How to create an Industrial (Virtual) 3D Printer in 3DPrinterOS

Step 1: Go to the Printers Page

Step 2: Open the Create Menu

Click the three dots located to the right of the "Add Printer" button.

From the dropdown menu, select:

"Create Industrial Printer"

Step 3: Configure the Virtual Printer

  1. Choose a printer model from the dropdown list.

  2. Assign a host to the virtual machine.

  3. Set a name for the printer.

Step 4: Create the Printer

Once all fields are filled out, click Add.

That’s it. Your Industrial (Virtual) 3D Printer is now ready to use.

Virtual printers cannot currently receive sliced Formlabs files. Because each Formlabs slice is bound to the single physical printer it was sliced for, it cannot be sent to or queued on a virtual printer. See How to connect Formlabs 3D printers to 3DPrinterOS for details.
