Print Farm Mode — $10/month

Your printer can do more than one job at a time

Queue up an entire weekend of prints. Pause mid-print to drop in magnets or threaded inserts. Swap filament colors between parts. Print Farm mode turns your G-code files into a full production timeline — with automation between every job.

What you can't do with a single G-code file

The hard way

  • Manually clearing the bed and starting the next file
  • No way to pause mid-print to insert magnets or hardware
  • Re-slicing everything into one massive file just to chain jobs
  • Guessing when to swap filament colors between parts
  • No preview of how the full sequence will actually play out

With Print Farm

  • Split any print at the exact layer you need to pause
  • Insert a pause to drop in magnets, nuts, or threaded inserts
  • Chain multiple files with bed clear and preheat between them
  • Simulate the entire multi-job sequence before printing
  • Export as one compiled G-code file ready for your SD card

How it works

1

Upload your print files

Drop .gcode or .3mf files into the file library. Each file is parsed independently with automatic printer detection from slicer metadata. The first file you upload is automatically added to the timeline.

2

Build your timeline

Arrange print jobs on the visual timeline. Drag to reorder. Insert automation presets between files — bed clearing, cooldown, preheat, purge line. Split any clip at a specific layer to insert a pause for hardware like magnets, bearings, or threaded inserts.

3

Simulate the full sequence

Hit play and watch the entire timeline in real-time 3D. The simulator compiles all clips into a single G-code stream with offset line numbers and layer tracking. Collision detection runs across the full sequence.

4

Export compiled G-code

Export the timeline as a single .gcode file with clip boundary comments. Load it on your printer's SD card or send via USB. Each clip's start and end is clearly marked in the output so you know exactly what's running.

Automation presets

Drop these into your timeline between jobs, at color changes, or wherever you need the printer to do something specific.

🗔

Bed Clear

Cool the bed, then push printed parts off with a sweep motion. Configurable sweep speed, direction, and clearance height.

Sweep direction Travel speed Z clearance

Cooldown

Turn off all heaters and run the part cooling fan until the bed reaches a safe handling temperature.

Target bed temp Fan speed Wait timeout
🔥

Preheat

Heat the hotend and bed to your target temperatures before the next print. Waits until both reach temperature before proceeding.

Purge Line

Prime the nozzle with a purge line along the front edge of the bed. Cleans out residual filament for a clean first layer.

Line length Extrusion amount Speed

Pause Print

Retract filament and park the nozzle so you can do something mid-print — drop in magnets, press-fit inserts, swap filament colors, or add captive nuts before the next layers seal them in.

Z-Hop Park

Raise the nozzle to a safe Z height and park at the home position. Prevents oozing onto the last printed layer.

What people actually use this for

Embedded Magnets & Inserts

Split a print at the exact layer where you need a cavity. Pause, drop in magnets, threaded inserts, bearings, or captive nuts, then resume. The next layers seal everything in permanently.

Multi-Color Without an MMU

Don't have a multi-material unit? Split your print at color-change layers and insert a pause preset. Swap the filament, purge the nozzle, and keep going — clean color transitions without extra hardware.

Batch Fulfillment

Got 15 Etsy orders to fill? Queue every file with bed clear and preheat between them. Simulate the full run to catch collisions, then export a single G-code file your printer can chew through.

Gift & Event Runs

Print 20 wedding favors, party gifts, or custom keychains in one session. Each part auto-clears and the next one starts with a fresh purge line and preheated bed.

Fit & Tolerance Testing

Print the same part at 3 slightly different scales back-to-back to find the perfect fit. No re-slicing between runs — just drag all three files into the timeline and go.

Weekend Print Queues

Load up Friday night, come back Monday. Chain your whole backlog with cooldown and preheat presets so the printer handles the transitions between every job.

Frequently asked questions

How many files can I add to a timeline?
There's no hard limit. You can add as many G-code or 3MF files as you need. Each file is parsed independently and compiled into the timeline sequence.
Can I pause mid-print to insert something?
Yes. Split any clip at a specific layer, then insert a Pause preset. The printer parks the nozzle and waits for you to drop in magnets, inserts, nuts, or swap filament. When you resume, it picks up exactly where it left off.
Can I reorder and rearrange clips?
Yes. The timeline uses drag-and-drop reordering. You can split clips at any layer, insert presets between them, and rearrange the entire sequence however you want.
What does the exported G-code look like?
The export compiles all timeline clips into a single G-code file. Each clip's start and end is marked with comments so you can see the boundaries. Load it on your printer's SD card or send via USB like any other G-code file.
