Hello all,

I am very confused on the state of using octoprint with bambu p2s. I currently use an Ender 3 S1 Pro with octoprint. I use quite a few plugins in my setup. (Arcwelder, pretty gcode etc.).

The thing I am confused about is can octoprint be used with a bambu labs printer and if so, are there limitations.

But to go deeper, what features of octoprint would still be useful for a bambu printer. Could I still use arcwelder/ pretty gcode) or are the options more limited just due to the technicalities of the situation.

Would I have to use the printer in LAN mode to be able to use octoprint at all?

I apologize for all of the questions, I've just been confused on this and don't want to dive in to another printer until I know what to expect (losses/ gains).

Thank you all!!

I believe the current state of OctoPrint 1.11.5 and Bambu Labs printers is iffy but things should get better with 1.12.0.

I believe @jneilliii might have a better answer.

Yes, the options are more limited with my current Bambu plugin, and don't see that changing with the plugin for 1.12.0. Plugins that process gcode or rely on the gcode lines being sent line at a time from OctoPrint are completely out the window.

The current plugin rc version has worked in the past for cloud mode, the connector plugin for 1.12.0 will only support local only/dev mode.
