1-Click AI Failure Detection

Enabling the AI Failure Detection is as easy as clicking a button. The AI will analyze images from your printer's camera while it prints, and if it detects a failure, notify you, and - based on your settings - pause or cancel the print for you automatically, once it's certain your print has failed.

  • Enable AI failure detection with 1 click
  • If we start to spot an error, we'll notify you
  • The AI can pause or cancel the print automatically, if it's certain it's failed (based on your settings)

Quick & easy overview

The gauge view shows the detected failures in a gauge, where you can see the detected failures over time.

Graph view mode

The graph view mode shows the detected failures in a graph, where you can see the detected failures over time.

Integrated into every aspect: job timeline & statistics

AI detections can be seen in the job timeline, and in the statistics.

Get notified when a failure is detected

The SimplyPrint AI alerts you as soon as it detects a possible failure. You decide whether to pause or let it continue. If the AI becomes more certain that the print has failed, it can automatically pause or cancel it—based on your settings.

Multiple printers? Print Farm? School? We've got you!

The SimplyPrint AI is not just designed to work with a single printer; it's designed to work with multiple printers, in a print farm, or in a school setting. So no matter what kind of setup you're running, there's time, money and filament to be saved!

Frequently asked questions

We know that in this day and age, AI is everywhere, and suddenly all one's data online seem to be contributing to training some AI model. We don't want to be that kind of company; at SimplyPrint we believe in privacy and transparency. Therefore, helping train the AI model (having some of your images "sampled", is completely opt-in, and you're asked before we do anything with your data.

TLDR; No. If you don't want us to train the AI model on your prints, we won't.
The AI works by analyzing images from your printer's camera. This means you must have a camera that can be used with SimplyPrint, on your printer. Whether it's a built in camera or an external doesn't matter. The AI model is hosted in the cloud, and the images are sent to the cloud for analysis. If the AI, based on the image, using computer vision, detects a failure, it will act accordingly.
Right now, the SimplyPrint AI is in beta. While it's in beta, it's completely free for all users for as many printers as you'd like / have. Once the beta period concludes (we don't yet have a precise date for this), you'll get [x] amount of hours of free AI detection every month (precise number TBD; but probably around ~12 hours). Once the free hours are used up, you can purchase unlimited AI detection for a small fee per printer per month. A license can be used on any printer, and can be swapped between printers at your choosing, but only one printer per license can actively have AI detections enabled.
The SimplyPrint AI works by analyzing images from your printer's camera. If your printer doesn't have a built-in camera, you can use a Raspberry Pi camera or a USB webcam.
Yes. SimplyPrint is a cloud platform, and the AI model is hosted in the cloud. So in order to use the AI Failure Detection, your printer needs to be connected to SimplyPrint, which requires it to be connected to the internet.

Developed with leading AI experts

At SimplyPrint, we build intuitive 3D print management—but we're not AI experts. That's why we partnered with the brilliant minds at Printpal, as seen in Forbes, ensuring our AI isn't just good—it's industry-leading.

Your data stays yours

Your privacy is our priority. We host the AI exclusively on SimplyPrint's secure servers, meaning no third parties can access or control your sensitive data. Once your webcam image has been analyzed, it's immediately discarded—gone forever.

  • No AI training on your data unless you explicitly opt in
  • Complete privacy—images analyzed once and never stored without consent
