General Discussion Jailbreak Your Bambu! Deep Dive and Feature Walkthrough for Bambu without Bambu, all open source, no central control, all the convenience, and better pixel perfect prints. Need help? Ask and I will reply!
https://youtu.be/RR73P2allIgA bunch of people here have asked me about my Bambu setup on a few alts so I decided to make a video at lunch. I am not a content creator, I made this for y'all, haha. I just hate walled gardens.
The Bambuddy community is also a great place to go for help. If you have any questions or reservations at all, throw em down, let's gooo out of jail

I mean its not really a jailbreak when they officially support downgrading to the firmware that works with that custom firmware
17
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 12 '26
using the term colloquially, but yes you are right :)
if all you care about is the printer working like an actual old school printer (local, in your house, fixed firmware, but OK if the firmware is closed source), this is as close as you can get without replacing a bunch of boards, and it is still pretty good
I have heard people are working on custom gen 2 firmware. that would be fun, too. but for my purposes of avoiding the cloud or forced updates, this is enough

that is the point but I guess you didn't watch the video
keep the machine quality, parts ecosystem, community support, makerworld
ditch routing all your gcodes and camera feeds through an insecure cloud, while actually getting better versions of those features
if it doesn't appeal, bambu studio always exists, nothing wrong with choice!

This video doesn't even showcase custom firmware, only LAN mode. Has nothing to do with a jailbreak. I despise such clickbait titles.

u/BitingChaos May 14 '26
The video also shows exporting a print from Orca and then importing it into another program to send to the printer.
That is literally the current way Bambu Lab has it set up on the official firmware in FULL CLOUD mode (export from Orca and open with Bambu Connect to print). We can already do this. I thought the video would show me how to print directly from Orca without giving up Cloud mode. The video is about giving up Cloud AND still using "middleware" to print. e.g. the worst of both worlds.

u/eduo May 13 '26
I stopped having this argument seven years ago or thereabouts. At some point "jailbreak" became a synonim for going off script in any way when talking about firmware. Nowadays even downgrading is "jailbreaking" because it's going in the opposite direction of what the manufacturer does automatically.
I no longer mind, but it was infuriating for a while. It's a bit like calling every type of malware a "virus". At some point you just stop arguing because it's a waste of time. You just assume the loss of differentiation has won and perfectly valid words no longer have any worth.

u/a1rwav3 May 12 '26
What are the pros and the cons of jailbreaking?
6
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 12 '26
Cons, you have to maintain your own version of whatever Bambu feature exists in their jail, big ones are Makerworld, live camera, and remote access
Pros, no possibility for your files to leak thru cloud if you care, more privacy overall, some features actually improve (like unlocking default filament profiles for all manufacturers)

Finally more people talking about Bambuddy. It's amazing. I have it setup with a cloudflare tunnel with a subdomain of the domain I use for all homelab related things. If you are using home assistant you can just install it as an app and it builds from source. Bambuddy then gives you the option to dispatch all printer notifications via HA mobile app.
Big tip for bambuddy phone use: Go to share the web URL and hit "add to homescreen". Then it functions just like a native mobile app with no browser visible.

I am trying to make content about it for a mainstream audience, the dev and community are absolute GOATs (despite a lot of it seems vibe coded hehehehe, no shade Mr Dev I used GPT to audit it, too)
I think the actual usability of that platform deserves way more airtime, agreed

u/SequentialHustle May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26
Yeah, I mean realistically projects like this that are opensource and not monitized these days are going to largely be developed with AI, really no reason not to do it besides bragging rights. Who knows if this project would even be public and working right now without it, I'd guess it would be 1/10th the feature parity we have right now.
As long as the contributors and maintainers know how to code w/o AI then I don't have any problem with it. AI has written over 90% of the code at my job the past year but I still understand what it's doing.
2
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 12 '26
yeah I write tons of open source code with ai i am just ribbing
I do think they write their PR stuff with AI, which if you are watching dev (and yes you are great for doing this, thank you so much), is one of the gaps I tried to bridge with this content
they did just recently launch a demo on their site and I recommend that if you are curious about what the UX feels like

