Bambu TUI: my print farm in a terminal

Bambu TUI banner with a pixel-art terminal and bamboo shoot, reading 'Your print farm. One terminal.' and listing status, filament, and notices.

On most days I live in a terminal. Okay, maybe not literally, but I do, literally, always have a terminal open and visible on my screen. Sometimes many terminals, with many tabs, across many screens.

I don't like to have Bambu Studio always open, and often I'm not even on the same machine a job is running on. I wanted a way to view my farm and see the things I cared about most at a glance.

That's where Bambu TUI started. A terminal dashboard for my Bambu Lab printers, somewhere I already spend most of my day.

I wanted printer status. Which printers weren't idle, how much time was left on a job, whether I was out of filament. Relative humidity levels, temperatures, and important notices that needed attention. All the bits and bobs you'd expect from someone who loves htop.
