  1. 1
    Install the Fuse bridge on Windows, macOS, or Docker.
  2. 2
    In Fuse, click Add Printer and search for the INDUSTRY F421. Virtual-only models are listed while Show virtual-only printers is checked, which it is by default.

The 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 is a dual-extruder 3D printer with a 380 × 380 × 420 mm build volume and a chamber that reaches 195 °C. Printago can't control the INDUSTRY F421 directly. Add it in Fuse as a virtual printer and it runs through Printago like the rest of your farm: jobs queue and route to it, material use is tracked, and every print lands in the job history. You start each print on the machine yourself.

Virtual

Keep the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 in your queue and your records

A machine Printago can't control usually ends up on a spreadsheet, outside the queue and the material counts. Add the INDUSTRY F421 in Fuse as a virtual printer instead. Printago routes jobs to it, tracks the material each one uses, and keeps its job history next to the rest of your farm. You start each print on the machine; the virtual printer runs for the estimated print time, or you click Finish now when the part comes off the bed.

Frequently asked questions

Does Printago work with the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421?

Yes, as a virtual printer. Printago can't send prints to the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 directly, but you can add it in Fuse as a virtual printer. It then takes jobs from your queue, tracks material, and keeps a job history alongside the rest of your farm. You start each print on the machine yourself.

Why can't Printago control the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421 directly?

Printago doesn't have an integration for the 3DGence INDUSTRY F421's control protocol, so it can't start, pause, or watch its prints. A virtual printer keeps the INDUSTRY F421 in your queue and your records anyway.

What does a virtual printer do in Printago?

It stands in for the INDUSTRY F421. Jobs queue and route to it like any other printer, it runs each job for the estimated print time (or until you click Finish now), and the job's material use and history are recorded. You can set it to run in real time, 2×, 5×, or 10×, or to fast-forward, from the printer's Settings tab.

Can I download the G-code Printago slices for the INDUSTRY F421?

No. Printago slices virtual-printer jobs with a generic profile only to estimate print time and material use. That file isn't made for the INDUSTRY F421, so it can't be downloaded. Prepare and start the real print in the printer's own software.
