Bambu Lab
Printer link — Live
Section titled “Printer link — Live”Tiger Studio connects directly over the LAN:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Protocol | MQTTS (TLS), port 8883 |
| Filament | AMS support — up to 16 slots, per-slot filament edit |
| Discovery | SSDP + TLS probe, plus Add-by-IP |
| Camera | JPEG stream (TCP 6000) / RTSP |
| Telemetry | Temperatures, job progress, print preview |
Native RFID — spec documented, in-app read planned
Section titled “Native RFID — spec documented, in-app read planned”Bambu spool tags are Mifare Classic 1K with HKDF-SHA256 UID-derived
keys — cryptographically locked to serve the vendor’s ecosystem. A read-only
decoding spec is maintained in
docs/rfid-vendors/bambu.md.
The workflow
Section titled “The workflow”- Add the printer — Tiger Studio finds it on the LAN (SSDP discovery, or Add by IP); pair with the printer’s LAN mode access code (step-by-step in-app tutorials cover Dev/LAN mode per series: A1, P1, X1, H2).
- Scan a spool — phone or desktop reader; the spool lands in your inventory.
- Assign it to an AMS slot — Tiger Studio pushes the filament profile (material, color) to the slot over MQTTS; the machine-side info now matches reality, across up to 16 AMS slots.
- Live — temperatures, job progress, print preview, wall-clock “Ends at” time, and the camera feed, right in the printers view.
Limitations
Section titled “Limitations”- Native Bambu tags are not read in-app yet — the spec is documented, and the current work aims at converting vendor tag data into TigerData spools (see Compatibility).
- LAN mode required for the direct link.
