Forge Makerspace runs a small fleet of Bambu Lab printers, an A1 and two A1 Minis, shared by everyone in the space. The print queue keeps track of who is printing what, and who is next.
Anyone can add a job: their name, a printer preference or any available printer, and the model file as STL, OBJ or 3MF. The live queue shows each printer, what it is printing and for whom, and who is waiting next.
Instructors manage the queue from a separate instructor mode, behind its own sign in.
