Alternatives to 3DPrinterOS
Cloud platform for managing printers, files and users across a fleet of 3D printers. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original
3DPrinterOS
Cloud platform for managing printers, files and users across a fleet of 3D printers.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as 3DPrinterOS.
SimplyPrint
A cloud platform for slicing, monitoring, queueing and managing one or many 3D printers.
SimplyPrint also manages printer fleets from the cloud, adds a browser slicer and mobile apps, and has a free tier, with advanced fleet and school features costing extra.
AstroPrint
A cloud platform for storing 3D models, slicing online and monitoring 3D printers remotely.
AstroPrint is another paid cloud service for schools and print farms, adding browser-based slicing, shared print queues and an OctoPrint plugin connection, and it still needs an internet connection.
FDM Monster
A self-hosted dashboard for managing a farm of 3D printers running OctoPrint, Moonraker, PrusaLink or Bambu Lab firmware.
FDM Monster is free and self-hosted on your own network instead of in the cloud, managing OctoPrint, Moonraker, PrusaLink and Bambu Lab printers, but it needs a server and setup.
Repetier-Server
A self-hosted server for controlling and monitoring several 3D printers from a web browser.
Repetier-Server runs several printers from one local self-hosted installation without a subscription, adds webcams with timelapse and G-code previews, and keeps some features in a paid Pro version.
Prusa Connect
Prusa Research's cloud service for monitoring, queuing and controlling Prusa 3D printers remotely from a browser.
Prusa Connect is a free cloud service that manages several printers and spreads jobs between them, but it only works with supported Prusa printers and requires an account.
Obico
Open-source platform for monitoring and controlling 3D printers remotely, with AI print failure detection.
Obico is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted, focusing on remote monitoring and AI failure detection rather than managing users across an organisation's fleet.
Also worth comparing
These listings name 3DPrinterOS as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
OctoEverywhere
A cloud service giving remote access, AI failure detection and notifications for home 3D printers.
3DPrinterOS is a paid cloud platform focused on managing fleets of printers and users for universities and companies, rather than remote access to one home printer.
