Auto-tagging and a fuller G-code analysis
New features
- Auto-tagging: Newly uploaded files get material and nozzle size tags automatically, and colours for multi-colour prints. It works for files sliced in most slicers.
Improvements: G-code analysis: more details · Queue match criteria · Temperature margins · Why 1-click print matched · When the queue has run out · Why nothing matched, and 13 more

- G-code analysis: more details: The analysis now finds a file's total layers and layer height, among other new details.
- Queue match criteria: Three new settings: match nozzle size, match material colour and match material type.
- Temperature margins: Matching a material to a printer used to allow a fixed 10°C difference. Two account-wide settings now set the margin, one for nozzle and one for bed, and each material type can have its own in your filament settings.
- Why 1-click print matched: 1-click print makes it easier to see why an item, or none, was matched with a printer.
- When the queue has run out: A blue box tells you when nothing is matched with a printer simply because the queue is empty.
- Why nothing matched: When nothing matches, click to see exactly which matching criteria were not met.
- AutoPrint troubleshooting: With AutoPrint on, the bottom of a printer's AutoPrint widget has a "Troubleshooting & debugging" section: AutoPrint's state, the print it wants to start next, and any reason it has for not starting one.
- Faster panel: The panel loads and runs faster.
- Fixes this update made possible: Fixed sorting of printers, the print queue and more; sliced files being named "SimplySliced.gcode"; saving from the slicer failing; parts of the interface staying dark after switching to light mode; not reconnecting to the printer server after a short loss of internet; and a file's selected printers not showing after saving. A file's printers are now selected when you click "Print file".
- Print queue on its own page: The print queue is now at simplyprint.io/panel/queue, with its own item in the sidebar, and the queue buttons on the Printers page are gone. It gives the queue room to grow, and works for users who may see the queue but not the printers.
- 1-click print, easier to find: The 1-click print button moved to the left of the Printers page, where newer users are less likely to miss it.
- File actions moved up: In the panel that opens when you click a file in Your files, Start print, Add to queue, delete, download, move and rename now sit above the preview, so you do not have to scroll to them.
- Klipper START_PRINT temperatures: The analysis reads tool and bed temperatures from the Klipper macro START_PRINT in G-code files.
- Print information from the first layer: Print information is gathered only once the first layer starts, so start lines and purging do not set off alerts.
- PrusaSlicer filament estimates: For PrusaSlicer files, the filament usage is the estimate PrusaSlicer wrote into the file, which is more precise than our own analysis.
- Prusa .bgcode files: SimplyPrint accepts Prusa's new binary G-code format, decodes it and analyses it like any G-code file. It only prints on printers that support the format, for now the Prusa MK4 and XL.
- Printable 3MF files: 3MF files can be printed in certain cases.
- 3MF splitting: Each plate in a 3MF file can be extracted as its own file.
- Panel loads without the printer server: The panel now loads even when it cannot reach the printer API server, showing the last known state of your printers. Only printer actions, such as starting prints, need the connection. This matters when a firewall blocks it or the server is being updated.
