Dashboard

The Printago Dashboard is your central hub for monitoring and managing all connected 3D printers. It provides real-time status updates, job progress tracking, and quick access to printer controls.

Printer Cards​

Each connected printer is displayed as an individual card on the dashboard, providing a comprehensive view of its current status and active jobs.

Card Information Display​

  • Printer thumbnail - Visual preview of the current print job
  • Job progress - Percentage completion of the active print
  • Time remaining - Estimated time until job completion
  • Layer progress - Current layer / total layers (e.g., "45/120")
  • Temperature readings - Current nozzle and bed temperatures

Status Indicators​

The colored border at the top of each printer card indicates the current printer status:

StatusColorDescription

WAITING🟣 PurpleConnected but waiting for a job
READY🔵 BlueConnected and ready to print
NEEDS CONFIG🟡 YellowMissing slicing configuration.
OFFLINE⚪ GrayDisconnected from the network
STALE⚪ GrayHasn't reported status recently
DISABLED⚪ GrayHas been manually disabled

Job Monitoring​

The dashboard displays the status of all jobs currently running on your printers, regardless of their source:

The dashboard shows jobs started from any source, including:

  • Printago
  • External slicers (Orca Slicer, Bambu Studio)
  • Bambu Handy app
  • SD card prints
tip

This differs from the In-Progress tab in the Print Queue, which only shows jobs initiated through Printago.

Dashboard Actions​

The dashboard provides quick access to several important features:

  • Set Clear & Ready - After a job completes, the status indicator will switch to a button labeled Set Ready
  • Quick-Set Printer Temps - Click the temps to set them without needing to open the control panel.
  • Printer Control Panel - Access the Printer Control Panel via the game controller icon
  • Printer Slicer Settings - Access printer-specific settings via the gear icon
  • Part Navigation - View part details by clicking on the part name or thumbnail (Printago jobs only)
