I built a local-first dashboard for managing a small Bambu print farm, looking for beta feedback
Hey everyone,
I run a small multi-printer setup and have been building an open-source tool called Flightdeck to solve the annoying day-to-day stuff that starts showing up once you have more than one printer and a pile of filament.
It is not trying to replace Bambu Studio. It is more of a local print-room dashboard for tracking what is loaded, what is printing, what finished, and what filament was actually used.
Current beta focus is Bambu printers only. My own testing has mainly been on X1C and H2D with AMS / AMS HT.
What it does right now:
- Live local dashboard for multiple printers
- Camera view and print status in one place
- Bambu queue / reprint workflow
- AMS slot and spool assignment tracking
- QR spool labels and scan-to-assign from phone
- Automatic filament deduction during prints
- Print history with cost, spool usage, notes, and audit trail
- Print bay / vault style file management
- Optional browser slicer worker setup
The part I’m especially interested in feedback on from farm users is the spool/inventory side. Flightdeck is built around the idea that the printer’s AMS state and your physical spool stock need to stay in sync, because otherwise print history and filament usage become guesswork pretty quickly.
This is still beta, built from real shop-floor use, so I’m mainly looking for people who are comfortable testing, giving blunt feedback, and reporting rough edges.

Bambu is the only properly tested path right now. Klipper/Snapmaker support is planned, but not what I’m asking people to test yet.
If anyone here is running a Bambu-heavy print room or small farm and wants to try it, I’d genuinely appreciate the feedback.
Cheers,
Chris
This gives you a complete history of spools used , also filament deduction at every 10% intervals. Cost the complete story.
