Cloud print farm control

Turn scattered 3D printers into a managed production queue.

Print Control gives teams a cloud dashboard for Bambu LAN and Klipper printers, with smart routing, filament-aware scheduling, operator tasks, and a local relay that keeps printers off the public internet.

Why teams switch

Most farms outgrow manual slicing, spreadsheets, and printer-by-printer checks.

The hard part is not pressing print. It is knowing which machines are free, which material is loaded, what needs clearing, and how many finished parts are actually ready.

Jobs wait behind the wrong printer

Parts get assigned to machines that cannot run the file, do not have the material, or still need bed clearing.

Operators lose context

Teams need one task list for bed clears, failed prints, alerts, filament changes, and printers that need attention.

Cloud access creates network risk

Printer LAN services should stay private, while managers still need status, cameras, and queue control from anywhere.

Platform

Everything an operator needs on one dashboard.

Queue jobs, track active prints, manage filaments, and give operators a clear task list without exposing printer network services to the internet.

01

Smart job routing

Send parts to idle printers that match the required printer family and loaded filament.

02

Parts library

Store sliced variants for A1, X1/P1, and Klipper printers with previews and reusable print settings.

03

Filament control

Build a shared filament library, assign AMS slots, and match multi-colour jobs to the right machines.

04

Operator tasks

Surface bed clears, failed prints, offline printers, and manual release tasks in a simple work stream.

Production workflow

From a sliced file to finished parts without babysitting every printer.

Print Control is designed around the real loop of a small production farm: upload a proven part, set the quantity, keep printers fed, and give operators the next clear action.

1

Create a reusable part

Upload Bambu .gcode.3mf or Klipper G-code, keep the original file, extract thumbnails, and add variants for each printer family.

2

Map loaded material

Assign library filaments to single-spool printers, AMS Lite slots, or multiple X1/P1 AMS units labelled A through D.

3

Queue the quantity

Tell Print Control how many parts you need. Jobs start paused, then run when a manager starts the queue.

4

Let free printers pick up work

The scheduler matches printer type, material, availability, manual-clear rules, and remaining quantity.

Relay architecture

Cloud visibility without opening printer ports.

A small Raspberry Pi or Linux relay sits on the printer LAN and connects outbound to Print Control. It handles local status checks, uploads, printer commands, discovery scans, and camera frames.

  • No inbound firewall rules at the farm site.
  • Relay-backed network search finds Bambu and Moonraker printers.
  • One Pi 5 can cover roughly 20-40 printers for normal dispatch and status polling.

Farm operations

Built for the things that slow down real print farms.

The platform connects job planning, printer readiness, filament setup, local-network control, and billing into a single team workspace.

Printer fleet view

See Bambu and Klipper status, temperatures, progress, camera state, alerts, and loaded material in one place.

Operator mode

Give floor staff a focused list of clear-bed tasks, failed-print checks, printer alerts, and ready buttons.

Part library

Reuse approved G-code, keep thumbnails, manage variants, download originals, and avoid repeated uploads.

Multi-material routing

Match single-colour and multicolour jobs to printers with the right filament in the right spool or AMS slot.

Cloud teams

Invite team members, isolate every team workspace, and manage users, plans, coupons, and billing from admin tools.

Local control path

Use relay tasks for printer status, dispatch, camera frames, network scan, home, temperature, and stop commands.

20-40 printers per Pi 5 relay target
2-6 simultaneous camera views per relay
0 printer ports exposed to the internet
16 X1/P1 AMS slots supported per printer
Who it helps

Designed for teams printing repeatable parts, not one-off hobby jobs.

Small production farms

Run batches of customer parts, spares, fixtures, jigs, packaging inserts, and shop products.

Design and prototyping teams

Keep shared printers useful without asking everyone to watch every machine or know every spool.

Print service operators

Give operators the next action, managers the queue, and customers a more reliable turnaround.

Before and after

Replace manual coordination with a queue that understands the farm.

Print Control does not just list printers. It connects printer capability, material, parts, quantities, operators, and local-network control into one repeatable workflow.

Without Print Control

  • Files are resent manually for every repeat run.
  • Operators check each printer one by one.
  • Filament availability lives in memory or a spreadsheet.
  • Remote visibility means trusting fragile network workarounds.
  • Completed quantity is counted after the fact.

With Print Control

  • Reusable parts hold approved variants and thumbnails.
  • The scheduler finds capable idle printers automatically.
  • Filament library and AMS slots drive job matching.
  • The relay keeps printer access local and private.
  • Jobs show remaining quantity, active printers, and progress.
WooCommerce integration

Turn store orders into paused print jobs automatically.

For teams selling printed products, Print Control can connect to WooCommerce so mapped products create print jobs without a manager re-uploading files or copying order details by hand.

  • Available on selected billing tiers controlled from Print Control admin.
  • Map each WooCommerce product to a reusable Print Control part ID.
  • Leave the variant blank to let Print Control pick the right A1, X1/P1, or Klipper file.

Sync
Print Control Paused job queued

Part ID, quantity, and optional variant are sent securely.

1
Install the plugin

Download the Print Control WooCommerce plugin from the app and paste a team integration token.

2
Map products

Add a Print Control part ID, optional variant ID, and print quantity multiplier to each product.

3
Queue from orders

When an order reaches Processing or Completed, Print Control creates an idempotent paused job.

FAQ

Questions before connecting a farm?

Print Control is built around LAN-mode printers and outbound relay connections.

Do printers need to be exposed to the internet?

No. A relay on the local network connects outbound to Print Control and talks to printers locally.

Does it support Bambu AMS?

Yes. You can enable AMS Lite for A1-style printers, or define up to four AMS units for X1/P1-style printers and assign filaments to A, B, C, and D slots.

Can it work with Klipper printers?

Yes. Klipper printers are managed through Moonraker for upload, status, cancel, and G-code commands.

Can WooCommerce orders create print jobs?

Yes, on plans where WooCommerce is enabled. Install the plugin, map products to Print Control part IDs, and orders can create paused jobs automatically.

What does the relay need?

A Raspberry Pi or small Linux computer on the printer network. It connects outbound to Print Control and handles local printer communication.
