Printrun is a suite of pure Python 3D printing host software consisting of Pronterface (GUI), Pronsole (interactive CLI), and Printcore (library). It connects to RepRap-style 3D printers and CNC machines to send G-code, monitor prints, and control hardware.

Use cases

  • control a 3d printer from my computer
  • send gcode files to a reprap printer
  • graphical 3d printing host software
  • command line printer control
  • python library to talk to 3d printers
  • monitor and jog a cnc machine

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, cross-platform host for RepRap or CNC machines
  • you need both a GUI and a scriptable CLI/library for printer control
  • you want to automate or script G-code sending in Python

When to avoid

  • you need a full slicing workflow built in
  • you want a modern touchscreen or cloud-based printing interface
  • you need vendor-specific printer features unsupported by RepRap firmware
