Hey everyone, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: a comprehensive, one-click install automation system for 3D printers.

It works seamlessly across native Linux, WSL, and Chrome OS, and is designed to support virtually any 3D printer.

Key features include customized Klipper configurations and a dynamic, user-friendly control interface designed for maximum ease of access, speed, and stability.

Known Completed Configurations: Ender-3 V3 SE

Known Compatible Printers: Ender 3 V3 SE

If you have any recommendations on my next configuration setups please do not be afraid to let me know as I am looking for all suggestions for anyone who needs assistance.

Please note that this is a work in progress and is not completed. I am not liable for any damages, etc.

I have been doing research and have found some solutions on how to do this but wanted to see if anyone has some first hand experience. I am printing with 30 or so P1S printers exclusively ABS and need to start building a serious air handeling system. These are in a 14,000 Cubic Foot room.

I am thinking I will duct all of the printers together and pull the air directly out of the printers the trick is going to be doing this without cooling the inside of the printers. Than taking that air passing it through a heat recovery ventilator to recover some of the heat especially in the winter and pump that back into the room.

The questions i am working on are.

- How do i measure the air being pulled from the printer.

- How much air should be being pulled from the printer.

- Making sure the air pull is balanced between all of the printers.

- Is there a way to monitor the air pull to make sure this doesn't change.

- I need this to scale this building is designed to fit 300-400 printers.

- Is there anything i am not thinking about or issues i may run into?

Hello fellow print farmers! Today is Printer Farm Friday!

Feel free to ask any questions, share info or comments here. We're trying to build a community in this sub where you can ask questions about topics like:

• How to improve your workflow
• How to slice for printer farm operation
• What tools are available for farm operators
• Printer maintenance
• Filament management
• etc.

Our hope is to get people to start talking about the importance of printer management in a printer farm scenario.

What would you like to share or what questions do you have?

Hello everyone! I currently run a small print farm with 12 printers—9 CC1s and 3 P2Ss. I recently discovered Bambuddy and have been really impressed with it. It’s gotten me thinking about eventually replacing my CC1s so I can manage the entire farm through Bambuddy.

I’m trying to decide between buying more P1Ss or P2Ss, and I’d love to hear from those of you running print farms.

One concern I have is maintenance. I don’t replace nozzles very often, but when I do it’s usually because of a “blob of death.” I just had that happen on one of my P2Ss, and replacing the heating element was much more involved than I expected. I really like how, on the P1S, you can simply swap the entire hotend assembly in just a few minutes.

For those of you running multiple printers, which platform would you recommend for a print farm, and why? Is the P2S worth the extra maintenance complexity, or would you stick with the simpler hotend replacement on the P1S?

It has IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) system so i imagine you 3d printing farm owners are excited for it… or maybe not? Im curious about your thoughts. Im thinking to deposit $20 for the pre-kickstarter campaign

Hey everyone,

I run a small multi-printer setup and have been building an open-source tool called Flightdeck to solve the annoying day-to-day stuff that starts showing up once you have more than one printer and a pile of filament.

It is not trying to replace Bambu Studio. It is more of a local print-room dashboard for tracking what is loaded, what is printing, what finished, and what filament was actually used.

Current beta focus is Bambu printers only. My own testing has mainly been on X1C and H2D with AMS / AMS HT.

What it does right now:

• Live local dashboard for multiple printers
• Camera view and print status in one place
• Bambu queue / reprint workflow
• AMS slot and spool assignment tracking
• QR spool labels and scan-to-assign from phone
• Automatic filament deduction during prints
• Print history with cost, spool usage, notes, and audit trail
• Print bay / vault style file management
• Optional browser slicer worker setup

The part I’m especially interested in feedback on from farm users is the spool/inventory side. Flightdeck is built around the idea that the printer’s AMS state and your physical spool stock need to stay in sync, because otherwise print history and filament usage become guesswork pretty quickly.

This is still beta, built from real shop-floor use, so I’m mainly looking for people who are comfortable testing, giving blunt feedback, and reporting rough edges.

Bambu is the only properly tested path right now. Klipper/Snapmaker support is planned, but not what I’m asking people to test yet.

If anyone here is running a Bambu-heavy print room or small farm and wants to try it, I’d genuinely appreciate the feedback.

Cheers,
Chris

Multiview of your printers all in one screen This is why I am requesting beta testers. We have tested up to as many as 10 printers in 1 screen.

History

This gives you a complete history of spools used , also filament deduction at every 10% intervals. Cost the complete story.

Full filament management

Let’s get to the point: I’ve looked at several factories and they can’t do it, or can only give prefabric modifications.

I hope to find a really capable factory or engineering team to complete one together:

✅ Small custom business card printer

✅ Can use iPad to connect and print on the spot

✅ Not a pre-made machine on the market

✅ Volume suitable for event / store / exhibition on-site use

I have the funds, the resources, not just asking.

As long as you can really do it, we can seriously cooperate.

If you have the ability or recommend candidates, welcome to private message or message, thank you very much 🙏
