Manuflo + OctoPrint
Direct API integration
OctoPrint runs the printer. Manuflo runs the order around it. We talk to OctoPrint over its REST API: queue jobs, read live status, sync print hours back to the order.
What OctoPrint does (keep using it)
- Per-printer host control over USB or Pi
- Plugin ecosystem (OctoLapse, Spaghetti Detective, etc.)
- Webcam streaming, gcode terminal, manual controls
- Local file storage and slicer integration
- Klipper bridge via OctoKlipper
What Manuflo does (adds the business layer)
- Reads OctoPrint API key once, syncs job state automatically
- Auto-attaches print hours, filament weight, completion time to the order
- Live "printing / paused / failed" status in the Manuflo dashboard
- Customer quote, deposit, and shipping label for the same job
- Multi-printer rollup view across your whole fleet
Manuflo + Bambu Studio
Cloud + LAN
Bambu Studio is your slicer. The Bambu Cloud and LAN APIs are how Manuflo reads what your X1, P1, A1 fleet is doing. We don't replace Bambu Studio. We don't try to slice for you. We pull live MQTT telemetry and AMS data so the order side stays accurate.
What Bambu Studio does (keep using it)
- Slice 3MF / STL with Bambu profiles
- Send jobs to your printer over LAN or cloud
- AMS color and material assignment
- Print preview and gcode optimization
What Manuflo does (adds the business layer)
- Reads slicer output (weight, time, length) from 3MF for accurate quoting
- Live MQTT telemetry: printing, idle, failed, paused, hotend temp
- AMS slot tracking synced to your material inventory
- Customer order, deposit, invoice, and shipping wrapped around each Bambu job
Manuflo + Klipper
Moonraker API
Klipper is the firmware. Moonraker is the API around it. Manuflo talks to Moonraker, so any Klipper printer (Voron, Ratrig, Sovol with Klipper, retrofitted Ender) shows up in your dashboard alongside your Bambus and Prusas.
What Klipper / Moonraker does (keep using it)
- High-speed motion planning, input shaping, pressure advance
- Macros, custom kinematics, tool changers
- Mainsail or Fluidd as your local UI
- Per-printer configuration and tuning
What Manuflo does (adds the business layer)
- Polls Moonraker for live job state, layer, ETA
- Auto-syncs print hours and filament use back to the order
- One dashboard across mixed Klipper + Bambu + Prusa fleet
- Customer quote, payment, shipping label for every job
Manuflo + Mainsail / Fluidd
Sit alongside, not on top
Mainsail and Fluidd are the web UIs you use to drive a Klipper printer. Manuflo doesn't try to replace them. Keep Mainsail open for tuning, macros, and webcam. Open Manuflo for orders, quotes, and payments.
What Mainsail / Fluidd does (keep using it)
- Local printer control: jog, home, heat, calibrate
- Macro buttons, console, gcode preview
- Webcam viewer and timelapse plugin
- File upload to the printer
What Manuflo does (adds the business layer)
- Customer-facing order intake and quotes
- Stripe deposit and invoice on the same order
- Multi-printer fleet view across all your shops
- Shipping labels, tracking emails, customer CRM
