A few major things that are preventing me from using the X1 or P1P as a farm printer is the lack of ability to easily start the same print across multiple printers at once. The current situation isn't too terrible if you just have a handful of them, but I'd like to retire my existing farm, which would mean buying 50-100 printers. It would take me ages to use the drop down in the Devices section to send to multiple Bambu Lab printers at once.
The second thing, is the ability to share printers with other Bambu Studio users.
A few examples where this would be useful are:
My boss bought an X1 for himself that lives at the office, I bought an X1 for myself that lives at home.
I would like for him to be able to start a print on my unit without sharing my login with him and vice versa.
A second example would be making accounts for employees that are limited to certain printers.
I have 2 Print farms, one is for production, the other smaller farm is for prototyping. I'd like to give my employees a login that's restricted to the production farm, and not the prototype farm.
Describe the solution you'd like
A "Send to all connected printers" button that sends the current build plate to every printer connected to the account.
Alternatively, a window that pops up with check boxes near each printer and a "Select all" feature.
A "Share printer" button where I can add the email of another Bambu Studio account and have it appear in their instance of Bambu Studio.
Describe alternatives you've considered
If the X1/P1P could be made to support Octprint I could use my existing farm software. Not sure how that would work considering the lack of external USB functionality.
