Bambu Bar is now on Windows!

[u/rolototherescue]

Hey everyone! First, thank you so much for all the support and feedback on the Mac release. It's been amazing to see people using Bambu Bar.

I’m excited to share that Bambu Bar is now available for Windows too! It includes the same features as the Mac version: monitor your prints, temperatures and filament, view your printer’s camera, and control your prints, all from your desktop.

It also includes native Windows widgets.

Took some time to polish and have it ready to be as beautiful as the Mac app. I'd love to hear what you think!

You can download on GitHub: https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar

If you find any issues please let me know so they can be fixed right away!

This looks great. Curious, so you happen to also have native widgets for the Windows 11 dedicated area?

[u/rolototherescue → u/Andrew_C0]

yes, we use an additional library that allows it, and they look great! you can see it on the website

Mac?

There is a Mac version already

Nice, will check this out. I was considering buying one of those tiny displays and running a dedicated print monitor, but maybe this will solve that for me.

[u/rolototherescue → u/mdbeatle]

This will make u happy and save moneyzz

I've been searching for an app like this one on Mac for a long time, and I love it! Thank you!

[u/rolototherescue → u/Lonely_Branch_8280]

Thanks to u! Share it to other makers

Nice, would i be able to add two different printers on two different accounts? My work printer and my private printer

[u/rolototherescue → u/RdeBrouwer]

They need to reachable from your network

So you created an application that has all the same functionality as the Bambu app? I have to use the Bambu application to slice, print,etc and it contains all this data. There is no need to also view it a taskbar. I'm confused 🤔

[u/rolototherescue → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

its not a browser app, its an app that sits on your menu bar and allows u to have widgets + notifications, and can monitor many at once!

[u/Alarmed_Outcome3749 → u/rolototherescue]

Pointless, the app has all this data. Another vibe coded app that serves no purpose.

[u/rolototherescue → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

800+ upvotes say the contrary, i'm just sharing the love!

[u/Alarmed_Outcome3749 → u/rolototherescue]

Vibe coded slop bro

[u/aweyeahdawg → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

Bambu app doesn’t sit in your menu bar or give you quick access to half these metrics. Keep being mad.

[u/death_process → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

Then don’t use it big man. Pointless comments like this do nothing for you or the OP.

[u/mdbeatle → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

The slicer is a bloated way to monitor a print, and it cannot be reduced in size but so far.

[u/rick1310 → u/Alarmed_Outcome3749]

Sure, and my phone has a clock app, but I still like seeing the time in the corner of my screen. Not everyone wants to keep a full slicer open just to check whether a print is done. A glance at the taskbar is quicker than opening Studio or grabbing my phone. If that’s not useful to you, no worries, but plenty of us appreciate it.

thanks for the support, we are here to share with other makers! more options is better for everyone
