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
