Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/298

Problem or Use Case

as the name states, bambuddy is focussing on Bambu printers. While few features only make sense on bambu printers, most of the app can also enable print farms with different printer brands (e.g. Prusa) or mixed setups: archives, queues,

Proposed Solution

For Prusa, there is PrusaLink that allows to send gcode to a printer on the local network, quite similar to Bambu's implementation.

Would be willing to implement and test (we have multiple prusa printers in our local fablab)

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

Print Archiving

Priority

Nice to have

Mockups or Examples

No response

Contribution

I would be willing to help implement this feature

The question is: who would maintaining the Prusa part of the code long term? As we are implementing new Bambuddy features, this may also affect the Prusa part of the code.

I thought about support of other printers too! For example support of Klipper printers. The question is, are there real features, which only are available for Bambu Lab printers? And how is the logic of the code designed? Maybe it would be possible, if the printer support is modular, so that a module for another type of printer, e.g. Prusa, could communicate via an plugin type interface.

For me it's not clear at the moment, where the project does going. I like it, but I watching at the moment. The only function, which makes sense for me at the moment is the archive of prints and the nice statistics.

I don't think that this is something for the current stage of Bambuddy. You never know what happens, but for now it is not going to happen.
