D on one dashboard in LAN mode — live status, the camera, a queue that sends each 3MF to the first free printer with the right filament and waits for you to clear the bed — with orders coming in from your shop and delivery notes going out.

The demo is a real farm — eight printers printing day and night, every page open, read-only. Your own farm is live in about a minute with an Ask The Nozzle account.

What you get

Printer Farm with X1, P1, A1 and H2D

Found on your network

With the agent running, Scan for printers lists every Bambu printer in LAN mode with its serial and model; add the 8-digit access code and it is on the dashboard.

Cameras and live status

The LAN camera on X1, P1 and A1, the H2D's local stream, nozzle, bed and chamber temperatures, progress and time left — one ruled row per printer, refreshing in place.

3MF to the first free printer

Queue a sliced 3MF to the pool and the first free Bambu with the right filament takes it; the bed-clear gate asks you before the next one starts. H2D dual-nozzle external-spool prints included.

Orders in, delivery notes out

WooCommerce, Shopify, your own site or an Etsy CSV. Stock first, a works order for what's short, delivery notes with courier and tracking at the end.

How it connects

Three steps, and your Bambu Lab printers are on the dashboard

One small agent bridges your workshop to the cloud. Your files stay with you; the cloud is the dashboard.

Install the farm agent

A small program on a Windows or Linux computer that stays on, on the same network as the printers. One outbound connection, no router changes.

Put the printer in LAN mode

On the printer: Settings → Network → LAN Only Mode, and note the access code. On an H2D also turn on Developer Mode. The farm talks to the printer directly on your network.

Scan, or add by address

Scan for printers finds Bambu printers on the LAN and fills in the serial and address; type the access code and save. Or enter the IP, serial and code by hand.

Good to know

Honest notes for Bambu Lab owners

Bambu printers are a closed pairing: a 3MF sliced for a Bambu goes only to a Bambu, and nothing else goes to a Bambu. Slice in Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or the farm's Cloud Slicer and queue the 3MF.
LAN mode is required — the farm does not go through Bambu's cloud. Bambu Studio keeps working over the LAN alongside the farm.

Common questions

Does the farm need Bambu Cloud?

No — and it can't use it. Printers run in LAN Only Mode with their access code; the farm agent on your network talks to them directly, and Bambu Studio still works the same way.

Does the H2D work, including both nozzles?

Yes. The H2D needs LAN Only Mode plus Developer Mode. The farm shows both nozzle temperatures and queues dual-nozzle prints from the external spools; AMS-fed multi-material jobs follow the slicer's mapping.

Can I see the camera away from the workshop?

Every tile shows refreshing snapshots on the Hobbyist plan; Workshop streams live video on every tile, and Production streams remotely from anywhere.
