Fleet Command - Printer Fleet Control

Bulk Actions Across Your Fleet

Select multiple printers using checkboxes, then access powerful bulk operations through the Actions menu. Set multiple printers as Clear and Ready with one click, skipping any that are currently printing. Enable or disable FabMatic continuous printing across selected machines. Open multi-printer control panels for simultaneous calibration and maintenance. Apply slicer configurations to all printers of the same model instantly.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Speed

Work faster with production-focused shortcuts. Press A to toggle select all printers. Press G to automatically select all printers matching the first selected model and nozzle. Press R to mark selected printers ready. Press U to set printers as not ready. Press P for control panel access. Press C for configuration. Press M for materials management. Press T to edit tags across multiple printers.

Smart Printer Tags

Create dynamic printer groups with user-defined tags. Organize by physical location like SHELF1 or DESK4. Group by capability with tags like PEI_BED or HIGH_DETAIL. Assign by purpose using CUSTOMER_ORDERS or PROTOTYPES. Tags work in real-time - add or remove tags while jobs are queued and Printago automatically adjusts routing. Jobs wait for printers with matching tags to become available.

Multi-Printer Configuration

Configure multiple printers simultaneously through the bulk configuration dialog. Set machine profiles and process profiles for entire printer groups. Apply settings to all printers of the same model with Save to All Similar Printers. Perfect for standardizing settings after adding new filaments or updating profiles. Sync changes from Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer across your entire fleet.

Material Management at Scale

Bulk assign materials to multiple printers at once. Set up new filament types across your entire fleet in seconds. RFID-tagged Bambu filaments auto-detect and can be quickly added to your material library. Assign generic material types like Any PLA for maximum flexibility or specific variants for exact color matching. See all materials across all printers in one view.

Printer Control Panel

Access hardware controls for multiple printers simultaneously. Run bed leveling, vibration compensation, and motor noise cancellation across selected machines. Set temperatures, control fans, and home axes on multiple printers. Execute calibration routines during downtime. Monitor and control selected printers from one interface.

Temperature Presets

Apply quick temperature presets to multiple printers. Set bed and nozzle temperatures across your fleet for material changes. Cool down all printers at end of day. Preheat machines before starting production. Perfect for managing energy usage and maintaining consistent operating conditions.

FabMatic Fleet Management

Enable continuous printing across multiple printers with one action. Configure bed-clearing profiles for different printer models. Monitor which printers have FabMatic active. Automatically disables on HMS errors or external printer use. Bulk enable or disable based on production needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many printers can I control at once?

Fleet Command is built to handle hundreds of printers simultaneously. The control panel interface supports direct hardware control across selected printers, while bulk actions for tagging, readying, and configuration apply across your entire connected fleet at once.

Does Fleet Command work with mixed printer brands?

Fleet Command is currently optimized for Bambu Lab printers. Mixed-brand fleet support is on the roadmap. If you run a multi-brand farm, reach out to share your setup so we can prioritize accordingly.

Can different team members have different access levels?

Yes. Printago supports role-based permissions for team members. Built-in roles cover store owners, admins, operators, part managers, and viewers, so each person can get access appropriate to their work.

What keyboard shortcuts are available in Fleet Command?

The main shortcuts are: A to toggle select all, G to select all printers matching the first selected model and nozzle, R to mark selected printers ready, U to set printers as not ready, P to open the control panel, C for configuration, M for materials management, and T to edit tags.

Do I need special hardware to manage my fleet?

No additional hardware is required. Printago connects to Bambu Lab printers over your local network or through Bambu's cloud, so any computer, tablet, or phone with a browser is all you need to manage your entire fleet.
