For Print Farms

Run your farm like a manufacturing business.

MakerCommand gives print farms the infrastructure they need to quote accurately, manage production, ship efficiently, and get paid — without stitching together five different tools.

Most print farms are running on improvised infrastructure.

Spreadsheets for pricing. Email threads for orders. Bank transfers for payment. It works — until it doesn't. The moment you scale, the cracks show.

Quoting takes too long

Manually calculating filament weight, time, and markup for every job. One mistake and you're losing money on the order.

Production is invisible

Jobs live in a mental queue or a sticky note. There's no way to see what's printing, what's waiting, or what's ready to go out.

Customers are in the dark

No tracking link. No status update. Customers chase you for updates, and you spend time answering the same question over and over.

The full workflow

From enquiry to delivered — one system.

Every order follows the same structured path. No gaps, no manual handoffs, no chasing customers for files.

Print Farm Workflow
End-to-end, every order, every time.
01
Upload Customer submits an STL or 3MF file through your branded public page — no account needed.
02
Quote MakerCommand generates an accurate quote based on your materials, printer profiles, and markup settings.
03
Payment Customer pays via Stripe. Funds hit your account. Order lands in your production queue automatically.
04
Production Move orders through queued → printing → post-processing → ready to ship. Status updates trigger customer emails automatically.
05
Ship Generate a Royal Mail or Sendcloud label inside the dashboard. Tracking syncs to the customer's live order page.
Production at scale

A production floor, not a to-do list.

When you're running multiple printers and dozens of concurrent orders, you need structure — not a spreadsheet you've outgrown.

Unified job queue

All active orders in one dashboard. Assign jobs to printers, reprioritise without losing context, and always know what's next.

Granular status stages

Five production stages between payment and shipping: Queued, Printing, Post-processing, Ready to ship, Label generated. Move orders with one click.

Automated customer updates

Every status change triggers a branded email to your customer. They're always informed — you're never interrupted with "where's my order?"

Pricing intelligence

Accurate quotes start with accurate costs.

Vague pricing means lost margin. MakerCommand builds quotes from real cost inputs — material, time, and profile — so every number is defensible.

How quoting works

Per-material costs

Set cost per gram and markup for every filament. PLA, PETG, TPU - priced independently.

Print time pricing

Factor machine time into every quote. Long prints cost more — and your pricing reflects that automatically.

Bambu Lab integration

Connect your Bambu printers directly. Job status flows into MakerCommand without manual updates.

Customer experience

Look like a business, not a hobbyist.

Your customers interact with your brand, not ours. Every touchpoint — from upload to tracking — carries your identity.

Your branded upload page

Share makercommand.com/yourfarm/upload — or connect a custom domain. Customers upload files and get quotes without any MakerCommand branding.

Automated status emails

Customers receive a branded email the moment their order status changes. Confirmation, production updates, dispatch notification — all automatic.

Live tracking page

Every order gets a shareable tracking link. Customers see real-time status and carrier tracking — without logging into anything.

Shipping

Labels without leaving the dashboard.

No copy-pasting addresses into carrier portals. Shipping is built into the workflow — label generation, dispatch notification, and tracking in one step.

Shipping Workflow
Royal Mail & Sendcloud — both supported.
01
Ready to ship Mark the order ready. Customer address and order details are already in the system.
02
Generate label One click creates a Royal Mail or Sendcloud label. Download the PDF directly from the order view.
03
Mark shipped Dispatch the parcel and mark it shipped. A confirmation email goes to the customer automatically.
04
Live tracking Carrier tracking syncs to the customer's order page. They follow the parcel — you field zero calls.
Revenue visibility

Know your numbers without asking twice.

The admin dashboard surfaces the metrics that matter for a print farm: what's open, what's been paid, what you're shipping this week. No spreadsheet required.

For farms running B2B accounts, settlement batches and payout records keep your books clean — with invoice PDFs generated automatically.

£

Why MakerCommand

Built for farms. Not retrofitted.

Designed around how farms work

MakerCommand isn't a project management tool with printing bolted on. Every feature — from material pricing to production stages to settlement batches — was designed for the reality of running a print farm.

Browser-based, no local install

Nothing to install, nothing to maintain. MakerCommand runs entirely in the browser. Your dashboard is available from any machine, whether you're at the farm or checking in from your phone.

Grows with your farm

Start free with the core workflow. As your volume grows, unlock branded domains, custom logos, Bambu integrations, and B2B client accounts. The plan scales — you keep the same system.

Your farm runs on skill.
Your software should match.

MakerCommand gives you the infrastructure to run your print farm like the business it is — without the overhead of enterprise software.

No credit card required.
