PrintReport now flattens CommandEnvelope (sequence_id/command) - push_status.schema.json composes the shared envelope like every other Bambu message; the struct's old doc comment concluded otherwise from a capture that turned out to be an incomplete example (also missing dozens of other real fields), not proof the message lacks them. Added BambuMqttSession's PrintStatusCache: the in-memory print.push_status object, replaced wholesale on v2 (always full) or on a v1 message with msg != 1 (forced/full), merged field-by-field otherwise (v1's organic partial updates) via PrintReport::merge_from. Tracks last_sequence_id to warn on a gap in the organic stream. BambuPrinter gets pushall() (v1-only; pushing.pushall doesn't exist in v2's schema at all) and print_status(). Three real bugs found and fixed via live testing against an actual P1P, none of them guessable from the schema alone: - pushall's reply doesn't echo the sequence_id we send - the printer stamps its own free-running counter regardless of what triggered it. request()'s ID correlation silently can't work here; first fix attempt added request_next_of_category (wait for the next message under a category, no ID needed). - That undershot too: matching by category alone let an unrelated "print" message (that category carries many commands - gcode_line, pause, push_status, ...) satisfy the wait before the real push_status reply arrived, so pushall() returned Ok having consumed the wrong message - now keyed by (category, command). - A real ordering race: handle_incoming_report woke a waiting oneshot before updating the print_status cache, so a caller could resume and check print_status() before the write landed - pushall() returned Ok immediately followed by print_status() still showing None. Fixed by applying the cache update before sending on any matched oneshot. Superseded by real protocol knowledge before any of the above needed to ship, though: push_status carries its own msg field (1 = automatic/ partial, 0 = forced/full) - the actual, reliable, self-describing signal for which kind a message is, regardless of timing or which client (if any) triggered it. PrintStatusCache now reads that directly instead of inferring it from request correlation, and pushall() is plain fire-and- forget (publish, no wait) since there's nothing left to correlate for - confirmed live: msg reads correctly off a real P1P, and the cache populates/updates correctly with no gap warnings across several organic pushes. request_next_of_category is kept (a future case may still need "no correlation ID at all" for real), just no longer used here. Also: the poll loop now logs when it exits instead of returning silently - that silence is exactly what made a real dropped MQTT connection to a live H2C indistinguishable from "nothing happening" during testing.
continuum-proxy
Edge gateway daemon for the Continuum print farm platform. Runs on a Linux
SBC on-site, talks to printers over the LAN, and keeps a connection to the
cloud control plane (continuum-backend).
This is a learning-stage boilerplate
This repo is deliberately minimal right now - real printer protocol clients
(Bambu MQTT+FTPS, PrusaLink REST, Klipper/Moonraker WebSocket) are not
implemented yet. Each vendor is a stub that just prints what it would do
(src/printer/bambu.rs, prusa.rs, klipper.rs). The idea is to learn
Rust's polymorphism pattern (trait + enum, since Rust has no class
inheritance) on something simple before adding real networking on top.
Getting started
cp .env.example .env
cargo run # the daemon: cloud uplink + go2rtc watchdog
cargo run --example printer_polymorphism # standalone demo, no network/env needed
cp printers.example.toml printers.toml # fill in your real printers (gitignored)
cargo run --example test_bambu_certs # real TLS handshake test against each Bambu printer
Structure
src/
main.rs Runs the uplink and the go2rtc watchdog side by side
config.rs Loads settings from environment variables
fleet.rs Loads printers.toml into ready-to-use PrinterHandles
uplink/ WebSocket client to continuum-backend: connect, heartbeat, reconnect on drop
printer/ GenericPrinter trait + PrinterBase + PrinterHandle enum + one stub per vendor
go2rtc.rs Restarts the go2rtc camera-restreaming process if it dies
examples/
printer_polymorphism.rs Runs all five printer stubs through one `connect()` call site
test_bambu_certs.rs Loads printers.toml, does a real TLS handshake to each Bambu printer
src/printer/ is where the "inheritance" question lives - see that
module's doc comment for the trait+enum pattern this project uses instead
of class inheritance, and run printer_polymorphism to see it work.
printers.toml (gitignored - copy from printers.example.toml) holds real
per-printer connection details: host, access code, and - since not every
Bambu printer trusts the same certificate (see certs/README.md) - an
optional per-printer CA override. src/fleet.rs loads it; nothing in
main.rs uses it yet, but test_bambu_certs does, as a real (if narrow -
just the TLS handshake, no MQTT) way to check a printer's certificate
without needing the full MQTT client built yet.
What's not here yet (on purpose)
- Real MQTT/FTPS/HTTP/WebSocket printer clients -
src/printer/*.rshas aprintln!where each of these will go. - Local SQLite buffering for telemetry across connectivity gaps.
- LAN printer discovery (SSDP/mDNS).
- The mechanical plate-changer interface (serial/GPIO).
Add these back in one at a time as you get comfortable with the Rust underneath them - each is its own small lesson (async I/O, a new crate's API, error handling for a real protocol) rather than something to absorb all at once.
