Printago alternative

Looking for a Printago alternative?

Printago is good at running a farm of printers. Layers3D runs the printers too, and also does the part before and after: the quote, the order, the box label and the invoice.

Questions

Switching, the short answers.

Does Layers3D work with Bambu Lab printers?

Yes. Bambu printers show live on Fleet, and the print queue sends jobs to them through the Layers3D agent on a computer at your shop. The queue needs LAN Only and Developer Mode turned on.

Is the Layers3D print queue ready?

It is in beta. It slices, matches the loaded colour and starts the next job on a free printer, and we turn it on one shop at a time. See how it works.

Can I bring my customers and orders over?

Yes. Settings › Data imports customers and past orders from a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel), and you can undo an import if it comes out wrong.

How much does Layers3D cost?

Plans are CA$39, CA$149 and CA$449 a month, with a 14-day free trial. Founding Shops get 20% off any plan for their first year, so Professional is CA$119.20 a month. See the pricing page.
