Your printers stay on your network

The desktop app is designed to talk to your printers directly over your local network (LAN). Live printer telemetry is not designed to round-trip through our cloud. Printer access codes are designed to be kept on your device, in your operating system’s secure credential store, and are not uploaded to our servers.

Marketplace connections are handled server-side

Marketplace integrations are handled through our backend where OAuth is available. The sensitive parts of a connection are kept out of the desktop app:

Your data is scoped to your workspace

Accounts, orders, mappings, queues and settings are scoped to your workspace and enforced at the database level, so one customer’s data is isolated from another’s. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your order or design data to train models.

Monitoring first, control later and carefully

Printer communication is local to your network. Supported brands can show live status, current jobs, thumbnails and camera feeds. Lower-risk controls such as pause, resume and stop are limited to supported printers and require deliberate action. Higher-risk actions remain out of scope, and you remain responsible for your machines and prints.

Security questions

Are printer access codes uploaded to 3D Print Farm servers?

No. Printer access codes are designed to stay on the user device and use the operating system secure credential store where available.

Does 3D Print Farm send printer telemetry through the cloud?

No. Printer monitoring is designed to happen over the local network. The cloud side is used for account and marketplace connection workflows, not for routing live printer telemetry.

Where are marketplace OAuth secrets kept?

Marketplace client secrets are kept server-side. The desktop app does not ship marketplace client secrets or ask users to paste them.
