What changed

Your machines now tell you more.

Each printer's page has a reliability card: how many prints finished and how many stopped in the last thirty days, the last stopped runs, and how far the slicer's estimates drift from the real time, with one click to take that drift as the printer's allowance. The card beside it shows hours running and standing, what the standing time cost, and the electricity a print and a month of printing drew.

A printer's card in the list marks firmware older than the newest machine of the same model in your workshop.

The Monday letter now carries your machines' week: hours printed, prints finished and stopped, filament and electricity used, and the machine that stopped most often.

Above the printers list the page points at one thing worth doing, when there is one: a machine the agent has never heard from, a fleet without a photo, or the research switch nobody turned on. Each can be closed and comes back later, less and less often.

Each language opens the calculator in its own money, Portuguese is Brazilian, and the language pickers are alphabetical.

Sign in with a passkey

You can now sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a security key instead of typing your password. Open My account, press Add passkey, confirm with your current password, and your device does the rest. Next time, press Use passkey on the sign-in page.

A passkey only works on our site, so it cannot be phished. Your password keeps working as before, so you can always fall back to it, and you can remove a passkey at any time.

LayerFlow3D now speaks five more languages: Polish, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German. Both the website and the application are translated, and each person chooses their own language in Settings - a workshop can have a team working in several at once.

Emails from the application now arrive in the language you chose.

On a phone the Queue page now opens with one row of three tiles - Order, To stock and From stock - instead of three rows of buttons, so the first orders are visible without scrolling.

The two board tools, Reset layout and Clear finished, are small named buttons above the tiles.

Nothing changed on a computer.

Low filament is now judged per filament type, not per spool. A type is low when its open spools and sealed boxes together, less what the orders in the queue will take, fall under its line. The line is 100 g until you set your own: on the Filament page press Filament types, then the bell in the row. That list now also shows what is in stock, what is queued and how long each type lasts, with the types to buy first at the top. You are told once when a type runs low.

The same list shows how far real use ran over plan in the last 30 days, from what an AMS with a scale and your own weighed recounts found.

When a printer with the telemetry agent starts a print and an order is waiting on it, you get a notification that opens Start printing for that order. If several orders are waiting on that printer, it first asks which one has started. Nothing starts on its own.

When a printer stops a print short, a notification opens the cancel prompt with the wasted filament already estimated from how far the print got. Correct the figure and cancel, or close it if you are printing the job again.

An order is now booked against the spool of its filament that is loaded in its printer, when one is linked to the trays, instead of the most used spool on the shelf.

Adding a spool from an AMS tray now takes it out of a sealed box of that filament when you have one, so the same spool is not counted twice.

A long delivery can be read from a file. In Receive stock press Template, put a quantity beside what arrived and load the file back with From CSV.

Emptying the Trash no longer gives filament back to the spools that the deleted orders had used.

You can now have a workshop of your own even if you were invited into somebody else's. Until today a person added to another shop's workspace could not open one for themselves. Now press your name at the top right, open Workspace and press Own workspace. Or use the sign-up form with the email and password of the account you already have. Your workshop starts with a free trial and its own plan, printers and team.

In your own workspace you are the Owner. In one you were invited into you are a Guest, whatever role you hold there, and the list of workspaces says which is which. When you sign in, your own workspace opens first. The ones you were invited to are in the same menu, one press away.

On a phone, every colour on the warehouse shelf now has a Write off button beside it, so you no longer have to guess that the colour itself is what you tap.

When you correct the stock of printed models or supplies, there is a new reason to choose: Already sold.

Sell a set as one item. On the storefront's Items tab, press Add and choose Set of several models: pick the models and colours that go into one set and how many of each. The set gets its own product card, price and photos, and buyers see what is in it instead of a colour choice. It is counted from its parts: print the parts to stock as usual, and the storefront shows as many sets as the scarcest part makes.

On a Mac, the telemetry agent now runs from a small LayerFlow3D app in the menu bar instead of a Terminal window. The first time it starts, macOS asks whether it may find devices on your local network: click Allow, and it reports your printers from then on and starts again at every login. To move a Mac that already runs the agent, run the install command from Workspace, Settings, Agent once more.

The warning about an unfinished storefront now shows only while your storefront is switched on. A workspace that has not opened one gets a short note it can close.

We are on Threads now too: the link is next to Telegram at the bottom of the app.

Your storefront can now sell more than what is on the shelf. Printing a buyer's own model and designing from a description appear as products with their own page, and an Order print button at the top of your storefront takes a buyer straight there - even while your shelf is still empty. A Write button lets a buyer send you a question, and it lands in your storefront inbox.

Buyers whose order was delivered can now rate your shop and leave a review, and you can answer it. Once enough buyers have rated you, the rating shows on your storefront and in the directory of shops.

An item on the storefront can open on your own product photo instead of the model's picture: replace the cover in the product card, or star any of its photos. The model keeps its picture in the workshop.

The storefront settings are now grouped into short sections - Shop, Buying and returns, Seller, Buyer requests, Shop directory, Social and messengers - with one Save that stays in reach. On the dashboard you are told what your storefront still needs before it can open, and taken straight to the field. Your tax number and registered address now sit folded under the seller's name at the bottom of the storefront.

Orders can now be deleted in any status. A deleted order goes to the Trash, where it can be restored, and the activity log records who deleted it.

Fixed: an item added to the storefront from the Items tab stayed hidden even though it was saved. It now appears on the shelf straight away. The delivery carriers in Integrations are now clearly separated from each other.

