Getting your fleet into AutoPrintFarm takes one small Wi-Fi hub and about five minutes. There are no slicer plugins to install, no SD cards to shuffle, and no port forwarding to configure. Here’s the whole process.
What you’ll need
- An AutoPrintFarm hub (a small Wi-Fi device that links your printers to the cloud over your own local network).
- Your printers powered on and connected to the same network.
- A free AutoPrintFarm account — sign up here if you haven’t yet.
Step 1 — Plug in the hub
Power the hub and connect it to your Wi-Fi. It pairs to your account with a short code from the dashboard. Once it’s online, it starts discovering printers on your local network automatically.
Step 2 — Confirm your printers
Discovered printers appear in the dashboard within a minute or two. Confirm each one and, for Bambu Lab and PrusaLink printers, enter the access code so the hub can talk to it directly. Klipper printers connect over Moonraker.
Step 3 — Watch them go live
That’s it. Each printer shows live status, temperatures, and current job. From here you can route jobs from the queue, monitor every print, and get a push alert the moment one fails.
What if my internet drops?
Any print already running keeps going — the job lives on the printer itself, so a dropped connection won’t pause or ruin it. When the hub reconnects, live status and the queue catch right back up.
Next, connect your storefront so orders flow straight into the queue — see the Etsy and Shopify integration pages, or read more about how the whole system fits together.
