Bambu Bar 2.0.0 brings your printer's camera to the Mac.

Camera

  • Watch the printer's live view on the Printer page, in a collapsible preview in the menu bar panel, and in its own resizable window that stays on top (⌘K).
  • X1, H2, P2S and X2D printers stream over RTSPS: turn on LAN Only Liveview on the printer (Settings → Network). Full LAN Only mode isn't needed. P1 and A1 printers use their JPEG stream.
  • The camera is off by default. Turn it on in Settings → Camera, then for each printer on the Printers page. Until both are on, it's hidden everywhere.
  • The camera streams only while you can see it: a collapsed preview, a closed panel or window, or a camera scrolled out of view uses no connection. In Settings you can choose to keep it connected during prints so it shows at once.

Other changes

  • A new Show printer actions switch in Settings → Controls hides pause, resume, stop and speed controls, so Stop can't be clicked by mistake.
  • Dismiss an issue banner with its ×. It stays hidden while the printer keeps reporting that issue.
  • A printer added before it announced itself on the network now takes the name it announces.
  • The A1 is verified on real hardware for monitoring.

Fixes

  • A printer whose serial appears in lowercase, in Bambu Studio's settings or in its network announcements, no longer shows up twice with one copy offline. Importing from Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer keeps every access code it finds, so the one that works is used.
  • Printers saved twice by an earlier version are merged into one.
  • An A1 set up before 1.2 shows as an A1 again, not a P2S.
  • The printer's certificate is now checked on every connection, including reconnections.

Universal build for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple. Requires macOS 26 or later.

Install: Download Bambu-Bar-2.0.0-macos.zip, unzip it, and move Bambu Bar.app to Applications. Printer monitoring, controls, and widgets work without a supporter license. Allow Local Network access when macOS asks so the app can connect to your printers.