The LayerFlow3D website now speaks Ukrainian all the way through. All six guides, the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy and the comparisons with SimplyPrint, Printago and spreadsheets have Ukrainian versions, and the product screenshots on the Ukrainian page show the app in Ukrainian.

Every guide now ends with the guides worth reading next, and every free calculator lists the guides that explain it.

The comparison pages now state our own prices next to everyone else's, and the questions at the bottom of the homepage now cover paying, cancelling and what happens when you run past your monthly order limit. The feature buttons open the live demo on the screen they describe.

New notifications now appear in the corner of any page the moment they arrive, each in its own colour: a stopped printer in red, a low spool in amber, a finished print in green. They stay until you close them, and closing one, or opening what it is about, marks it read. When several arrive at once, the newest stand and the rest wait in one line. A stopped printer no longer opens a window of its own.

On a phone, the notifications open as a panel from the bottom of the screen, with a cross on every row to remove it.

Print time allowance: set how much longer your prints really take than the slicer says, for the whole workspace or for each printer. LayerFlow3D suggests the figure from your own finished prints.

AMS 2 Pro: spool weights in the warehouse now follow the scale in the AMS by themselves.

Order board: cards are compact now. The arrow at the bottom of a card opens its details.

Storefront requests: a buyer can ask for something that is not on your shelf, with their own model attached or linked, or ask you to design one. Requests arrive next to your new orders, with no price and no payment, and you answer by email. You can switch them off under Page and delivery.

Parcels: weights and sizes can be typed in pounds and inches.

The website now speaks Ukrainian: pick the language in the menu at the top. Its free calculators ask for your own filament price, hourly rate and waste, and work in any currency.

The LayerFlow3D website now speaks Ukrainian: layerflow3d.com/uk/ has the whole homepage, with the price calculator in hryvnia.

The dashboard's filament list no longer shows spools that have run out, only the ones with something left in them.

The dashboard now tells you more at a glance.

Needs attention also lists storefront orders waiting for you to confirm, first of all those whose hold is about to run out, supplies at their low-stock mark, and a telemetry agent that stopped reporting. Each line opens the place where it is dealt with, and everyone sees only what they can open.

If you sell through a storefront, the dashboard shows its figures for the last thirty days: orders, visitors and the share of them who ordered, and how many orders are waiting for you right now.

Every printer on the dashboard shows the work waiting on it and when it will be through it, so you can tell a customer when their order will be ready.

Quick order for a customer's own model. When a customer sends you their own file, you no longer need to add it to your catalogue. On the order form choose Customer's model, name the job, add each filament with the grams your slicer shows for the whole job, enter the print time and how many pieces it makes. The price is worked out the same way as for any other order.

If the shelf is short of a filament, the form warns you and still takes the order.

Pick lists on a phone now leave room under the last item, so it is easy to tap.

Telemetry agent update.

New printers report live status: the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, and the Flashforge Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro and AD5X in LAN mode.

Check printers: a new button on the Telemetry agent tab asks the agent what it reads from every printer right now. The answer arrives within about a minute, with nothing to do on the workshop computer.

The agent now follows a Bambu Lab printer when your router gives it a new address, and tells you when a printer's access code is wrong.

A stopped or cancelled print no longer shows as printing or as finished.

Your workspace is told when its agent stops reporting.

On the workshop computer, the agent shows a live status screen in its window, and a status page at the address the installer prints, which only that computer can open.

On Windows, installing from a PowerShell opened as administrator starts the agent together with the computer, before anyone logs in.

You can now buy extra orders without changing your plan. When this month's orders run out, add more in blocks of 10 for $1 on the Plan tab of your Workspace settings. They never expire and are used only after your plan's own orders for the month are gone.

Your storefront pages now have tighter, even spacing, so a buyer sees more of your products on a phone.

Shops in thirty-six countries, the Baltics, the Balkans and Ukraine among them, can now connect an Easyship account and ship abroad through DHL, UPS and FedEx.

EasyPost quotes now come from your own sender address, USPS labels can be bought, and the integrations list says where each carrier delivers, not only where it collects.

A sliced project with several plates is read plate by plate, each with its own time and filament, and every plate gets its own row in the order form. Files from Cura, Simplify3D and ideaMaker are read too, and a filament the slicer gave no colour for is still matched when its type leaves no doubt.

Statuses, tags and counts wear one and the same label everywhere in the app, and tables are a little denser, so more rows fit on a screen.

A spool can be renamed, written off, labelled or removed straight from the shelf. The buttons are on the row itself, so changing one word no longer means opening the spool and coming back. Deleting asks first, on a spool and on a sealed batch alike.

Spools that have run out are their own tab now, beside All, Sealed and Open. The switch that used to bring them back is gone: it worked, but the empty ones sit at the end of a long list, so turning it on changed nothing on the page you were looking at. The tab takes you to them.

The Base plan's storefront holds fifty items instead of ten.

The app now wears one colour. Switches, checkboxes and the row you have picked in a list take the accent of the palette you chose, instead of the blue-violet left over from an older one.

Cards are flat, with a thin edge instead of a shadow under them. Lists are tighter, so more of them fits on a screen, and the workspace tabs all sit on one line - Danger zone no longer hides behind an arrow.

On a phone, the line under a figure goes beneath the number instead of being cut off at the edge of the screen.

The filament cost chart says what each kind of plastic cost, what it weighed and what share of the spend it is, beside the circle rather than instead of it.

Filament that has run out no longer clutters the shelf. Spools with nothing left in them are kept out of the stock list, and a switch brings them back when you want to see what is still sitting in a printer.

The low stock figure counts only what is worth buying more of. An empty spool used to be counted as running low, so the warning could stand for several times more work than there was.
