iOS client for Bambu Gateway — browse printers, upload 3MF files, preview G-code, and start prints from your phone.
No external dependencies — built entirely with Foundation, SwiftUI, and SceneKit.
- Connect to a local Bambu Gateway server
- Browse and manage 3MF files for printing
- Preview G-code before printing
- AMS dashboard with per-unit humidity, filament remaining, and tray details
- Auto-match project filaments to AMS trays by filament ID or type, even custom profiles from OrcaSlicer
- Configure printer profiles, filaments, and plates
- Browse MakerWorld for models
- Share Extension for quick file imports from MakerWorld and other apps
The app does not talk to Bambu printers directly. It communicates with a Bambu Gateway server on your local network that proxies printer commands, handles slicing, and manages custom profiles.
- Import a
.3mffile — pick from Files, download from the built-in MakerWorld browser, or share a link from Safari via the Share Extension. - The file is uploaded to the gateway, which returns project metadata (plates, filaments, whether it's pre-sliced).
- Configure filament-to-AMS-tray mappings, machine/process profiles, and plate type. The app auto-matches custom filament profiles when possible.
- Tap Preview to slice and render a 3D G-code preview, or Print to send the job directly.
The app registers the bambugateway:// URL scheme:
