Smart print queue

A print queue that thinks in plates, pieces and due dates

Add a job once, in pieces or plates, and the queue matches each plate to a printer with the right model and colors loaded. A person confirms the plate is clear and taps Send. Nothing prints by itself.

Right job, right printer

Only printers with the job’s filament and exact colors loaded are offered, with the AMS slot for each color.

Due dates you can trust

Split a job into shipments with dates. Each one shows On track, At risk or Late from real plate times.

Safe by design

A person marks the plate clear before anything is sent, and every plate is followed through to finished.

Smart print queue

How it works

Add a job

From the library, an order design or Studio. Choose pieces or plates, colors from inventory and print settings.

Mark a plate clear

When a plate comes off, mark the printer clear on the queue, in its window or from a QR scan.

Send

The queue shows the job that printer would get, or why nothing fits. Tap Send.

Jobs in pieces, plates and phases

A job for 600 pieces becomes plates; each plate can go to a different printer and the job counts what is left. Give it shipments with dates and the queue tracks each one.

Priority

Up, down, top or bottom; pause low-priority work.

Printer tags

Keep jobs on “PETG only” or a room’s printers.

Split and merge

Split a job, or merge compatible plates.

Any color of a material

Sliced per printer with the spools it has loaded.

Suggestions, not surprises

Smart Queue points out late and at-risk jobs, jobs no printer can take, and a more urgent job that would also fit a ready printer. Use the suggestion or keep the queue’s pick. Nothing reorders by itself.

Sliced for whichever printer takes it

A job saved for one model is sliced for the model that takes it, keeping the file’s own changed settings and the colors you chose. A file saved for the same model keeps every setting.

Questions

About smart print queue

More in the FAQ.
