I wrote this for my own interfacing and automation, but it might be useful to others. I haven't tested it with anything other than my X1C in LAN mode.
This tool is extensible, meaning it is easy to add new functionality in a modular way. It is pluggable so you can add your own local commands or hooks with python entry points.
Works on linux, macOS, and Windows without external dependencies (other than Python).
This is not associated with Bambu Labs in any way.
$ pip install git+https://github.com/kk7ds/shoots
$ shoots -h
usage: shoots [-h] [--host HOST] [--device DEVICE] [--listen LISTEN] [--reconnect] [-v] [--debug]
key {debug,files,info,monitor,print} ...
positional arguments:
key Network key
{debug,files,info,monitor,print}
Command to run
debug Watch for every stat
files Manage files on printer
info Show info about printer
monitor Watch printer status
print Control printing
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--host HOST Hostname to connect to, otherwise find first printer via discovery
--device DEVICE Printer Device ID (detect on connect if ommitted)
--listen LISTEN Listen address for discovery
--reconnect Attempt to (re)connect forever
-v, --verbose Log verbosely
--debug Log all messages and other debug info
By default, it will try to discover the printer the usual way. However, you can just pass it the hostname/IP to connect directly (which Bambu should support everywhere, of course.) You must pass the network key per usual.
Example:
$ shoots abab01cd files list
Benchy.gcode.3mf
Scraper.gcode.3mf
$ shoots abab01cd print fromsd --file Benchy.gcode.3mf
$ shoots abab01cd monitor
Printing 0% complete 1h9m remaining, ETA 14:05:57
Printing 1% complete 1h8m remaining, ETA 14:05:57
Run it with --verbose for more information about the discovery and connection
process, or with --debug for all the details.
