What changed

New notifications now appear in the corner of any page the moment they arrive, each in its own colour: a stopped printer in red, a low spool in amber, a finished print in green. They stay until you close them, and closing one, or opening what it is about, marks it read. When several arrive at once, the newest stand and the rest wait in one line. A stopped printer no longer opens a window of its own.

On a phone, the notifications open as a panel from the bottom of the screen, with a cross on every row to remove it.

Print time allowance: set how much longer your prints really take than the slicer says, for the whole workspace or for each printer. LayerFlow3D suggests the figure from your own finished prints.

AMS 2 Pro: spool weights in the warehouse now follow the scale in the AMS by themselves.

Order board: cards are compact now. The arrow at the bottom of a card opens its details.

Storefront requests: a buyer can ask for something that is not on your shelf, with their own model attached or linked, or ask you to design one. Requests arrive next to your new orders, with no price and no payment, and you answer by email. You can switch them off under Page and delivery.

Parcels: weights and sizes can be typed in pounds and inches.

The website now speaks Ukrainian: pick the language in the menu at the top. Its free calculators ask for your own filament price, hourly rate and waste, and work in any currency.

The LayerFlow3D website now speaks Ukrainian: layerflow3d.com/uk/ has the whole homepage, with the price calculator in hryvnia.

The dashboard's filament list no longer shows spools that have run out, only the ones with something left in them.

The dashboard now tells you more at a glance.

Needs attention also lists storefront orders waiting for you to confirm, first of all those whose hold is about to run out, supplies at their low-stock mark, and a telemetry agent that stopped reporting. Each line opens the place where it is dealt with, and everyone sees only what they can open.

If you sell through a storefront, the dashboard shows its figures for the last thirty days: orders, visitors and the share of them who ordered, and how many orders are waiting for you right now.

Every printer on the dashboard shows the work waiting on it and when it will be through it, so you can tell a customer when their order will be ready.

Quick order for a customer's own model. When a customer sends you their own file, you no longer need to add it to your catalogue. On the order form choose Customer's model, name the job, add each filament with the grams your slicer shows for the whole job, enter the print time and how many pieces it makes. The price is worked out the same way as for any other order.

If the shelf is short of a filament, the form warns you and still takes the order.

Pick lists on a phone now leave room under the last item, so it is easy to tap.

Telemetry agent update.

New printers report live status: the Elegoo Centauri Carbon, and the Flashforge Adventurer 5M, 5M Pro and AD5X in LAN mode.

Check printers: a new button on the Telemetry agent tab asks the agent what it reads from every printer right now. The answer arrives within about a minute, with nothing to do on the workshop computer.

The agent now follows a Bambu Lab printer when your router gives it a new address, and tells you when a printer's access code is wrong.

A stopped or cancelled print no longer shows as printing or as finished.

Your workspace is told when its agent stops reporting.

On the workshop computer, the agent shows a live status screen in its window, and a status page at the address the installer prints, which only that computer can open.

On Windows, installing from a PowerShell opened as administrator starts the agent together with the computer, before anyone logs in.

You can now buy extra orders without changing your plan. When this month's orders run out, add more in blocks of 10 for $1 on the Plan tab of your Workspace settings. They never expire and are used only after your plan's own orders for the month are gone.

Your storefront pages now have tighter, even spacing, so a buyer sees more of your products on a phone.

Shops in thirty-six countries, the Baltics, the Balkans and Ukraine among them, can now connect an Easyship account and ship abroad through DHL, UPS and FedEx.

EasyPost quotes now come from your own sender address, USPS labels can be bought, and the integrations list says where each carrier delivers, not only where it collects.

A sliced project with several plates is read plate by plate, each with its own time and filament, and every plate gets its own row in the order form. Files from Cura, Simplify3D and ideaMaker are read too, and a filament the slicer gave no colour for is still matched when its type leaves no doubt.

Statuses, tags and counts wear one and the same label everywhere in the app, and tables are a little denser, so more rows fit on a screen.

A spool can be renamed, written off, labelled or removed straight from the shelf. The buttons are on the row itself, so changing one word no longer means opening the spool and coming back. Deleting asks first, on a spool and on a sealed batch alike.

Spools that have run out are their own tab now, beside All, Sealed and Open. The switch that used to bring them back is gone: it worked, but the empty ones sit at the end of a long list, so turning it on changed nothing on the page you were looking at. The tab takes you to them.

The Base plan's storefront holds fifty items instead of ten.

The app now wears one colour. Switches, checkboxes and the row you have picked in a list take the accent of the palette you chose, instead of the blue-violet left over from an older one.

Cards are flat, with a thin edge instead of a shadow under them. Lists are tighter, so more of them fits on a screen, and the workspace tabs all sit on one line - Danger zone no longer hides behind an arrow.

On a phone, the line under a figure goes beneath the number instead of being cut off at the edge of the screen.

The filament cost chart says what each kind of plastic cost, what it weighed and what share of the spend it is, beside the circle rather than instead of it.

Filament that has run out no longer clutters the shelf. Spools with nothing left in them are kept out of the stock list, and a switch brings them back when you want to see what is still sitting in a printer.

The low stock figure counts only what is worth buying more of. An empty spool used to be counted as running low, so the warning could stand for several times more work than there was.

The workspace has a new look, and you choose it.

Under Workspace and then your account settings there are now two palettes. Monokai is the new one and it is on by default: darker surfaces, one accent colour, and figures set in a typeface where digits line up under each other. Classic is the palette the app has always had, and you can stay on it. Each palette comes as a pair, so light and dark both look right whichever one you pick.