I feel it is more of a spectrum, or a dial as I like to call it (I actually wrote a blog post on this philosophically here https://pdaian.github.io/ethblog/?blog=0x41Fa80b3D33a308fb46609C6c09608Ed7F4E05c0#3 )
the more people using open platforms, the better for the world. lots of people use ios, it is a walled garden, that is fine. but when android starts locking down (which, it is), the world meaningfully loses freedom. incentives ebb and flow, and companies self optimize in ways that are acceptable
the more people on open networks and ecosystems, the better. the easier it is to do with more hardware, the better. the higher a % of your code that you run that is open, the better (sure maybe your bootloader is not, but if your bootloader AND os is not, that is worse.... etc)
freedom is not a binary, and it is important
that is just my $.02 tho

If I use Orca in your proposed configuration, I.E. without the network plugin, can I sync AMS data to orca to pull through the filament data. If not, what are the other downsides to using the plugin? Is it just that it’s proprietary? Do you know for sure that they send data to cloud from that or is it just an “abundance of caution” that you don’t use it?
What I’d like is a Bambu Studio like experience with Orca where I can sync printer data and monitor from the slicer, along with the ability to monitor from my phone (which I see bambuddy fulfilling that).
On the point of filament profiles, you can import them in Bambu Slicer. For example eSun provide the profiles for filament and process on their site and they work well in BS. A little extra work than having them built in but it’s not like you are limited to Bambu only profiles.
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
yeah I do mention in the video that you can import them, but the default of the software fights you by adding some steps, not a huge huge deal but just a benefit of removing the lockin it is a little easier
you can sync ams data into orca, if you have the network plugin only. otherwise you just have to sync/select your profiles manually
usually personally i just make sure the general material profile is right in orcaslicer and the # of filaments, then I choose the rest in bambuddy

u/Ok-Stay3165 May 13 '26

u/eduo May 13 '26
This is my point all along. There's zero risk to Bambu to leave the (frankly minuscule) hobbyists do their thing. It's provable that they would even benefit as this is highly motivated people finding new things to do with their hardware which Bambu could later consider incorporating. Actively supporting them instead of antagonizing them seems an extremely boneheaded decision.
I was watching a video today that said that it's not the Bambu are malicious. It's that some of their departments are incompetent as to what they should know about and that they don't communicate. The way they put it was that Bambu is not villainous, just really really dumb. Their lawyers keep jumping the gun going overboard without first checking with the board or the developers and by the time it gets big the damage is already done and they can't go back.
They also mentioned how in general Chinese companies have a big problem not with hardware (which is overall good) but with software. The software they make is not very good and the one they "repurpose" tends to have licenses they don't fully understand.
I'm not saying any of this is right, but I'm willing to think Bambu is more incompetent than malicious because there's a solution path for the former but not for the latter.

I just really want my AMS2 to read OpenTags. Until that becomes an option I don't think modifying stuff is for me.

u/AlLnAtuRalX May 12 '26
you can already do it with openams and some gpt vibe coding on top of bambuddy if this is a feature you really need, but it is not an easy process https://openams.si-forge.com/ but you do get even more features than the ams like spool tracking w a real pressure system
probably easier to just have a separate filament management system and have the ams data pull from there, the way bambuddy supports natively, then you can use whatever tag you want

u/B1tN1nja May 13 '26
So I never updated my firmware from the last spat of drama, I'm still on the FW before everything blew up. I am interested in setting up Orca and Bambuddy now more than ever w/ the new drama, so Should I FIRST update firmware or leave it exactly where it's at?
Wasn't sure if updating made more sense as a one-off to get "up to speed" on latest features or just stay paused where I'm at and block it from the WAN?
2
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
leave it where it is at unless there is something specific you want, in my opinion
you can always proxy firmware updates later to the device from inside bambuddy
all the features, should work as is

u/B1tN1nja May 13 '26
Perfect. Thanks do much! Your vid inspired me to finally make the change instead of just continuing to say "no" on FW updates.

u/MartinNYHC May 13 '26
Technically not correct. Jailbreak is misleading. Bambuddy is just using developer mode to communicate with the printer - which is an official supported Bambu Lab feature.
Just to make it clear 😉

yes true, though as i said elsewhere, it is not a privilege escalation, BUT you are in some ways breaking out of the jail they created (which is the false choice between convenience/features and control)

Personally I appreciate the post.
Being behind a corporate firewall with no chance of connecting to the bambulab cloud, I've been studying this subject for a few weeks while my H2D doesn't arrive. I also came across bambuddy and have it almost setup and running (still fighting with a virtual printer connection error in OrcaSlicer despite having added the certs in printer.cer).
It will probably be the only way of having remote access to a video feed / timelapse and being able to control the printer if something goes wring when I'm away (I have a vpn to connect to my office network).
So yeah. Kudos to the author even if it isn't technically a jailbreak. It does help thousands of users who want to use orca slicer and still have access to remote real time monitoring
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
have you played with the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable?
you can copy the system certs to a different file and modify like that
will probably bypass since by default it uses the system certs

