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.

Dashboard Full view showing busy printers with thumbnails, progress bars, temperatures, and ready printers

Dashboard Toolbar

The controls at the top of the dashboard let you tailor the view to your farm:

  • Sort and Filter - The control at the top left (e.g., Sort: Status, Filter: None) lets you change how printer cards are ordered and which printers are shown.
  • View toggle - Switch between Full, Compact, and Cameras views using the buttons at the top right (see Dashboard Views below).
  • Completed job counter - The trophy counter at the top right shows your store's total completed print jobs.

Dashboard Views

Full View

The default view. Each printer card shows the current job thumbnail, part name, nozzle and bed temperatures, pause/stop buttons, progress percentage, layer progress, and time remaining.

Compact View

A condensed grid that fits more printers on screen. Each tile shows the job thumbnail with the estimated completion time, or a simple status (Ready, Not Ready, Error) for printers that aren't printing.

Cameras View

A wall of live camera snapshots from your printers, with printer name and temperatures overlaid on each tile. Printers without an available camera feed show No Preview.

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
  • Pause/Stop buttons - Pause or stop the active print right from the card

Status Indicators

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

ERROR🔴 RedReporting an error (such as an HMS issue)

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)