The dashboard was rebuilt around it. Every figure at the top now says what it is worth reading against: how many orders have been waiting too long, how many machines are actually printing, what the pile ready to ship is worth, how many jobs an ordinary day closes, how much is still owed and how many spools the shelf holds. The order queue says what each job is, for whom and for how much, instead of how heavy it is. The price calculator draws where the price goes, a colour per kind of cost, and what is left over is your profit.

The menu folds to a narrow rail of icons and opens again whenever you want it, and it remembers which you chose. Along the foot of the window there is a new line with the state of the connection, how many machines you have and how many are online, the queue depth and the version you are running.

Spacing, card edges and dividers are the same everywhere now, on every page.

Accounts with view only access no longer meet the dashboard with error messages about pages they were never allowed to open.

Signing in as somebody else on the same page, without reloading it, now loads that person's own printers and orders instead of leaving the workspace empty.

Integrations we have not yet run against the real service are marked as beta on the integrations page, so you know which ones are still being proven.

The front page now says who builds LayerFlow3D.

The order board opens faster. It now carries only what the cards actually show, and moving a card between columns no longer makes every open tab reload the board, the history and the archive.

Signing in is lighter as well: the filament colour catalogue is fetched by the screens that use it instead of arriving with every session.

The pricing page no longer says that payments are unavailable. They are, and the page now says what each plan costs and what you get.

The plans are one table now, so what each one gives you can be read across in a line: printers, seats, orders a month, workspaces, then every feature against all four plans. On a phone each plan is a short card again.

The build number no longer spills out of the collapsed sidebar, and on a phone the consent bar no longer covers the figures at the top of the site.

For a workshop running the telemetry agent on a large farm: a full report from every machine is accepted again after the agent restarts.

The order queue opens roughly three times faster.

On a phone it used to lock up for about a second and a half every time you opened it, whether or not you had been there a minute earlier. It now draws in well under a second, and the screen answers your taps while it does.

Three things changed to get there. The queue asks the server for what a card actually shows instead of everything an order has ever carried. A long column draws its first twenty five cards and offers the rest under a button that says how many are waiting: nothing has left the board, and the number beside the column name is still the real one. And the board stopped re-measuring itself every time you scrolled.

Other pages ask for less on the way in as well, so moving between them is quicker. Opening a machine from a link now shows the page filling in rather than an empty screen.

The whole app also downloads noticeably less than it did, which is worth most on mobile data and on a slow connection.

Adding a photo from a phone works again. The app now reads the picture before sending it, so a photo chosen from an iPhone gallery uploads instead of failing with nothing to go on. When the phone will not hand over the file at all, the app refuses it and says why.

In the price calculator a field opens with its value selected, so a new number can be typed straight away without clearing the old one first.

Picking a photo on an iPhone now says what went wrong when it does. Where the phone is set to share only the photos you select, it sometimes hands the page a file with nothing in it; that used to end as "the photo could not be uploaded" and nothing more. The app now tells you that the phone did not hand the photo over, and what to do about it, before anything is sent. The same check stands behind a printer photo, a shop logo and a product photograph.

A change saved in a product card now shows in the storefront list straight away. The price, the shelf label and everything else the row says follow the save instead of waiting for the page to be reloaded, and a shop editing from a phone sees the same card update in a tab left open on the desk.

The block that builds a picture of an item now says what it is for. It makes a picture for a post or a story: the shop page itself does not change from it. The shape, the colour and what the picture says are kept with the card, so a shop sets them once instead of choosing them again every time it opens the item.

You can now ask for a referral code and share a link with it.

When a shop signs up through your link and finishes its first order, 25 paid orders are added to your workspace. They are spent only after the orders your plan already allows each month, so they are extra rather than instead.

When paid plans open, anyone who arrives through your link will take 10 percent off Base and Pro, or 15 percent off Ultimate, for their first twelve months, and you will be credited with the value of one month of the plan they chose.

Ask for a code on the new Referrals tab in your workspace settings. We look at every request ourselves and write to you with your link. The same tab then shows how many people opened it, how many signed up, how far each of them has got and what it has earned you.

The shop settings now keep every switch you save. Cash on delivery for Nova Poshta stays on, a connected carrier no longer shows as switched off after a reload, and the Payments tab stays where it is while you change whether payment is required at checkout. Under the order button a buyer now reads what actually happens to their money, with its own line for cash on delivery.

Orders from other platforms. Upload an order export from Etsy or any CSV file, confirm the columns once, see what the import would do, and the orders land in your queue. A new SKU directory in your account maps a platform's codes to your print models, and orders waiting on a code settle themselves the moment you map it.

Your shop page. Buyers can now pay at the branch with cash on delivery through Nova Poshta. The page carries your seller details for buyers in the EU: tax number, registered address, terms of sale and the right to withdraw. You can look at your own page while it is still closed, and copy a link to any item for a post or a story. On a wide screen the buy buttons fit the page, and the bar that follows a buyer on a phone offers the basket as well.

Free tools and guides. The print cost, filament cost and printer hourly rate calculators have pages of their own, five guides for print shops are published, two of them also in Ukrainian and Russian, and there are comparison pages with Printago, SimplyPrint and spreadsheets.

Testimonials. After twenty orders the workspace invites you to write a short testimonial about LayerFlow3D. A published one earns fifty paid orders on top of what your plan allows.

A status page at layerflow3d.com/status shows whether every part of the service is working, checked every minute.

The Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy now describe the service as it is today, your shop page and your buyers included.
