## What is SpoolPilot?

SpoolPilot is the profit app you use standing at the printer. It reads your slicer, your Etsy fees, and your spools, so you never sit down to a spreadsheet again.

It answers the question every 3D-print seller eventually asks: what did I actually make on that order?

EVERY FEE. NO ESTIMATING.
Connect your Etsy shop and SpoolPilot reads the exact fees Etsy charged from Etsy's own ledger: transaction, processing, listing, Offsite Ads. No formula. Buyer-paid shipping is treated as pass-through. When you ship free, the label is counted as the real cost it is.

PRICE A PRINT IN SECONDS.
Point your camera at your slicer screen and SpoolPilot reads the print time and grams. Name the margin you want and it gives you the price that still earns it after Etsy's cut.

YOUR REAL COST OF GOODS.
Give each product its filament recipe, print time, and packaging, plus labor if you pay someone for it. With Pro, add the parts you buy for it: switches, magnets, inserts, each priced by the pack. Every sale shows an itemized receipt: revenue, the full fee stack, your product cost, and the net profit and margin left over.

WHAT AN HOUR OF PRINTING EARNS (PRO).
A printer has a fixed number of hours in a day. SpoolPilot shows what each of those hours earned, month by month and product by product, why the figure moved, and the price at which a slow earner would match your average.

DO YOU NEED ANOTHER PRINTER? (PRO)
SpoolPilot compares the print hours your sales need against the hours your printers run, and against the same weeks last year. When the numbers say yes, you get a Printer Permission Slip to show whoever shares the credit card. Works for one printer or a farm of a hundred.

INVENTORY THAT RUNS ITSELF.
Scan a spool's barcode to add it. SpoolPilot counts the sealed spools on your shelf. With Pro, it also counts the parts you buy and forecasts weeks of stock from how fast you go through them, including the prints that failed and the ones you haven't sold yet.

BUILT FOR THE SHOP FLOOR (PRO).
Pending orders lists the Etsy orders you still have to print, checked against what's on the shelf, earliest ship date first. Then see what to print next based on what's selling. Track made-to-order and stocked products, bundles assembled from other products, and a month-by-month P&L of the whole shop.

SELL AT FAIRS OR IN PERSON?
No shop connection needed. Log a sale in two taps, and every number works from what you enter.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN.
Your sales, costs, and inventory live on your device. No account to create. Etsy access is read-only and authorized by you.

FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL PRO UPGRADE.
Free: filament inventory, the pricing calculator with three slicer scans, manual sales, the Monday recap, this month's net profit, and ten synced Etsy orders a month, each with Etsy's exact fees and what you kept. Unlimited slicer scans are a one-time purchase. SpoolPilot Pro brings in every order and adds the full profit-and-loss, profit per print hour, pending orders, what to print next, parts, the printer check, and stock forecasts. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Prices are shown in the app.

Built by an Etsy seller with 3,000+ sales, because guessing wasn't good enough.

### 5/5 — Game changer for inventory management

*2026-09-07*

SpoolPilot has been a game changer for my 3D printing business. The UI is easy to learn and intuitive. My favorite feature of the app is how it predicts what products I need to print next based on my product sales. I run my business off of 3 printers and this function allows me to optimize my usage before purchasing another printer… but you can never have too many printers.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review! Agree you can never have too many printers haha but happy to hear SpoolPilot is helping resist the urge to buy another.

### 5/5 — Essential tool for 3D Print Businesses

*2026-09-03*

I love having a mobile app where I can run my entire 3D print operations from! No more running back to my computer to update my spreadsheet.  Scanning my Bambu Slicer was super fun and easy to start pricing new products. 

Overall I think SpoolPilot has a lot of potential and I love that they never see any of my data. That makes me feel safe syncing orders. In a world full of apps trying to sell data, this makes me feel at ease.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind and thoughtful review! Best of luck to you on your 3D print business
