What it does

Plug it in. Your whole fleet shows up.

No local server humming in the corner, no firewall rules, no per-printer fiddling. The hub does one job exceptionally well: get your printers talking to the cloud, safely, over your own network.

Up to 5 printers per hub

One hub bridges as many as five printers to the cloud at once. Running a bigger floor? Add another hub and keep going.

Your network, not the open internet

It talks to your printers over your own Wi-Fi — no port forwarding, nothing exposed, no SD-card shuffle. Jobs start locally, not via a round trip across the world.

Bambu, Prusa, and Klipper

It speaks each printer’s native language — Bambu MQTT/FTP, PrusaLink, Klipper/Moonraker. Mixed fleet? One hub still handles it.

Keeps printing if the cloud blinks

A job already running lives on the printer. Lose Wi-Fi or the cloud and it keeps going — status and the queue catch up the moment you reconnect.

Setup

Online in minutes, not an afternoon.

No slicer plugins, no SD cards, no cable to a laptop. Three steps from a sealed box to a live fleet.

  1. 01

    Power it on

    Plug the hub into any USB-C port — a charger, a printer, a spare brick. One light and it’s awake.

  2. 02

    Pair in your browser

    Open AutoPrintFarm, connect to the hub over Bluetooth, and hand it your Wi-Fi network. No app install — works in Chrome or Edge.

  3. 03

    Find your printers

    The hub scans your network, your printers appear, you confirm them. Several online in about five minutes.

In the box

One hub. Bring any USB-C power source, and your Wi-Fi password.

That’s the whole kit. No dongles, no gateway box, no second subscription. The hub is a one-time piece of hardware — $9 on Free, or free and shipped to you on Pro.

Hub questions

The hub questions we actually get.

Don’t see yours? Email nate@autoprintfarm.com — a real person reads every message.

Do I really need the hub?

Yes — the hub is what connects your printers to AutoPrintFarm. It bridges them to the cloud over your local network so you can monitor, queue, and dispatch jobs without slicer plugins, SD cards, or port forwarding. One hub covers up to five printers.

What does it cost?

On the Free plan the hub is a one-time $9 (plus shipping). On Pro, it’s included — we ship one to you free when you subscribe. Either way it’s a one-time piece of hardware, not a recurring charge.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship the hub within the United States and Canada. More regions are coming — if you’re elsewhere, email nate@autoprintfarm.com and we’ll let you know when we reach you.

How many printers can one hub handle?

Up to five. If you run more than that, just add another hub — they each connect their own printers to the same workspace, so your whole floor still lives in one place.

What if my Wi-Fi or the internet goes down?

Any print already running keeps going — the job lives on the printer, not the hub. You temporarily lose live monitoring and the ability to dispatch new jobs, and everything catches up automatically when the connection returns.

Can I set it up later?

Absolutely. Plenty of people sign up first, add their print files, products, and inventory, and order the hub when they’re ready. Nothing about setup is locked behind having the hardware in hand.

Ready when your farm is

Turn a busy garage into a shop that runs itself.

One place for your printers, your orders, and your team — and it keeps running long after you’ve closed the laptop.
