it is possible with the solution I posted
Thank you for sharing the only viable solution
you can send the gcode to the printer via bambu studio, simply click on the down arrow next to the print plate button and hit send, then you can just start it from your phone when you need. i do agree scheduling prints would be fantastic

That is not what is being asked here. I don’t want to wake up at 4 am to start my print from my phone

Would LOVE to see this feature! VERY helpful to start a 5 hour print job at 2AM and then remove the supports shortly after it finishes at 7AM! Right now I have to run a print before bed and then remove the supports many hours later when it less than ideal for a good print!

WTF happend to the tool head!?!?!?!?!
This is so good for me to know. My printer is across the yard in an apartment upstairs in my barn! Now running up and down those stairs multiple times has been a good thing… but now I might just eliminate one trip or 2!!

Yes, please add this feature. It’s annoying to edit gcode to schedule, and sometimes you forget to edit it back later.

This is a really important and beneficial feature to schedule prints.
Scenarios are ofc. for wanting to automatically start prints at odd hours but for me specifically i live in a place where electricity pricing varies a lot.
Thus I want to schedule my print to run when i know the price of electricity is low.
So please add the feature for future schedulation of print tasks - maybe even allow for a queue on a single printer that is running on schedules.

sounds like a very good idea i must say.

slightly related but off topic i have also seen where they have removed the door and wrote gcode to use the print head to automatically push the print off the plate →out the door → into a basket
I have wanted print que since the x1c first came out. It appears that multi-printer does NOT have what I am calling que.
I want the ability to create a list of things sent to the printer. Just like a paper printer has you can send a second job while the print is still busy. A 3d printer would need a conformation that the bed is cleared before the next starts. But the same thing. Part of what I want is the ability to sort so the bed changes happen at good times. The ability to change the next to print. Maybe for finish time, maybe for rush priority job.
There are pay services that give this. Other printers have this option.
Part of what I want this for is so I could tell someone to change the bed when I am not there, that are not technical.
One current option is to use add all of your parts you want to a print in multiple plates and use the “Print multi plate” option when slicing. This allows the user to “print next” when for first job complete and they have cleared the bed(X/P2S/H).
Another option that looks pretty promising is “Bambuddy”.
Forum post about it.

will look into bambusy.
I wonder if there is some way to make a print que with home assistant. I think the pieces are there.
It looks from the screen shots it has the features I want. Is there a video showing how it works? It helps to see it working, all the steps needed to print and start the next. Will be a week or two before I am able to do a test.
It says a requirement is python. Is that just for compiling, or is it a machine that runs the python code. To me; Python is a language. does not describe what machine it is running on.
Where are the files spooled from? I assume it needs some OS. Is speed an issue? It would be great if it ran on something simple like a Arduino. That might be too limiting, maybe a Raspberry Pi. Or does it need more?
How has this feature not been created yet after nearly 2 years?
Its very simple to code a schedule even something as simple as start print in x hours/min whatever, some variable we can dump in there to delay print. (id rather have something quick and simple if someone over at bambu studio can whip something up rather than wait any longer, dont need anything complex like a full year calendar system etc.)

A couple years ago when I ask about a que they responded with that is available for print farms.
I don’t see whey a basic que like all 2d printers, have had it for a long time. With the long print times of 3d printers it is more needed.
