Frequently Asked Questions

Quinly^3D is not an Octoprint Plugin, we built it from scratch to create a scalable software solution specifically designed for 3D printer automation and print farms with many printers.

If your printer is running Marlin 2 firmware and has a USB port, then yes, Quinly^3D will work with your printer.

No. Due to lack of demand, supporting RRF is not a high priority for us right now.

If you're running Marlin firmware and you have a USB port, then yes, Quinly^3D will work with your motherboard.

Octoprint is not designed for print farms or automation. Quinly^3D was designed from the ground-up to be scalable and efficient no matter how many printers you have. Octoprint plugins may or may not work together, but all features in Quinly^3D are fully integrated and require zero setup or configuration.

It is not officially supported. Some customers have figured out how to make Quinly^3D work with Klipper, but it is not trivial to set up. You may join our Discord server to learn more from our users who have had success.

Yes, but due the the lower RAM, connecting a webcam to the Pi 3 is not recommended.

Yes, as long as you have firmware that supports your specific probe setup, then it will work.

No, the tilt does not affect the print quality.

Yes! You will need to add custom print clearing gcode to roll the belt forward after the print is finished, but that's it!

If your custom automation solution can be triggered by using gcode, then yes, it'll work with Quinly^3D. You'll just have to enter your custom automation gcode that happens at the end of the print.

When the VAAPR bed cools down, parts completely detach, making them extremely easy to fall off. See the adhesion demo here.

By default, we probe the bed at 170 degrees which prevents ooze during probing. At the end of the print we automatically add a 3.5mm retraction which will work on bowden & direct drive printers.

No. Although VAAPR is the most reliable print surface for automation, other print surfaces can release parts well enough for automation, depending on the part size and material.

If you have the right tools and skills, you can cut VAAPR beds down to any shape or size you need. If you choose to cut the VAAPR beds, use a dust mask to avoid breathing in any dust that is created.

If you are on an annual subscription to AutoPrint^3D or AutoFarm^3D, VAAPR beds can be purchased separately on our online store.

See the full list here.

We created a video showing how you can add a fan to your print bed! Check it out here.

Yes, automated part removal works for parts as thin as 1mm.

You only lose a very small amount of print area. It's about a 40x40 mm square in the top left or top right corner of your print bed. Unless you are printing extremely close to the maximum size of your printer, you won't notice this small loss of build volume.

The VAAPR bed is attached to the heated bed using double-sided adhesive, which makes it quite permanent. You may alternatively adhere the VAAPR bed to a flexible spring steel sheet if you have a magnetic bed system.

Yes. See our bed replacement policy here.

Many materials will release at temperatures higher than the default 29 degrees. You'll have to experiment with the materials you have, but PLA can release as high as 36 degrees, and high temperature materials like ABS and ASA release at 50-60 degrees.

VAAPR bed will release parts of all shapes and sized, but we understand it can be nice to see it just for peace of mind. Upon request, we will provide a video of your part being automatically removed. Send an email with your STL file and any custom print settings to info@3dque.com to request a VAAPR part release demo.

Yes, automated part removal works even for parts that cover the entire build plate. We have successfully auto-removed a square that covered almost the full print bed on the CR10 (270x270 mm).

Send us an email at info@3dque.com and we'll schedule a video call to show you the software live.

Yes! AutoPrint^3D supports up to 2 printers per Pi/Hub and AutoFarm^3D supports up to 4. You'll need to add additional printers to your subscription in order to do this however.

Yes. You will need to set up remote access on a desktop computer that is on the same wifi network as Quinly^3D.

The Beta Testing Program is for current users who want to try out our newest features before we release it to the general public. If you want to become part of the Beta Testing Program, you may reach out to our staff on our Discord community.

Yes. We offer a 7-day free trial of AutoPrint^3D here.
