Ever wondered what it takes to run a real 3D printing business? Start with a single humble printer in your garage and build it into a print farm that spans the solar system. Print Farm is an idle tycoon game made by people who actually run one. HitPrints is a real 3D printing shop, and the game works the way real print farms do — designs get sliced, beds get leveled, prints fail, and the money is made by finding your bottleneck and crushing it. MASTER THE PRODUCTION CHAIN Every product flows through five stages: create designs in the Design Lab, prep them in the Slicer, print them on the Print Floor, polish them in Post-Process for bonus value, and sell them at the Shipping Dock. When one stage falls behind, the whole farm slows down. Spot the bottleneck, invest smart, and watch the profits flow. WATCH YOUR PRINTS COME TO LIFE The Print Floor is the heart of the game — prints grow layer by layer on animated printer beds. Tap finished prints to collect them at double value, or hire a Floor Worker to automate collection and a Manager to repair failed prints and speed up production. GROW FROM GARAGE TO GALAXY Found 12 facilities, each bigger than the last: Garage, Maker Space, Warehouse, Industrial Facility, Automated Megaplex, Orbital Print Station, Lunar Fab, Mars Colony Printer, Asteroid Belt Foundry, Europa Deep Fab, Titan Mega Forge, and the Dyson Swarm Assembler. Nothing ever resets — every facility keeps producing while you build the next one. UPGRADE YOUR FLEET 9 printer tiers, from a cheap starter kit to industrial machines to a construction-scale rig that prints houses and bridge sections. Unlock filament colors and materials that recolor your fleet and raise product value. KEEP PROGRESSING, EVEN OFFLINE • Innovation Points: permanent skill tree — production speed, offline earnings, cost cuts • R&D Lab: real-time research projects (2 to 48 hours) with permanent breakthroughs • Masterpiece Gallery: about 1 in 400 prints comes out flawless — enshrine it for a permanent bonus • Contracts: timed rush orders for big payouts • Viral Moments: catch the golden order for a cash jackpot or a ×7 production frenzy • Offline earnings: your farm keeps working while the app is closed — get notified when it's full MADE FOR MAKERS From Benchy boats and keychains to lithophanes, cosplay armor, drone frames, and full 3D-printed houses — if the community prints it, it's in here. Slicing, spools, failed first layers… you'll feel right at home. FREE MEANS FREE No forced ads. No account required. Optional rewarded ads let you double offline earnings or boost production — always your choice. Game Center leaderboards and iCloud save sync included. Download Print Farm and turn one printer into an empire.

The Process

THE PROCESS — Welcome to the Ethereal Foundry. Build a steam-and-steel factory, wire your stations together, and watch it produce. But growth never stops here: as your system wears down, REBOOT it for a permanent multiplier — and grow faster next cycle. HOW TO PLAY • Start with the Boiler (input), route it through a Refinery, deliver it to the Emitter (output). • Unlock advanced stations as you progress: Furnace, Converter, Amplifier, Transmuter. • Use Coolant to slow degradation, and place stations smartly to trigger resonance and chain bonuses. A SYSTEM THAT DEEPENS • Blueprint Tree: spend points earned from every reboot on permanent perks. • Ascension: reset your factory a second time for Aether — a passive multiplier plus the exclusive "Aether Conduit" station. • Daily Contracts + Shift Streak: fresh goals every day, rewards for showing up. • Weekly Trial: build a mini factory and compete on the global leaderboard. MAKE IT YOURS Earn pipe color palettes and node skins to give your factory a signature look — never for sale, only earned by playing. FAIR AND TRANSPARENT Ads never play themselves. When you choose to watch one, you'll always see exactly what you're getting first. Your progress saves to the cloud automatically, so it survives a device switch. An idle/incremental factory game for players who love both hands-on tinkering and watching things grow in the background. The steam never stops. Is your factory ready?
