I have a prusa MKS3 and a P1S on order. Currently I use octoprint with the prusa but I don’t want to use two different controllers. So I’d like to send prints from bambu studio to the prusa and also control it using wifi. Since the MKS3 doesn’t have wifi I know I’ll have to go through something like a raspi.
Does anyone have any idea how I can do this? Is anyone already doing this?
Just tried adding an MK3s to Bambu Studio. It does have a profile for the MK3s - but doesn’t seem to have any option to control the printer or interface with Octoprint - all you seem to be able to do is export GCode files - so I guess you would then have to import them into Octoprint using a web browser.
Wouldn’t surprise me if there wasn’t some automatic way of sending files exported to a specific location to Octoprint though as there are some many add ons available.
Orca Slicer might be worth looking at too - as Octoprint might be enabled in there.
It’s probably easier to add a Bambu profile into prusaslicer and send the sliced file to Bambu studio if you want to use the cloud, or direct to sd card but that will require you to manually insert the card. I don’t know if octoprint can send to a Bambu in Lan only mode?? Prusa slicer or super slicer is still more polished than Bambu or orca IMO.
Thanks for the suggestions but so far they don’t meet my goal of running only one slicer and only one printer controller. Sorry if I didn’t make this clear in my OP.
Yes, you can connect Octoprint for a Prusa in Bambu Studio. Add the MK3S to your printer set. Then click on the green WiFi icon to the right of the printer name.
Well, actually that would be two different controllers, octoprint for mks3 and studio for p1s, but I’ll have to give this some thought. At least there would only be one slicer so I should probably be happy.
Thanks - didn’t spot the wifi icon.
Not sure how beneficial it would be - but re the OPs request - I guess Octoprint could probably be configured as an MQTT client - to monitor some aspects of the Bambu Lab printers, and maybe do things like controlling TPLink switches to power on and off the printers.
Just sell the Prusa. It’s what you’ll do once you have the Bambu.
I am using Orca slicer for my X1C and Prusa mk3s+ . Installed Astroprint on Pi WIFI and USB cable to the prusa . Do not use the latest Studio as still missing a few things , which is a bit anoyiong
No issues with Orca slicer. the only issue i had is manually create new profile based on the 0.4mm, when using 0.6mm and 0.8mm extruder but that was relatively simple and a bit tedious all layer widths and heights needs adjusting
You don’t have another option. The “controller” you mean is printer specific. The octoprint enables the MK3S (and other printers) to get gcode via network and activate additional options. The Bambu Lab printers have this functionality builtin (in a proprietary way). So anyway you need an “controller” for the MK3S and the P1P. But these are one-time setups. The important thing is the slicer. Bambu Studio and the Orca Slicer (fork of Bambu Studio) are able to work with them and this is your interface for every print. Give it a try. I’ve used Orca Slicer with my P1P and my Ender 3 and it works seamlessly. 
I use a Toshiba FlashAir 4th Generation SD Wifi SDHC / SDXC memory card for the MK3 may be old school but it works.
Unfortunately support for astroprint seems to have vanished. And people are having trouble installing the octoprint plugin. I considered getting their astrobox but the purchase page is missing. Can anyone recommend an alternative to astroprint?
Studio can write to the card? Then how do you start the print? I’m guessing you walk to the printer and use the mks3 display to select the file and print. That’s a bit more trouble than starting it remotely but not a big deal.
Damn, the Toshiba FlashAir 4th Generation SD Wifi SDHC / SDXC costs $283! Cheaper wifi card adapters cost $18.
After considering all options suggested (thanks to all) I’m just going with the simple studio to octoprint solution. So I’m using the bambu studio slicer and the octoprint control.
P.S. I’m much happier using octoprint inside bambu studio than I expected. The integration is seamless. And I was able to use the octoprint in raspi I’ve been running for years. I only had to install a plugin and everything just worked.
So my fear of switching from studio to octoprint every time I switched printers was unfounded.
When I was using prusa I used octoeverywhere.
I don’t remember but I think I only gave about $35
