- EasyPrint now supports third-party printers and adds improvements against VFA.
- Agile workflow: Detects devices in Connect, applies a profile, and triggers printing.
- Free with reasonable limits; offline option and 3MF projects for local use.
- Integration with the Prusa app: remote control, cameras, and job queue.
The arrival of a major update to EasyPrint marks a turning point in Prusa's 3D printing ecosystem. The application is no longer limited to home computers and opens the door to many third-party machines, including popular names such as Voron, Creality, Bambu Lab or Elegoo, greatly expanding its real-world usefulness in homes, workshops and print farms.
In addition to the compatibility boost, the latest version introduces features related to VFA removal that are already built in. The idea is to make the laminating and printing flow more direct and accessible., without sacrificing precision or control; in other words, prepare your models with maximum convenience from your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, and send them to print with a single tap.
What is EasyPrint and what has changed with this update?
EasyPrint is a web application that simplifies the process of finding a model and seeing it printed on your machine. Allows you to manage and prepare projects without installing anything, simplifying all those steps that can be a barrier for beginners: profiles, materials, basic settings, and sending to the printer.
With this update, the app detects your printers linked to Prusa Connect, sets appropriate profiles—for example, a detailed one like 0.15 Structural—and lets you launch the job with the click of a button. That journey of choosing a design on Printables, viewing it, and hitting print It has been refined to be almost immediate, especially in mobile devices.
Support for third-party brands is the big news. The app is no longer just for Prusa equipment owners. and aligns with the intention of making 3D printing more open and comfortable for everyone, without walled gardens.
As an extra, features linked to VFA mitigation have been integrated, with the intention of producing cleaner surfaces in the final results. These improvements add up to the whole without the need for complex configurations., maintaining the spirit of ease.
A single printer or an entire farm
EasyPrint is designed for both those with a single computer at home and those responsible for print farms with dozens of machines. The app facilitates remote management, status monitoring and incident resolution., reducing downtime and increasing overall productivity.
Those who dream of a simple flow from the couch or on the way to the workshop will find the fast track here. Remote control, suitable profiles and integration with the Prusa ecosystem allow printing Boot safely in just a few steps.
Breaking the laminate barrier: this is how EasyPrint works
Laminating may seem trivial to veteran users, but for a first-time user, it isn't so trivial. EasyPrint eliminates friction: clean interface, basic settings by hand, and complex decisions automated with profiles prepared for your machine and the loaded material.
The app integrates tightly with Printables and the Prusa app, so it knows which printers you have registered and their status. From Printables you can jump to a 3D preview with one click, and from there decide whether to print, save or adjust what is essential before sending.
When you hit Print, the scene is sent to a PrusaSlicer running on powerful servers and returns the G-code file to your printer. The interface runs on your device, but the heavy computing is done in the cloud., which enables lamination on affordable mobile phones and tablets that would otherwise fall short due to memory limitations.
A relevant idea: EasyPrint does not seek to lock anyone in. It's optional, and you can continue working in PrusaSlicer locally if you prefer.. In fact, EasyPrint generates projects 3MF compatible with modern rolling mills; it is not, in itself, a closed rolling mill.
Practical functions in the browser
The EasyPrint interface allows you to easily move, rotate, and scale models, position a specific face on the base, or even automatically distribute multiple parts across one or more virtual platforms. Includes a simple cart to add models from Printables and then print them all in one go.
You can also touch basic parameters such as quality, padding, supports or perimeters. If you use an XL or MMU system, you have smart painting to assign colors to areas of the model.; with several taps, the selection logically expands to cover more surface area.
All the complex stuff is kept under the hood to avoid overwhelm, and is configured automatically. The goal is for laminating to be super fluid, but without giving up essential customization when needed.
Who is EasyPrint for?
For starters, the entrance wall disappears. No installations or steep learning curvesSimply choose a template, review the basics, and start printing. No prior experience is necessary.
In educational environments and users of Chromebook, EasyPrint shines especially. You avoid specialized software and system restrictions; you open a tab, prepare the model and send it to print or downloads the G code to a unit USB.
If you model on a tablet with apps like Shapr3D or export from Blender for 3D printing, the app saves you from device jumps. You don't need to transfer the file to the PC to laminate., and the stylus also helps to paint areas precisely.
At home, anyone can use it. You stop being the person who prints for everyone; couples, children, or families can take on their projects without complications.
For board users, having the option to laminate from the couch is golden. When you know you're going to use a predefined profile, launch the print from your mobile. It is very comfortable.
Cloud yes, but without confinement and with a local alternative
The design separates the interface from the heavy calculations. The UI runs on your device, slicing happens on servers with the same public version of PrusaSlicer. whose code is available on GitHub. The web frontend isn't open source, unlike Printables or Prusa Connect, but its connection to PrusaSlicer drives its continuous improvement.
At any time, you can download the project and open it on your computer with PrusaSlicer. Everything is saved: models, orientations and settings, in a 3MFFrom there, you apply advanced tools (support painting, modifiers, etc.) and export the G-code for your local workflow.
The cloud isn't a whim here: affordable phones and tablets have RAM limits that make local lamination very difficult. For now, this architecture is the realistic way to bring lamination to modest devices. without compromising performance.
The approach maintains security as its core focus, something Prusa emphasizes in its history with professional and institutional clients. Reputation and use in demanding environments support the priority for protection and control.
Offline Printers: Dedicated button for offline flows
If you work with computers that don't connect to the Internet, you can add an offline printer from the app itself. This way you can take advantage of cloud slicing and the simple UI, and download the G-code. to transfer it via USB or SD card.
PrusaSlicer derivatives and multi-brand horizon
The backend is prepared to run PrusaSlicer-based slicers (e.g., Orca or Bambu Studio) interchangeably. The intention is to open the use also to users of printers other than Prusa, when stability and testing warrant it. The stated goal is more accessible 3D printing for everyone, not a closed ecosystem.
Beta results and public opening
EasyPrint was first tested as an invited beta to measure server costs, processing power, and real-world usage behavior. More than 6.700 users participated and they managed to laminate some 53.000 projects, providing comments that served to polish functions and correct errors.
After that phase, the app has made the leap to being available to everyone. Demand grew rapidly, with forums and networks asking for access, and learning from beta has helped to reach the point of maturity.
Free, with reasonable limits to balance resources
The app remains free with certain limitations designed to preserve the experience. Only one lamination job is executed at a time using internal queue, so if you open multiple tabs, tasks wait their turn.
Giant, extremely detailed models or models with very heavy supports may be reused due to resource consumption. There is also a daily laminating time limit. which is renewed every 24 hours, although it is not usually reached in normal use.
Further down the line there is an offer on the table storage in the cloud for EasyPrint projects and expand Prusa Connect within a possible subscription. The idea is to add value without losing focus on accessibility. that has guided the tool from the beginning.
Prusa App: Comprehensive Management and Key Features
