  1. 1
    Install the Fuse bridge on Windows, macOS, or Docker.
  2. 2
    In Fuse, click Add Printer and search for the Freeformer 300-3X. Virtual-only models are listed while Show virtual-only printers is checked, which it is by default.
  3. 3
    Sync the new printer to your Printago account. It shows up on the Printers page with a Virtual badge.

The Arburg Freeformer 300-3X is a triple-extruder pellet-fed 3D printer with a 234 × 134 × 230 mm build volume and a chamber that reaches 200 °C. Printago can't control the Freeformer 300-3X 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 Arburg Freeformer 300-3X 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 Freeformer 300-3X 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 Arburg Freeformer 300-3X?

Yes, as a virtual printer. Printago can't send prints to the Arburg Freeformer 300-3X 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 Arburg Freeformer 300-3X directly?

Printago doesn't have an integration for the Arburg Freeformer 300-3X's control protocol, so it can't start, pause, or watch its prints. A virtual printer keeps the Freeformer 300-3X in your queue and your records anyway.

What does a virtual printer do in Printago?

It stands in for the Freeformer 300-3X. 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 Freeformer 300-3X?

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 Freeformer 300-3X, so it can't be downloaded. Prepare and start the real print in the printer's own software.
