Spoolink puts a 3D printer farm in your pocket

spoolink.app Observed source

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A native iOS companion for self-hosted Bambuddy servers, offering mobile printer status, camera feeds, filament tracking, file uploads, queue management, and print controls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The app is designed around an existing self-hosted Bambuddy installation rather than a separate Spoolink backend. Its stated workflow covers live printer state, queue changes, camera viewing, archived-print reprints, and uploads of .3mf, .gcode, or .stl files. A particularly specific feature is the conversion of HMS fault codes into plain-English explanations. The page also identifies the project as unofficial, community-built, and supported directly by one person.
