Print BuddyPrepare and manage 3D prints from Discord

Share a MakerWorld or Printables link, or upload an STL or 3MF — Print Buddy guides you through preparation, filament choices and slicing, with an explicit confirmation before anything starts printing.

Get Started

📥

Guided intake

Take a MakerWorld or Printables link, or an uploaded STL or 3MF, through guided choices for colours, fit and supported layouts.

✂️

Slicing built in

Slice with OrcaSlicer, or Bambu Studio for Bambu Lab printers, using the correct printer, process and filament profiles.

🧵

Spoolman filament matching

Match loaded spools from Spoolman and keep spool identity, material and colour information consistent from intake to print.

✅

Confirmation before printing

Nothing prints on its own. Confirm bed clearance and approve the exact sliced job before Print Buddy submits it to the printer.

📷

Camera watch & timelapses

While a print runs, the camera watchdog checks frames for spaghetti and other failures and posts an alert with Pause and It's fine buttons, alongside printer events and timelapses.
