Bambu Bar
Your Bambu Lab printer,one click away.
Print progress, time left, temperatures and AMS filament for Bambu Lab printers, in the Mac menu bar.
Overview
Bambu Bar keeps the answer in the menu bar: 66% · 53m. Click it and a panel shows the job, the stage, temperatures, the spool in use and how much filament is left, with pause, stop and the chamber light. It talks to your printers over your own network, the way Bambu Studio does in LAN mode, while they stay bound to your Bambu account.

What it does.
Progress in the menu bar
A printer glyph that fills as the print grows, with the percentage and time left beside it, and a mark when the printer needs you.
Everything at a glance
The job and its stage, layers, finish time, nozzle, bed and chamber temperatures, and printer errors in plain words.
Filament in grams
Bambu Lab spools report their weight, so you see ≈ 810 g left, by color name, along with the humidity in your AMS.
Controls
Pause, resume and stop, print speed from Silent to Ludicrous, and the chamber light. Bambu Lab allows print controls in LAN Only mode with Developer Mode on.
Every printer
Watch the whole farm at once, sorted with the ones that need you first, then by soonest finish.
Desktop widgets
Small, medium and large widgets, one per printer if you like, counting down between updates.
