What's coming
next.
Here's what I'm planning and researching. If something here would be a game-changer for you, let me know — it helps me prioritize.
Resin & Filament Management
Track your resin and filament inventory with full specification tracking. Log which prints used which resin or filament, track resin mixes for custom blends, and estimate print costs based on material usage.
Headless Slicer Integration
Integrate with headless slicers like PrusaSlicer to slice directly from the app. Queue multiple files for batch slicing with saved profiles. No need to switch between applications.
Merge Fields for Build Plate Naming
Use dynamic merge fields like {printer}, {date}, {material}, and {profile} for automated build plate naming. Save naming templates and generate consistent, descriptive names instantly.
Smart File Naming
Intelligently clean up file names on import by removing redundant directory structures (e.g., "File/Supported/Supported-Body.stl" becomes "Body.stl"). Configurable rules for stripping common prefixes, suffixes, and nested duplications.
Community-Driven Printer & Resin Templates
Contribute and download printer/resin templates shared by the community. Browse verified configurations from other users and submit your own custom printer profiles for others to use.
WiFi Printer Integration
Connect to WiFi-enabled printers for real-time monitoring and trigger prints right from the application. View print progress, temperatures, and status directly in the app. Support for popular printer firmware and management systems.
Official Printer Thumbnails
Right now I can't include thumbnails for printer templates because of copyright. I'm reaching out to each company for permission and media kits so they can be included by default.
In-App Sharing Between Users
Share files directly between 3D Print Manager users within the app. Send models, collections, or entire project folders to other users.
Duplicate Build Plates
Quickly duplicate an existing build plate to reprint or iterate on a layout. Copies all file assignments, settings, and arrangement so you can get back to printing faster.
