Main Panel

The main panel is the central control center in 3DPrintForge. It shows real-time status for the selected printer and lets you monitor, control, and customize the view as needed.

Go to: https://localhost:3443/

Real-time overview

When a printer is active, all values update continuously via MQTT:

• Nozzle temperature — animated SVG ring gauge with target temperature
• Bed temperature — equivalent ring gauge for the build plate
• Progress percentage — large percentage indicator with time remaining
• Layer counter — current layer / total number of layers
• Speed — Silent / Standard / Sport / Turbo with slider

Real-time updates

All values are updated directly from the printer via MQTT without reloading the page. Latency is typically under 1 second.

3D Model Viewer

During active printing, an interactive 3D preview of the model is displayed:

• EnhancedViewer — Three.js-based renderer with smooth shading, 3-point lighting and build plate grid
• Per-layer colours — multi-colour prints show correct filament colour per layer
• Print progress — model is clipped at current layer with green edge glow
• Gcode toolpath — for Moonraker/Klipper printers, gcode is shown as coloured toolpath (blue bottom → red top)
• 3MFConsortium 3mfViewer — for 3MF files from library, full 3D viewer with scene tree and materials
• Orbit controls — rotate, zoom and pan with mouse, auto-rotation during printing
• Universal — works for all printer types (Bambu Lab FTPS, Moonraker HTTP, local files)

AMS status

The AMS panel shows all mounted AMS units with slots and filament:

• Slot color — visual color representation from Bambu metadata
• Filament name — material and brand
• Active slot — highlighted with pulse animation during printing
• Error — red indicator on AMS errors (clog, empty, moisture)

Click on a slot to see full filament info and link it to the filament inventory.

Camera feed

Live camera view is converted via ffmpeg (RTSPS → MPEG1):

1. The camera starts automatically when you open the dashboard
2. Click on the camera image to open full screen
3. Use the Snapshot button to take a still image
4. Click Hide camera to free up space

Performance

Camera stream uses approximately 2–5 Mbit/s. Disable the camera on slow network connections.

Temperature sparklines

Below the AMS panel, mini-graphs (sparklines) show the last 30 minutes:

• Nozzle temperature over time
• Bed temperature over time
• Chamber temperature (where available)

Click on a sparkline to open the full telemetry graph view.

Widget customization

The dashboard uses a drag-and-drop grid layout:

1. Click Customize layout (pencil icon in the top right)
2. Drag widgets to the desired position
3. Resize by dragging the corner
4. Click Lock layout to freeze the positions
5. Click Save to preserve the layout

Available widgets:

Widget	Description
Camera	Live camera view
AMS	Spool and filament status
Temperature	Ring gauges for nozzle and bed
Progress	Percentage indicator and time estimate
Telemetry	Fans, pressure, speed
3D model	Interactive model view
Sparklines	Mini temperature graphs

Saving

The layout is saved per user in the browser (localStorage). Different users can have different layouts.
