Description
PrintSphere
PrintSphere is a standalone companion display for Bambu Lab printers. It can use Bambu Cloud, local printer access, or a hybrid setup.
Originally built around the Waveshare ESP32-S3 AMOLED 1.75" touch display, PrintSphere v1.6 now also supports a second firmware variant for the ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-2.8C.
What it can show
- print progress
- current printer state
- job name
- remaining time
- nozzle, bed, and chamber temperatures where available
- layer information
- Wi-Fi, USB, and battery status
- cover preview and project title
- local camera snapshots on supported models
- AMS information for up to 4 AMS units
- HMS and printer error details
What v1.6 adds
- sound notifications for important printer events
- custom WAV upload via Web Config
- improved multi-AMS pages
- better HMS tray-slot highlighting
- support for multiple printers on one Bambu account
- Cloud, Local, and Hybrid connection modes
- OTA firmware updates
- touch PIN protection for Web Config
Portable by design
Once configured for Bambu Cloud, PrintSphere can be used anywhere in your home and can even run through a phone hotspot as long as the printer remains reachable through the cloud.

Software and Assembly instructions
Quick Setup Summary
- After flashing, PrintSphere starts a setup AP:
- SSID: PrintSphere-Setup
- password: printsphere
- Connect to that Wi-Fi and open http://192.168.4.1.
- Save your home Wi-Fi credentials.
- After reboot, open the new device IP in your home network.
- In Web Config, connect Bambu Cloud:
- password
- region
- If Bambu requests an email code or 2FA code, enter it there.
- Optionally add the local printer path:
- printer IP / hostname
- printer serial number
- access code
Recommended Setup Notes
- For most users, start with Hybrid.
- A working Bambu Cloud login is currently the main real-world setup path.
- On some printers, cloud data may already be enough for progress, temperatures, remaining time, and layer information.
- If cloud data looks incomplete on your model, adding the local MQTT path may still improve the result.
- The printer serial number may be resolved automatically from the cloud path, but entering it manually can still help while testing.
Model Notes
- P1, A1, and often X1 family: best current candidates for Hybrid
- P2 and H2 family: often best to start cloud-first
- P2 & H2 series Printer - local status may require Developer Mode & Lan Mode
Camera notes:
- local JPEG camera support only for A1, A1 Mini, P1P, and P1S
- X1, X2, P2, and H2 families use an RTSP-style path in code, which is not working with this hardware
