One part fails, the rest of the plate keeps going

Skip objects

Printing Free Plan

Multi-object print with one part lifting off the bed? Don't cancel the whole plate. Open the print job, see every object the slicer placed, skip the broken one - the printer just steps over it and keeps going on the rest.

Pulled straight from the G-code

Modern slicers (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio & ElegooSlicer) annotate each object in the G-code. SimplyPrint reads those annotations and shows the objects in the print job UI with per-object status and a skip control.

Spot the failure, skip the object

Open the ongoing print job. The Objects on the bed card lists every part the slicer placed, with its position and a per-object status. Click the skip control on the failed object and the printer's firmware lifts to the next one - the rest of the plate finishes as planned.

Why this matters at print-farm scale

Print farms run multi-object plates to maximise throughput - one plate, twenty parts. If one fails halfway through, canceling means losing nineteen good prints with it. Skip Objects lets the firmware step over the failed part and finish the rest, recovering 95% of the bed time you'd otherwise burn. Across a fleet running dozens of multi-object plates a day, that's the difference between "we lose a plate every time something goes wrong" and "we lose a part every time something goes wrong".

Works across OctoPrint, Bambu Lab, Klipper and RepRapFirmware

SimplyPrint's skip-object control works wherever the underlying firmware or host supports per-object skipping:

  • OctoPrint (Marlin 2.1+ and any printer that accepts M486)
  • Bambu Lab printers via the SimplyPrint Bambu integration
  • Klipper via the built-in exclude_object module
  • RepRapFirmware on Duet boards
If your printer connects through one of these and your slicer emits per-object markers, the skip control lights up automatically.

Slicer support for per-object markers

Skip objects relies on per-object G-code labels that OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, BambuStudio and SuperSlicer all output by default. If your slicer profile is older or has the option disabled, the card still shows the objects but the skip control is greyed out, and the print job tells you why.

Frequently asked questions

Skip objects is included on every plan, including Free. You just need a print job that was sliced with per-object metadata and a printer that supports skipping.
Either the slicer didn't put per-object markers in the G-code (older slicers, or non-default profiles), or your printer's firmware doesn't support skipping. The job page will tell you which.
No - the printer is told to step over the skipped object the next time it reaches a layer change. The rest of the plate keeps printing without an interruption.
Yes. Skip as many as you like. The printer carries on with whatever objects remain.
No - once an object is skipped it stays skipped for the rest of that print job, because the printer's firmware has already been instructed to ignore those layers. Slicing the file again gives you a fresh plate where every object is back in play.
