PrintFarm

[admin] [drucker] [in preparation]

Production management for your 3D printers — active printers, print jobs and statistics at a glance. In preparation: the page is a placeholder stub with no function yet, and it is not live in production.

Status​

PrintFarm is not available in production. The page is guarded twice (apps/admin/app/printfarm/page.tsx):

  1. isFeatureAvailable(plan, 'has_printfarm') — the has_printfarm flag is set in the code (migration-level plan data), but
  2. the PRINTER_3D_TAB environment flag is off in production (packages/feature-flags, matrix: development on, preview/staging/production off).

Because the env flag wins, /printfarm returns a 404 (notFound()) in production for everyone, even where has_printfarm would otherwise apply. It should therefore not be advertised as an available feature yet.

Strategic note: in Phase 2 PrintFarm is planned as a standalone product under printfarm.licensio.io — separately bookable without a license portal, with a login shared via admin.licensio.io. Vision only, not part of the current release.

Sidebar​

The PrintFarm sidebar entry (between Products and FAQs, printer SVG icon) is hidden in production along with the page — missing features are hidden, not locked (no more 🔒 badge, since 2026-05-29).

PrintFarm page (/printfarm)​

Header: PrintFarm. All functions live on this single page: overview, jobs, statistics and printer configuration/agent setup are inline (single-URL rule).

Three cards as an overview:

  • 🖨️ Active printers: list of connected printers, status (online/offline/printing). Currently a placeholder, fully functional from the agent phase.
  • 📋 Print jobs: running and in the queue. Currently a placeholder.
  • 📊 Statistics: prints today / this week, filament consumption. Currently a placeholder.

Without the feature (or, in production, without the PRINTER_3D_TAB env flag) /printfarm returns a 404 (notFound() guard): no more lock banner.

Backwards-compat redirect​

/settings/advanced/printfarm historically existed as a separate configuration page and is today a redirect stub → /printfarm. Old links stay functional, new references use /printfarm directly.
