## What is Bala Print?

Bala Print is the iPhone and iPad companion for your Bambuddy server: monitor and control your Bambu Lab 3D printers from anywhere, without relying on the cloud.

YOUR WHOLE WORKSHOP AT A GLANCE
• Dashboard: printers online, active prints, print queue
• Live progress, time remaining, finish time, layers and temperatures
• Loaded AMS spool colors and HMS alerts

CAMERA AND CONTROLS
• Live camera, full screen, shareable snapshots
• Pause, resume and stop prints
• Chamber light, print speed, fans and temperature targets
• Smart plug: power the printer on or off, see its consumption and switch it off automatically after a print

FILAMENT
• Every AMS and external spool with remaining amount
• "Running low" list so you can swap a spool before it runs out

PRINT QUEUE
• Preview of every job
• Edit a job: printer, plate, AMS filament mapping, print options
• Choose when to print: as soon as possible, queued with manual start, or scheduled

ARCHIVE AND STATISTICS
• Print history with search, filters and reprint
• Success rate, hours, filament used, cost and energy
• On-device insights powered by Apple Intelligence: nothing leaves your iPhone

LOCK SCREEN, DYNAMIC ISLAND AND WIDGETS
• Live Activity with pause / resume button
• Small, medium and large widgets, including a camera snapshot
• Lock Screen widgets

MAKE IT YOURS
• Six interface colors, light, dark or system appearance
• Multiple servers (local or remote), API key or login

A built-in demo mode lets you try everything without a server.

IMPORTANT: Bala Print requires a self-hosted Bambuddy server (open source, https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy). Bala Print is an independent app, not affiliated with Bambu Lab or the Bambuddy project.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-11-05

What's new in 1.1:
• Print queue: group your files by project and reorder prints with the arrows, kept in sync with Bambuddy.
• Not enough filament: a message shows what is missing per slot, and you can print anyway.
• AMS spools: the remaining percentage now comes from your Bambuddy inventory, which is more accurate.
• Live Activity: progress and time left keep moving on their own, even when the app is closed.
• Sign-in with credentials: the session reopens automatically when it expires.
• Statistics: better-aligned filament chart and one colour per printer.
• Settings: new server icons, and the tracking bar at the bottom of the screen is gone.

### 1.0 — 2026-11-04
