PrintPatch is the 3D printing companion that actually learns from your prints. Most troubleshooting guides give you generic advice. PrintPatch is different: it studies your own print history and tells you what's really going on — like "over-extrusion showed up on 6 of your last 8 prints with this spool, here's the fix." The more you log, the smarter it gets. Built for FDM hobbyists and makers, and works fully offline. SPOT PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY COST YOU FILAMENT PrintPatch surfaces patterns across your prints — by spool, by material, and over time — and connects each one to a grounded, trustworthy fix from a curated knowledge base. No guesswork, no generic "try lowering your temperature." A TROUBLESHOOTING BRAIN THAT KNOWS YOUR SETUP Personalized diagnosis built from your real print history Photo diagnosis — snap a failed print and get it classified and explained A curated knowledge base covering stringing, warping, layer separation, under- and over-extrusion, elephant's foot, bed adhesion, ghosting, clogs, and more Honest by design — it only flags a pattern when there's real evidence LOG A PRINT IN SECONDS Fast capture of every print — model, spool, settings, and outcome — so your history builds effortlessly. Repeat a previous print in a single tap. KNOW YOUR FILAMENT AND YOUR MACHINES Spool inventory with weight, cost, color, and drying status Printer profiles with a catalog of 70+ machines across 18 brands Maintenance log with reminders Filament drying tracker so moisture never ruins another print A FULL MAKER TOOLKIT Cost calculator and marketplace pricing tool Filament calibration vault and guided calibration Filament math and unit converters A curated reference library: materials, build surfaces, supports, post-processing, and where to find models FOR MAKERS WHO SELL Per-design ledger tracking cost, sales, and net profit Professional invoices (PDF) COGS and tax CSV export Pricing tools that account for marketplace fees and your target margin PRIVATE BY DESIGN PrintPatch works offline.
