Bambu Heater Control

A small Python tool/package to automate temperature control for Bambu Lab printers using TP-Link Smart Strips (HS300).

Features

• Monitors the chamber temperature by subscribing to printer MQTT messages.
• Looks up desired temperature based on the currently loaded filament type.
• Automates turning on/off a TP-Link smart power strip outlet to maintain the target temperature.

Installation

Local Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/bambulabs_heater_mod.git
   cd bambulabs_heater_mod

2. Install in editable mode (so changes are reflected immediately):

   pip install -e .

   Or use poetry if you prefer:

   poetry install

Usage

After installation, you can run the package in several ways:

1. Module mode:

   python -m bambu_heater --help

   You can pass --host and --password arguments directly:

   python -m bambu_heater --host 192.168.42.87 --password 12345678

2. Console script (if you set one up in pyproject.toml—see below):

   bambu-heater --host 192.168.42.87 --password 12345678

Environment Variables

If you don’t provide --host or --password on the command line, the tool looks for:

• BAMBU_PRINTER_IP
• BAMBU_PRINTER_ACCESS_CODE

export BAMBU_PRINTER_IP="192.168.42.87"
export BAMBU_PRINTER_ACCESS_CODE="12345678"
python -m bambu_heater
