Send prints to Bambu Lab printers through Bambu Connect, Bambu Lab's official app for printing from other software, or Bambu Studio. Use when the user wants to print a sliced `.gcode.3mf`, a Bambu `.gcode` or an unsliced model on a Bambu Lab printer, over Bambu Cloud or LAN. The agent opens the file in the app; the user picks the printer and starts the print there.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
The skill manages local 3D printers and handles LAN access codes. It relies on an external tool (bambox) for file packaging and interacts with network devices. It includes strong safety measures, such as dry-run modes and restricting network access to private IP ranges by default.

Bambu Lab printers take print jobs from other software only through Bambu Connect, Bambu Lab's desktop app for third-party tools (https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/third-party-integration). This skill opens a file in Bambu Connect, or an unsliced model in Bambu Studio; the user picks the printer and starts the print there. The agent never controls a printer and never asks for access codes.
Requirements
Bambu Connect (Windows 10 or later, macOS 13 or later), signed in to the user's Bambu Lab account, with the printer on that account or reachable in LAN mode (https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-connect). On Linux, where Bambu Connect is still in development, use Bambu Studio.
Choose the handoff
| What the user has | Handoff |
|---|---|
A sliced .gcode.3mf, from $gcode or Bambu Studio's or OrcaSlicer's "Export plate sliced file" | Open it in Bambu Connect |
A plain .gcode sliced with this printer's Bambu profile | Open it in Bambu Connect; if Bambu Connect refuses it, slice the model in Bambu Studio instead |
A model with no slice: .3mf, .stl or .step | Open it in Bambu Studio, which slices it and sends it to the printer itself |
Open a file in Bambu Connect
Bambu Connect imports a file from a bambu-connect://import-file link with
three parameters: path, the file's absolute path, and name, the name to
show, each percent-encoded the way JavaScript's encodeURIComponent does it
(Python: urllib.parse.quote(value, safe="")); and version=1.0.0. For
/Users/me/prints/bracket.gcode.3mf:
bambu-connect://import-file?path=%2FUsers%2Fme%2Fprints%2Fbracket.gcode.3mf&name=bracket&version=1.0.0
Open the link with open "<link>" on macOS, or Start-Process "<link>" in
PowerShell on Windows. Bambu Connect comes forward with the file loaded.
Open a model in Bambu Studio
On macOS run open -a BambuStudio <file> (some installs name the app
Bambu Studio). On Windows open the file from Bambu Studio's File menu, or run
Start-Process <file> when Bambu Studio is the file's default app. On Linux run
bambu-studio <file>, or open it from the AppImage or Flatpak.
Finish in the app
Before the user presses Print, tell them what to check: the printer, plate type, nozzle, filament and AMS mapping, a clear build plate, and someone nearby for the first layer. Never report a print as started: the agent can't see the printer, and the app shows the job and its progress.
Out of scope
Starting, pausing or cancelling prints without the user, and reading printer
status: Bambu Lab's firmware takes those from other software only through Bambu
Connect, or in Developer Mode, which is LAN-only and disconnects the printer
from Bambu Cloud. For slicing, use $gcode or Bambu Studio.
