It would make posible to manage printers remotely in system without BS installed.
Yes, we have Handy App, but the features are not comparable.
That would be awesome: Then a Chromebook would be enough to design (TinkerCAD, Onshape), slice and print a thing – without installing anything!
I do most of my work on an iPad.
Currently I use Onshape free on iPad, which is a full featured cad program. It easily handles 3d rendering and can export my models as step or stl to the iPad.
To complete the workflow without having to fire up my pc, all I need is a browser based version of Bambi slicer. I’d even pay for the privilege.
There are some open source online slicers, which I have tried, but for my use case, I would prefer to stick with the official slicer and settings.
I have a laptop issued by the school and due to admin restrictions i cant get the app, so having a web version would be very convinient, only concern being that it would run very poorly.
yeah that would be awesome for me on my school computer
Same! Agree 100% with your sentiments on this topic
In fact, that would be the only solution for Bambu studio to be stable on Linux…
I can’t even use it anymore
Hi @MakerWorld, any comment about this?
There are 324 votes in the poll.
I think a web-based slicer would have to be a subscription service to support the costs of the servers.
I think one reason Bambu does not allow multiple user accounts per printer is the additional server and support expense.
So perhaps a subscription service could offer both a web slicer and remove the one printer/one user restriction. Probably need to maintain one admin account per printer to approve printer access.
I HATE subscription services, so I am in the “I couldn’t be less interested” camp.
would think otherwise, seeing as there are other apps like octoeverywhere. They offer subscriptions, but then again its for useless stuff like AI failure detection and stuff. Even then, its only 10 dollars a month. If there is a web version its only for when i need to monitor a long print during school.
As a person very adverse to being dependent on cloud it always scared me when companies do a lot of cloud; but as long as we can still use the hardware locally it’s fine I guess.
If such a slicer interface was ever developed; it could be cool to be able to run locally from the printer (it should be powerfully enough?). That way one could connect to the local IP from a browser and get settings and slicer. Just like a lot of devices have web interfaces to control them.
Was there any advance on this idea?
If it was a webapp that was just the front-end, and the 3D rendering (thing “streaming game” service) and model slicing was done “in the cloud” on Bambu servers, it’d make sense. But a webapp that just runs the slicer locally doesn’t make it “lightweight” in any way, and the whole point of these apps is to limit the burden they place on the system running the app.
This times 100. If it needs a sub I’m not interested. Actually, wouldn’t use it at all anyway but that’s me. Allow it, then there’s going to be more calls for storage, all the initial bugs, I see a giant never ending headache. As if there aren’t enough of those already.
is the bambu studio in web ready now?
While this might be useful to someone, the compute costs for this will be pretty high. Slicing is pretty resource intensive for any larger model. Add the thousands of hours to get the UI working in web, and you’re left with two options: either “never going to happen” because it’s not worth it for Bambu, or a lobotomized app like Hnady
how do u use it on linux
that would be so helpfull for me

But no comment from Bambu Lab.
there is a bambua studio adaptions for raspberry pi if im not mistaking. Im pretty sure I have it on our pi400. Ras Pi runs a linux system, perhaps your linux system can run this BS adaption for the Pi world
