Can I use Bambu Studio on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Bambu Studio from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Bambu Studio installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Bambu Handy has its own mobile printing workflow. Apperture is useful when you specifically need the Bambu Studio desktop window. Review the model and printer settings before sending a print. Bambu Studio project and releases.
