Module: MMM-Bambulink

This MagicMirror module,

MMM-Bambulink is a third-party module for MagicMirror² designed to display information about your Bambu Lab printer directly on your MagicMirror screen. The module connects to your printer over the local network using Bambu Lab’s LAN credentials and updates information automatically at a configurable interval.

Important: ONLY LAN mode NOT must be enabled on the printer.

Requirements

To use this module, you need the following information:

• The IP address of your Bambu Lab printer
• The printer’s LAN Access Code
• The printer serial number

These three values are required in the configuration to establish the connection with your printer. MagicMirror² documentation recommends clearly listing required external dependencies and setup information in a module README.

Key Features

• Monitor your Bambu Lab printer directly from MagicMirror².
• Secure local connection using MQTT/TLS on port 8883.
• Configurable refresh interval for automatic updates.
• Custom printer title using the printerModel option.
• Two temperature display modes:
  • tile view (tiles)
  • graph view (graph)
• Visual AMS display including:
  • AMS temperature,
  • filament color,
  • loaded filament type for each slot.
• Automatic highlight of the active AMS slot during printing, including when the printer switches filament. Bambu’s AMS workflow is built around slot-based filament selection and color mapping, which makes this type of visual highlighting consistent with how AMS data is handled in local workflows.
• Simple installation inside the standard MagicMirror² module structure.

Development Status

The module is functional and ready to use in a standard MagicMirror² environment. Installation, Node.js dependencies, configuration, and update steps follow the usual module workflow inside ~/MagicMirror/modules, which is the standard location for third-party MagicMirror² modules.

The project is still evolving, especially in terms of UI improvements, advanced display options, and visual customization.

Compatibility

MMM-Bambulink is designed for MagicMirror² and Bambu Lab printers with LAN mode enabled.

The required parameters such as ip, accessCode, serial, mqttPort, and useTLS indicate that the module is intended to communicate with the printer locally through a secure network connection.

Installation

Go to your MagicMirror modules directory:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/TAGinside/MMM-Bambulink

Enter the module directory:

cd MMM-Bambulink

Install the Node.js dependencies:

npm install

MagicMirror’s module guides recommend keeping installation steps simple and directly copyable from the README.

Configuration

Add the module to the modules array in your config/config.js file:

modules: [
  {
    module: "MMM-Bambulink",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
      ip: "192.168.1.x",                // Printer IP address
      accessCode: "xxxxxxxx",           // LAN Access Code
      serial: "XXXXXXXX",               // Printer serial number
      updateInterval: 5000,             // Refresh interval in ms

      printerModel: "H2S",              // Displayed printer name or model
      temperatureDisplayMode: "tiles",  // "tiles" or "graph"

      display: {
        scale: 1,
        width: 320,
        graphMinutes: 1
      },

      temperatureColors: {
        nozzle: "#ff4d4f",              // Red
        bed: "#ff9f1a",                 // Orange
        chamber: "#4da3ff"              // Blue
      }
    }
  }
]

MagicMirror² modules are configured through config/config.js, where each module is added to the modules array with its own config object. [web:134][web:267]

How to Use

After adding the module to config/config.js, restart MagicMirror².

Once running, the module will display your Bambu Lab printer information in the selected MagicMirror position, such as top_left, using the temperature display mode you configured.

Update

To update the module:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Bambulink
git pull
npm ci

Then restart MagicMirror².

Use Cases

MMM-Bambulink is especially useful in:

• a workshop,
• a technical office,
• a home lab,
• a smart home dashboard centered around MagicMirror².

It allows you to quickly monitor an active print, confirm that the printer is responding, and keep a live visual overview of the current job without constantly opening Bambu Studio.

About

MMM-Bambulink brings Bambu Lab printer monitoring directly into MagicMirror², making it possible to integrate 3D printing status into a broader smart home, workshop, or technical dashboard.

The module is open source and free to use and modify. For more information, updates, or contributions, visit the GitHub repository:
