Overview

Kinkajou Bridge

Kinkajou Bridge is a local multi-printer hub that connects 3D printers to Streamer.bot and other tools through a shared HTTP and WebSocket API. Windows users can install a packaged app; Mac and Linux users run Bridge from source.

What it does

  • Connects services (for example Bambu Lab cloud), printers (cloud or LAN), and integrations (Streamer.bot)
  • Supports multiple printers and mixed connection paths at once
  • Fires Streamer.bot DoAction on Kinkajou Bridge (with event_name / printer args) when Streamer.bot is connected
  • Serves OBS overlays and a local API so on-stream widgets, bots, and other apps use the same hub
  • Runs as a system tray app and optionally headless (--service)

Streamer.bot is optional. Bridge can integrate with Streamer.bot for automation, but built-in and custom overlays talk to Bridge directly — they do not require Streamer.bot.
