About this game
3D Printer Manager is a strategic semi idle management game that takes you into the addictive world of 3D printing. Start your journey as a hobbyist in your bedroom with a single, noisy printer and a dream. Your goal? To build the ultimate 3D printing empire.
Manage your fleet of machines, optimize your filament supply, and fulfill customer orders to fund your expansion. As you grow, you'll move from a cramped bedroom to a garage, an office, and finally a factory. Whether you're a 3D printing enthusiast or a fan of tycoon games, 3D Printer Manager offers a satisfying blend of strategy, progression, and idle mechanics.
Build Your Fleet: Purchase and manage distinct printer types including reliable Cartesian workhorses, lightning-fast CoreXY machines, and tall Delta towers. Each comes with its own speed, cost, and reliability trade-offs.
Master Materials: Work your way up from basic PLA to advanced materials like ABS, TPU, Nylon, and premium Carbon Fiber. Each filament type commands a different market price and requires careful management.
Deep Upgrade System: Fine-tune your machines for peak performance. Install Klipper firmware to boost speed, improve durability to reduce breakdowns, and upgrade efficiency to cut material costs.
Expand Your Empire: Outgrow your space? Move your operation from a humble Bedroom with 4 spaces for printers, to a Garage, Office, and eventually a high-tech Factory capable of housing dozens of machines.
Automate & Optimize: You can't click forever. Hire staff to keep your farm running 24/7. They'll handle print jobs, perform repairs, and prioritize high-value orders while you sit back and watch the profits roll in.
Fulfill Orders: Take on contracts for specific prints, from the classic "Benchy" to complex "Articulated Dragons." Balancing bulk orders with daily production is key to maximizing your reputation and income.

Update #27 Even more QoL improvements
I listened to your feedback and added a bunch of them. Thanks for the ideas :)Unrelated, anyone with a Steam Deck, could you try playing the game and afterwards fill out the "did it work" form or whatever Steam gives you, I'm trying to get it verified. If anyone is having issues with the steam deck version, make sure compatibility it off, no startup commands, no proton, uninstall, and reinstall - as you probably have an older build without the shipped Linux Sniper.Changelog Tutorial hints improved a little.Several translations added to missed places.Added tap and drag-scroll to improve steam deck experience.Prestiging now starts the next run with more money.The Endless Workshop supports an extra worker slot.Sort button on printer print listDoubled the IDEX estimated filament cost in the prints list (it was using double, but I'd only added the figure for single print)Active orders shows how many are already on the printers.The print list shows how long each print will take, including batch.Print lists are now ordered smallest to largest, and the printer panel can sort by value or earnings per minute.Incoming orders can be paused with an open/closed switch on the Orders tab row, so the board stops refilling while you catch up.The orders you've already accepted are shown while you browse new ones.A new order no longer takes the place of one you just accepted.Orders can be sorted by time remaining, on both the available and active lists.Printers that run out of filament show it, on the printer and on the room tab.Sell Everything no longer discards prints it can't price instead of leaving them in your inventory (should never happen, but hardens it against new stuff if I add any).Read full article on Community Announcements (TMP69)Patch NotesOfficial
