3D Print Order Management Dashboard

Every order flows through a clear pipeline: New → In Progress → All Printed → Post-Processing → Packing → Shipped. Add plates to each order, assign them to printers, and track progress automatically. When every plate is done, the order advances itself. No manual status updates. No forgetting where you are.

Drag plates into the order you want them printed, log failed prints with a reason so you can see what they cost you, and raise quotes and invoices straight from an order.

Your dashboard shows every printer in your farm with its current status – idle, printing, or needs emptied. Live progress bars show estimated completion, and queued plates line up ready to go. Resin plates get their own wash, dry and cure stages, so nothing gets forgotten after the print finishes.

The Farm Timeline looks further ahead. It projects every printer’s queue forward around the hours you’re actually in the workshop, so you can see when plates will really finish, and drag to reprioritise when plans change.

Track every spool of filament and every bottle of resin individually. See remaining amounts at a glance with colour-coded bars. Get low stock alerts before you run dry mid-print. Plan for future material usage. Assign consumables to printer slots and PGB auto-deducts usage as plates complete – including multi-spool AMS colour prints, and rollover spools of the same colour.

Connect WooCommerce or FluentCart with our free WordPress plugin and paid orders appear in PGB automatically: customer name, line items, quantities and order value. When you mark an order shipped in Printers Go Boom, your store updates the order and your customer gets their shipping email. Selling other items alongside 3D prints on WooCommerce? Exclude categories or individual products so only printable items come through.

Running your own shop, or a platform we don’t have a plugin for? The custom store API lets any shop send signed orders straight into PGB, complete with links to product pages and files, and PGB tells your shop when each order ships.

Etsy order sync is in early access for Pro customers, with limited places while we finish testing. Get in touch if you’d like a spot.

Selling the same item every week? Save the plate setup as a template: names, print times, materials, weights, everything captured. Next time that order comes in, hit Apply Template and all the plates are created instantly, with links to your 3MF files so you don’t have to hunt them down. Add SKUs to your templates and PGB will suggest the right one when a matching store order arrives.

Starting from scratch? Drop in a sliced Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer project and PGB creates a plate for every bed, with print times, filament weights and thumbnails already filled in. You don’t upload anything to us, it’s all done in your browser.

Build your product catalogue in PGB, with variants for every size, colour and finish. The pricing calculator works out what each item really costs you (filament, electricity, your time and an allowance for failed prints) and shows your margin at whatever price you set. It keeps a price history too, so you can see what changed and when. The plate calculator does the maths for a full bed of one item: what the plate costs to print, what it sells for, and what you actually make.

Need listing copy? Add your own Claude API key and PGB drafts product descriptions for each sales channel from your product details and photo. Create entire product pages for pennies.

On Pro, your catalogue syncs both ways with FluentCart and WooCommerce: pull your products in, then push updated prices and descriptions back to your store.

We’re building team accounts next. Set up your manager account, then give each team member access to the part of the workflow that fits their role. You’ll get a central view of everything happening across the farm, plus Slack notifications and reporting set up to suit your operation.
