Devices

Devices are your 3D printers. Adding them to MakerStack lets you record which spool is loaded on each machine at any given time — handy when you have multiple printers running different materials.

Adding a device

1. Go to Devices → Add device
2. Enter a name (e.g. “Bambu X1C” or “Prusa MK4”)
3. Click Save

Loading a spool onto a device

1. Open the device
2. Click Load spool
3. Pick the spool from your inventory
4. Click Confirm

The spool is now linked to the device. You can see at a glance which spool is loaded from both the device detail page and the spool’s own detail page.

Unloading a spool

Click Unload on the device to clear the association. The spool returns to its unloaded state — no weight change is made.

Editing a device

Click the device name → Edit to rename it or update its details.

Deleting a device

Open the device → More actions → Delete. Any loaded spool is automatically unloaded first.

Tips

• Name devices by their physical location if you have many (e.g. “Workshop Bambu” vs. “Office Bambu”)
• Check the device view before starting a print to confirm the right colour is loaded