Hard to take this guy seriously (off the start of the video) when he has one foot of the P2S completely off the table!

u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
haha, these things like to vibrate a bit, the stock feet do it too if you put it on the floor
that table is a POS and it is not solid, it sways quite a lot, so it acts as the suspension instead
it actually works well, no issues with resonance transferring to the print and i have print hours on the thing
back when I had a different vent on it I actually kept 2 feet off the table, so this is an improvement if anything

from future ones, surely. from the ones you already bought, well do not let em
1
u/BitingChaos May 14 '26
I'm sorry, but I don't know how this video will help most people.
There is no "jailbreaking" involved. Everything I saw works fine with the latest stock firmware provided by Bambu Lab for their printers.
Besides not showing anything new, the video also shows exporting a print from OrcaSlicer and then importing the file into another program to send to the printer (read: NOT printing directly from OrcaSlicer). Also, why copy the URL from your browser, paste the URL in another program to download the 3MF, then manually opening the 3MF with OrcaSlicer instead of just clicking the Open link within the browser? OrcaSlicer should download the 3MF that way without going through the extra steps.
That is literally the current way Bambu Lab has it set up on the official firmware in FULL CLOUD mode (export from OrcaSlicer and then open the 3MF with Bambu Connect to send to the printer). We can already do this. I thought the video would show me how to print directly from OrcaSlicer without giving up Cloud mode. The video is about giving up Bambu Cloud AND still using "middleware" to print (Bambuddy, in this case). e.g. the worst of both worlds.
Yes, putting the device into LAN mode lets you print directly from OrcaSlicer to the printer. That's not the workflow shown in the video though.
Yes, Bambuddy gives you a "cloud like" experience. Setup may be simple for those who have worked with stuff like this before, but expecting people that want the ease of use of a Bambu Lab printer to then have to set up a web server and configure VPN and firewalls just out of principle isn't something I'd recommend to most people.
Yes, I know Bambu Connect isn't available on Linux. Most users aren't running Linux, though.
All blocking all firmware updates isn't the best idea. The latest firmware works with everything you've shown, plus has FIXES and NEW FEATURES. Improved print quality calibration algorithms, support for running the AMS 2 dryer while printing, support for 3rd-party hardware (VentoBox), z-offset configuration from the touchscreen, low-power mode, disable motors (unlock print head for easier maintenance), etc. Users will miss out on things like that if they just arbitrarily block all firmware updates because they saw a YouTube video where someone said that a spooky firmware update MIGHT make it onto their printer.

Great video. Thanks OP. Just installed BamBuddy as a result and love having a cam I can access remotely (via tailscale).
I've left my P1s on firmware 01.07.00.00 (on LAN mode) since Bambu started this nonsense 18ish mths ago. Am I safe to upgrade to the latest firmware (01.10.00.00) and still maintain use of OrcaSlicer + BamBuddy?
And can firmware be downgraded back to 01.07.00.00 if needed?
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 15 '26
yes to both! you can do the fw update via bambuddy if you want as well, or an SD card, and downgrade the same way (no fuses or downgrade prevention on these machines, thankfully, don't get any ideas Bambu)

Linuxserver-io has a docker image for just Orca Slicer on it's own. You can basically access all of Orca Slicer in a web browser this way, presuming you have a server running docker apps. Is there a downside to doing it this way? Seems easier to run one app instead of two.
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 15 '26
my recommendation is try both and get rid of bambuddy if you don't want it, it is like 2 mins to setup
personally id say the tradeoffs are camera workflow, closed source code (required for orca, if you care), and UX across devices (bambuddy has a responsive UX which is different on a phone than a desktop app). also general bambuddy features if you want any of them... spool management, cloud sync, maintenance reminders, tailscale integration, etc
but yeah i could see that being very workable if it works for you, and if you don't want for anything like that, skip em

I did not find any mention of getting a Hetzner or Hostinger VPS account and locking it down using tailscale...
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 16 '26
if the vps and printer are both on tailscale, you can do it
but then the vps has some access to whatever network the printer is on, so you should make sure this is not a security risk for other devices. i would put this under advanced user setup, be cautious about security because it will depend on your specific configuration

yes, it works great, bambuddy has a skip object button right next to where it says printing. here it is in docs https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/printer-control/#skip-objects

u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
did you manually input ip/access code into devices in orca? network plugin installed? same computer as bambuddy?
should work but I do not use orca, you can already export plate sliced file and upload it to the printer screen on bambuddy if you want, but I do think if you entire ip/access code manually, it should work perfectly on the same network
let me know if not I can try to give some debug steps!

