# Bambu Bar

> Bambu Bar is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app for Bambu Lab 3D printers. See progress, time left, temperatures and AMS filament in grams, pause or stop a print, watch every printer at once and keep a desktop widget. Local network only: no account, no cloud, no analytics.

Bambu Bar 1.3.0 is free and open source (MIT), requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later on Apple silicon or Intel and a Bambu Lab printer on the same local network. Download: https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar/releases/download/v1.3.0/Bambu-Bar-1.3.0-macos.zip. Source: https://github.com/rolottr/bambu-bar. The Mac App Store version is coming soon; Windows and Linux versions are coming next. It is independent software by rolottr, not affiliated with Bambu Lab.

Key facts:
- Menu bar: A printer glyph that fills as the print grows, with progress and time left beside it (or just one, or only the icon), and a pause or alert mark when the printer needs you.
- Panel: The job, its stage ("Heating hotend", "Paused: filament ran out"), percentage, layers, time left and finish time; nozzle, bed and chamber temperatures; AMS spools with what's left and the humidity; printer errors in plain words, in Bambu Lab's own translation.
- Grams left: Bambu Lab spools tell the AMS their net weight, so Bambu Bar shows filament left in grams (≈ 810 g), not just a percentage, and how much you have on hand in total.
- Named filament: Bambu Lab spools show their colour by name (Grass Green, Charcoal). Other spools show the maker and product of the preset you set, such as SUNLU PLA Matte.
- Controls: Pause, resume, stop (with a confirmation), print speed (Silent, Standard, Sport, Ludicrous) and a chamber light switch.
- 3D printer models: Each printer family is modelled in Blender; in the app it's a live 3D model you can turn with the mouse, with the print growing layer by layer in the filament's colour.
- Knows your model: You only see what your printer can report: no chamber temperature on an A1 or P1S, both nozzles on an H2D, heated-chamber targets on the H2 and X1E.
- Many printers: Watches all of them at once. All Printers lists the ones that need you first (failed, paused), then by soonest finish.
