To cancel a queue of documents sent to the printer, click 'Hardware and sound' in the control panel of the computer. In devices, select your printer based on its name or marking of the model.
Open the menu you use the printer, was sent to the queue print documents. Depending on the printer model, the print will either be fully stopped, even with the completion of the current task or at the end of printing.
Use the quick view the print queue by pressing the icon with the printer, which should appear on the taskbar in the notification area. You can also just drag a shortcut to the quick access toolbar or on your desktop by drag and drop.
  • The sequential printing feature allows to print one complete object at time in a single print job. Cool cooling strategies. A very smart cooling logic will regulate your fan speed and print speed to ensure each layer has enough time to cool down before next one is laid on it. Manage multiple printers, filaments and build styles.
  • Ultimaker Cura - versatile 3D Printer Software. Ultimaker Cura 3D is a slicing software for 3D.

Solid modeling: Yes. Intended for: Beginners. What makes it special. To all those beginners who are skeptical about the choice of CAD software, here.

To do this, click on it with the left mouse button and holding it, place it in a convenient menu. Next time you don't have to dig into the settings of the control panel to cancel the print queue.
If you need to cancel queue printing to a network printer in your LAN, make sure it is properly setup. Select the model of the device and likewise clear the queue print documents.
Also software that is installed on the selected print device can contain a special utility that runs when the printer is in the background, use it to clear the queue print or make changes at their own discretion. Usually they can be accessed from the system tray in the lower right corner of the taskbar of the operating system.
If you cannot stop the queue to print through computer, try to find on the printer Stop button (may also appear as the appropriate button controlling the media player) and click on it, and then restart the system and try to clear the list again.
At the end of the computer, remove the printer queue.

Our all-in-one platform gives you everything you need to increase the productivity of your 3D printer farm and scale your business.

3d Printer Interface Software

Get organized

Securely save all your files in a central location and access them from anywhere. Review your Print History, view all the slices you've made, reprint, assign files to queues. Admins can create shared file folders that allow groups to share design, print files and even add notes.

Monitor your printer farm

Check the status of all your printers from one interface. Set time-lapses and monitor your prints via live video. You can even cancel prints remotely if they are failing.

Schedule your print jobs

With the Printer Queues app you can get all of your objects ready to print and assign them to the next available printer. Admins can create Group Queues which allow users to send files to a shared queue. Once in the shared queue, admins can manage the printing process.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. You will need one AstroBox for each 3D Printer in your fleet. Attempting to run multiple 3D Printers off of a single AstroBox (i.e. Raspberry Pi Board) would likely result in failed prints due to hardware limitations of the board. (For example, GCODE stuttering.) At minimum, video streaming would be seriously affected.

The AstroPrint platform is built with a modular Cloud Slicing system. This means that slicing jobs will be routed through the Slicing Engine you recommend for your printer(s).
Currently, we can route slicing jobs through:

  • Cura Engine - We work hard to have the most up to date version possible of Cura Engine in the AstroPrint cloud. You (and your customers) can set and tweak every setting available in Cura.
  • Slic3r, Prusa Edition - The Prusa Edition of Slic3r is by far the widest used at the moment, which is why we have it as an option. When choosing 'Slic3r' as an option in AstroPrint, you are choosing the Prusa Edition of Slic3r.
  • Others - Almost any slicing engine can be integrated into AstroPrint. We'll consider adding more slicing engines as new engines hit widespread usage.

3d Printer Queue Software

For technical reasons, each 3D Printer you connect to the AstroPrint platform will need to have an AstroBox connected to the printer. This is what allows the printer's data/images/status/etc to be accessible through your AstroPrint account (via web portal, mobile app, desktop software, etc). At first, it may seem like this would be very expensive, but there are ways to do this efficiently and cheaply.
You have two options for hardware. The AstroBox Touch (ABT) or the AstroBox Gateway (ABG). For each of these, you can purchase plug and play units from our store, or you can download the software and make your own (you source your own hardware components).

3d Printer Queue Software Tool

  • AstroBox Touch (ABT) - Purchase - The ABT is by far the preference of most users. The unit includes a touchscreen which increases the functionality of the AstroBox dramatically. Most 3D Printer Farms simply purchase AstroBox Touch units directly from AstroPrint. Currently they retail for $199, however we offer bulk purchase discounts for 3D Printer Farms. Please reach out to us for bulk pricing info. :-)
  • AstroBox Touch (ABT) - DIY - For a lower cost option, you can download the ABT software ($40/unit, bulk discounts are available), then source your own RPis, touchscreens, power adapters, and enclosures (or just print your enclosures). This will run you $80 to $100 per unit total. You will need to source your own hardware, flash software, assemble units, etc.
  • AstroBox Gateway (ABG) - The ABG provides the same networking functionality of the AstroBox Touch, but without a screen. This actually makes it much more technical to set up and maintain. Retail kits are $99. For a DIY version, you can download the software for free and source your own RPi, power adapter, and wifi dongle. This means you could make one of these for ~$60.
  • Honorable Mention - OctoPrint Plugin You can also use AstroPrint's OctoPrint Plugin. The hardware cost is identical to using the AstroBox Gateway. Basically, you can use OctoPrint on your own RPis, with the AstroPrint Plugin installed. We do not charge for the plugin. This plugin will connect your OctoPrint box to the AstroPrint Cloud.
    Please note: Due to limitations in OctoPrint there are some features that will likely never be available, such as out-of-network video streaming. Also, updates and bug fixes are released for AstroBox software before they are released for the OctoPrint plugin.
