+Bambu.sh
+---
+
+A (probably terrible) Bash-based client for remote-controlling Bambu Labs 3D printers.
+
+This is based on [reverse-engineered MQTT message format](https://github.com/Doridian/OpenBambuAPI/blob/main/mqtt.md).
+
+Only tested on Linux and with my Bambu P1S 3D printer. This might require later firmware versions (mine is `01.06.00.00`) to function.
+
+Dependencies
+---
+
+- Bash
+- Socat
+- Mosquitto (more specifically, `mosquitto_rr` for MQTT messaging)
+- jq
+- curl
+
+Installation
+---
+
+This is a single script program. Download or symlink it anywhere you'd like.
+
+Configuration
+---
+
+Put the following content into `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bambu.conf.sh`:
+
+```sh
+BAMBU_IP=<ip>
+BAMBU_SERIAL=<serial>
+BAMBU_ACCESS_CODE=<access_code>
+```
+
+Usage
+---
+
+For details, run `bambu.sh help`. Some examples:
+
+To upload a model to `model/` inside the SD card:
+
+```sh
+bambu.sh file put my_great_model.gcode.3mf model
+```
+
+To start a print using the model uploaded above:
+
+```sh
+bambu.sh print start model/my_great_model.gcode.3mf
+```
