Send a print job to several P1S printers at the same time

Is it possible with BambuLab Studio version 1.9.3.50 to send a printing plate not only to one printer, but to 8 printers of the same type at the same time after slicing, for example? It is always a bit time-consuming for me to have to send the print to each individual printer via the software. Printer type P1S with AMS. I have not yet found anything in the software that gives me this option.

Hello @Fahrsteiger

Welcome to the forum.

In Bambu Studio, go to preferences by pressing the arrow in the top left corner or pressing “CTRL+P”.

Select the option Multi-device Management and reboot the Bambu Studio so that the feature becomes active:

After slicing the model, press the arrow in a green box at the top right corner and select the last option, “Send to Multi-device”:

Afterwards, you will find a menu where you can configure the multi-device operation. Further details can be found at:

Sending a Job to Multiple Devices

If you have any questions, let me know.

That’s exactly what I was looking for! In Germany they say … You can’t see the wood for the trees!!! :blush:Thank you. But… only a maximum of 6 devices are possible. Can you increase the number? If so, how? We will continue to order printers until the end of the month, and then come to a total of 20.

AHaha!

Currently, it is limited to 6. You may solve this by splitting the printers into different accounts, e.g. each account has five printers.
There are third-party apps, such as GitHub - TFyre/bambu-farm: Bambulab Web interface for multiple printers, but I am unaware if one that can override the limit.

It is a personal option, and I bet you already thought about it, but I would prefer to start multiple printers with a short time difference. The printers demand considerable power for bed heating, so six printers simultaneously will create a significant peak in consumption. Considering the standard 16A/230V of DE, you will be limited to three printers per line.
