Markforged Metal X
Printago can't control this printer directly. Add it in Fuse as a virtual printer to queue jobs, track material, and keep its job history in Printago while you start each print on the machine. Direct support is planned.

How to add the Markforged Metal X as a virtual printer
- 1 Install the Fuse bridge on Windows, macOS, or Docker.
- 2 In Fuse, click Add Printer and search for the Metal X. Virtual-only models are listed while Show virtual-only printers is checked, which it is by default.
- 3 Sync the new printer to your Printago account. It shows up on the Printers page with a Virtual badge.
- 4 When Printago assigns it a job, start that print on the Metal X yourself. The virtual printer runs for the estimated print time, or click Finish now when the real print comes off the bed.

The Markforged Metal X is a dual-extruder 3D printer with a 300 × 220 × 180 mm build volume. Printago can't control the Metal X directly. Direct support is planned. 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.
Keep the Markforged Metal X 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 Metal X 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.
Direct support for the Metal X is planned. Until it lands, the virtual printer keeps it in Printago.
Frequently asked questions
Does Printago work with the Markforged Metal X?
Yes, as a virtual printer. Printago can't send prints to the Markforged Metal X 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 Markforged Metal X directly?
Printago doesn't have an integration for the Markforged Metal X's control protocol yet, so it can't start, pause, or watch its prints. Direct support is planned. Until it lands, a virtual printer keeps the Metal X in your queue and your records.
What does a virtual printer do in Printago?
It stands in for the Metal X. 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 Metal X?
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 Metal X, so it can't be downloaded. Prepare and start the real print in the printer's own software.
