Set up recurring maintenance routines and assign them to printers.

Create Maintenance Routine

In each routine, the user can:

  • Choose trigger condition and value
  • Set warning threshold
  • Customize description using markdown and embed images

Maintenance Triggers​

Maintenance can be scheduled based on:

  • Fixed schedule
  • Print hours
  • Material usage

AutoFarm3D automatically tracks progress and updates task status as printers are used.

Offline Printers​

Tasks can be assigned to offline printers, and maintenance tracking continues while printers are offline.