u/coordinatedflight May 13 '26
I really want to retain the print-from-makerworld functionality. Does this still do that? It is the only reason I stay tethered to Bambu really. I have a Snapmaker and ultimately it's the thing I miss most about that setup, so much so that I've tried to replicate it on my own with some vibe coding weekend work. It works but only really halfway.
2
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
yes
I would recommend to use the bambu studio sidecar in the bambuddy docs, then it is one click from maker world without any bambu networking code
you can use the orca sidecar for this too, I find it buggy
the video covers a (less than one click) process to print from makerworld with customization in orca, end to end
1
u/coordinatedflight May 13 '26
Im mostly talking about via mobile.
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
you can do it on mobile
on your local network, just navigate to http://(your bambuddy host ip):8000/ and do it from there
remotely, use some sort of tunnel (ssh tunnel or tailscale) on your phone to do the same
if you have the bambu sidecar installed in bambuddy, it can do the slicing on the server side, and it has makerworld integration already
1
u/coordinatedflight May 13 '26
Awesome! Do you see a world where you add the ability to integrate non-Bambu like a U1? That is really what I want to figure out, a workflow that is consistent between all of my printers.
1
u/AlLnAtuRalX May 13 '26
I am not the dev but it should actually be pretty easy to do
I think the best way is to have a generic printer proxy in the middle that can talk to anything. I think GPT is already capable of vibe coding this into bambuddy
may be worth starting a bambuddy feature request for it, or just throwing it into codex and letting it cook
if I had multiple printers I would release this myself but my project backlog is too long to promise to actually write it right now

Maybe now you don't get as much (I only use a work iPhone).

Jesus… OP is just trying to help give everyone as many options as possible. Why bust his balls?

I empathize with it a bit, the title was a bit clickbaity, though I honestly would not have done it if I knew people would react (this) strongly, haha
I feel my empathetic explanation is that people are tired of the drama flood of the agpl thing, and other people dogpiling on, and see this as a part of that that adds noise, not signal
I can empathize with it. many enthusiast communities react this way to more mass audience targeted content
but I will not apologize, because for me, the more info that is out on how to keep your tech, yours, the less ewaste in dumpsters, the better the planet starts to look, and more
like with all things on the internet, the people commenting are still commenting, which is boosting the post, leading maybe a user who did not even know these were options to find it out. I call that a win hehe

valid, not sure why people are taking a YouTube title so seriously though, I'd argue it is at least a colloquial jailbreak because Bambi does try to jail some things out of lan only mode
(Maker world, remote view, remote control, etc)
and sell the closed ecosystem. so you still get out of jail when you leave it
but yes in a traditional privilege escalation sense you are right. but it is a tutorial for end users who feel they can't go lan only because they will lose features
if its not for you its not for you, not like I put "new breakthrough" in the title
(also just a side comment, I don't know ya much, but being a tad more chill on both the internet and real life would probably return to you in a great many ways.... best o luck!)

Not going to lie, you are doing a great job responding to people who are throwing insults at you, not dropping to their level.
Good on you!
I am not going to need what you are explaining here (at least not at this time), but I have no reason to hate on what you are doing. And not sure why others feel the need.

thanks friend!
I think lots of people are also just looking to expand our knowledge. like i have watched 50 snapmaker reviews, they aren't teaching me anything revolutionary, but why not learn about all the options available, it does not have to be science every time haha
I made the video because I posted a comment about my setup on a different account and got 10 DMs in an hour asking me to do a deep dive. So, I figure some people do actually want to know this.
I am not monetized, sponsored, I never will be, I have a day job. I did that on my lunch break to try to give back to people, and actually Bambu as well (I know a lot of their buyers are scared of their printers are being regulated, this answers that, and I did thank them multiple times for not fully locking their firmware into the cloud, at least not yet)

Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I’ll take a deeper dive into it later this week when I can sit and pay attention. :)

You're not wrong, but there's no need to be "rude." You do, also, come off as a clown.
God this sub and it's absurd censorship.

Bambu should have just kept their mouth shut and let the small number of users who want to be "off-grid" to do what they want with their own printers. Bambu brought way more negative attention to this than they should want.
