About
3D Printer Manager is a strategic idle management game that takes you into the addictive world of 3D printing. Start your journey as a hobbyist in your bedroom with a single, noisy printer and a dream. Your goal? To build the ultimate 3D printing empire.
Manage your fleet of machines, optimize your filament supply, and fulfill customer orders to fund your expansion. As you grow, you'll move from a cramped bedroom to a garage, an office, and finally a factory. Whether you're a 3D printing enthusiast or a fan of tycoon games, 3D Printer Manager offers a satisfying blend of strategy, progression, and idle mechanics.
Key Features
Build Your Fleet: Purchase and manage distinct printer types including reliable Cartesian workhorses, lightning-fast CoreXY machines, and tall Delta towers. Each comes with its own speed, cost, and reliability trade-offs.
Master Materials: It’s not just about plastic. Work your way up from basic PLA to advanced materials like ABS, TPU, Nylon, and premium Carbon Fiber. Each filament type commands a different market price and requires careful management.
Deep Upgrade System: Fine-tune your machines for peak performance. Install Klipper firmware to boost speed, improve durability to reduce breakdowns, and upgrade efficiency to cut material costs.
Expand Your Empire: Outgrow your space? Move your operation from a humble Bedroom (4 slots) to a Garage, Office, and eventually a high-tech Factory capable of housing dozens of machines.
Automate & Optimize: You can't click forever. Hire staff ranging from Rookies to Veteran Operators to keep your farm running 24/7. They'll handle print jobs, perform repairs, and prioritize high-value orders while you sit back and watch the profits roll in.
Fulfill Orders: Take on contracts for specific prints, from the classic "Benchy" to complex "Articulated Dragons." Balancing bulk orders with daily production is key to maximizing your reputation and income.

This game was easy to follow along with, I was able to understand the mechanics easily. There is just enough automation that makes it easy to step back, but the 'Order' system was a plus. It is still only in Early Access but I felt thoroughly pleased by the game so far!
fun for about 50 hours.
Nice grind game, some achivments would be cool in steam
