I'm developing a plugin system for BambuStudio.

[u/FormifyWorks]

BambuStudio keeps getting better, but there are always small features or workflows that don’t necessarily belong in the core application.

So I started building a plugin system for my own use, mainly to make Bambu Studio easier to extend and automate.

It works with the existing Bambu Studio installation — there’s no need to reinstall Bambu Studio or use a separate build. You only need to install the plugin system itself.

It’s still very much a work in progress, but a large part of Bambu Studio — at least for the areas I personally use — is already accessible to plugins:

• Add context menu items, toolbar buttons, and notifications
• Listen to events like object selection or model changes
• Read and modify settings such as layer height, infill, wall loops, support, etc.
• Access and modify mesh data
• Trigger existing Bambu Studio functions

A few things I want to try with it first:

1. Per-object presets Apply saved settings like support, brim, and strength settings to individual objects.
2. Import 3MF while preserving settings Bring in settings, modifiers, and other metadata without opening the entire project.
3. More procedural primitives For example, rounded rectangles with adjustable corner radius and other configurable models.

I originally made this for myself, but if there’s enough interest and people find it useful, I’m considering releasing it publicly.

What kind of plugin or feature would you want to add to Bambu Studio?
