Installation for BambuLab - crysxd/OctoApp-Plugin GitHub Wiki

If you use OctoApp with a BambuLab printer, you need to install the Companion plugin on an external device, e.g. a spare Raspberry Pi zero. The plugin will run on this machine and connect over the local network to your printer.

The Companion Plugin is 100% optional and only required for notifications and Live Activities.

[!NOTE]
Support for BambuLab was added with OctoApp 3.0 which is currently in closed beta

  1. Prepare the Raspberry
  • Open an SSH connection (learn more here)
  • Run sudo apt-get update

  • Run cd octoapp
  • Run git fetch && git checkout bambu
  • Run ./install.sh -bambu
  • The installation is now started, follow the prompts on screen

The app will automatically detect the plugin and register itself for notifications
