Use Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer with printers outside your LAN.
Bambu Lab printers have a LAN only mode to avoid relying on cloud services for general tasks. One limitation is that Bambu Studio can only find your printer when both are on the same LAN. Discovery happens using SSDP but due non-standard/broken implementation it does not work when they are on different LANs. Since BS lacks the simple ability to add printer via IP, SSDP is the only way.
Thats where bsnotify comes in, it will notify BS of printers outside your LAN.
Tested on Linux and Windows with P1P. If it works on X1 series let me know.
- Python 3
- Printer set to LAN only mode
- Info from your printer:
- IP address
- Serial Number
- Access Code
- Run bsnotify on the same LAN as your slicer.
python3 bsnotify <printer-ip> <printer-serial-number>
- Printer SSDP server does not seem to respond to SEARCH requests in any format.
- Printer periodically sends out the following NOTIFYs :
- to 255.255.255.255:2021 - BS responds to this
- to 239.255.255.250:1990 - BS ignores this
- BS sends out SEARCH requests but never gets a reply.
