3DPrinterOS vs Prusa Connect

The Prusa Connect Alternative for Every Printer Brand

Prusa Connect is made for Prusa printers. If your lab also runs Bambu Lab, Ultimaker, Creality or other brands, 3DPrinterOS manages them all in one cloud dashboard, with users, queues, analytics and security on top.

Your Prusa printers work with 3DPrinterOS too, alongside 200+ other models.
