Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet
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 Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet as a virtual printer
- 1 Install the Fuse bridge on Windows, macOS, or Docker.
- 2 In Fuse, click Add Printer and search for the BigFoot 500 Modular pellet. 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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet yourself. The virtual printer runs for the estimated print time, or click Finish now when the real print comes off the bed.

The Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet is a dual-extruder pellet-fed 3D printer with a 500 × 500 × 500 mm build volume. Printago can't control the BigFoot 500 Modular pellet 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 Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet 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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet 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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet is planned. Until it lands, the virtual printer keeps it in Printago.
Frequently asked questions
Does Printago work with the Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet?
Yes, as a virtual printer. Printago can't send prints to the Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet 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 Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet directly?
Printago doesn't have an integration for the Tumaker BigFoot 500 Modular pellet'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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet in your queue and your records.
What does a virtual printer do in Printago?
It stands in for the BigFoot 500 Modular pellet. 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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet?
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 BigFoot 500 Modular pellet, so it can't be downloaded. Prepare and start the real print in the printer's own software.
