Bambu Lab 3D printers
Bambu Lab ships an official, cloud-free Developer Mode with a documented local protocol, a rare case of a vendor opening the door itself. It disclaims support for what you build on it.
What it can become
What owners already do with it, easiest first.
Monitor and send jobs with no Bambu cloud
Turn on LAN-only mode and Developer Mode in the printer's own settings, then control it from Home Assistant over your network.
Slice and send without Bambu's app
The local MQTT protocol that Developer Mode opens is documented by the community; a desktop monitor can watch cameras and progress without the cloud.
Replace the OS on an older X1 Carbon
A custom firmware gives a root shell and a different UI on X1-series units still running the older, rootable firmware base. Bambu Lab closed this path for anyone who did not opt in before the cutoff; check your printer's firmware version first.
