3D print directly from Blender - export, slice and print in one click

The SimplyPrint extension for Blender bridges the gap between 3D modeling and 3D printing. Design your model in Blender, then export and send it to your printer in a single click - no need to manually export files, open a browser, or fumble with SD cards.

The extension adds a SimplyPrint panel to Blender's sidebar where you can log in, pick a printer, choose your export format (STL, OBJ or 3MF) and hit print. Your model goes straight to SimplyPrint for slicing and printing - or into your queue for later.

This extension is not available on the official Blender Extensions platform (see why). You can install it using the steps below.

About SimplyPrint integrations

Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!

This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).

If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.

If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
