Hi All,

Anyone have experience with a web-based print management solution? Especially one that can route prints to different machines (ie. Prusa and Makerbots).

Thanks!!

Kim

PS. We got new Prusa MK4s and they have been AMAZING. So much faster than the MK3s.

Have you tried Octoprint? Open source, free.

Second for octoprint. It's a game changer and you can fully customize to your printers.

One of our LinkedIn Learning courses has a tutorial. https://www.linkedin.com/learning/additive-manufacturing-optimizing-3d-prints-2/octoprint

(There's a one-month free trial if your school or library doesn't have access.)

Prusa has Prusalink which is somewhat redundant with octoprint. MK4's come with it.

I would suggest looking in to that.

If it is to your liking, you can add prusalink to MK3's with a raspberry pi Zero and an Ethernet adapter or a Zero W for wireless. You can also use a Zero W2, which has much higher performance but I don't know if that is significant for this application.

The Prusa Mini+ can also be used via PrusaLink out of the box using ethernet.
