01 Sound familiar?

Running a print shop is a business.
Most tools don't treat it like one.

Sticky notes. Spreadsheets. A whiteboard that hasn't been updated since Tuesday. You're good at printing. The business side is a different problem — and it's costing you money you don't know you're losing.

?

"How much did that actually cost me?"

Filament, printer wear, your time, post-processing — most shop owners price by gut feel and hope for the best. You might be losing money on your best-seller and not know it.

?

"Wait — did I forget that order?"

When you're running printers, packing orders, and answering messages, things slip. Customers notice before you do. One missed order can cost you a repeat customer for life.

?

"Is this printer always failing on this filament?"

You've re-printed that plate three times this month. Same printer. Same material. Same failure. You logged each one. You just didn't see the pattern. PrintDeck did.

Today
The shop, every morning

Walk in. Know exactly what needs you.

Every morning Oliver reads your shop and lifts what actually matters to the top — overdue orders, prints to confirm, cash sitting uncollected. A quiet page means your shop's running clean.

02 Know your numbers

Know exactly what every job
costs you.

Build a product once and PrintDeck does the math forever — your real floor price, your inventory, your profit, and the custom work that has to pay for itself.

Floor Pricing

Know your floor before
you name your price.

Build a product once — type in your filament and print time, or snap a photo of your slicer summary and let Oliver fill it in. The moment you save it, PrintDeck shows your true floor: filament, your printer's real wear rate × hours, every part in the build, overhead, finishing. Every number on screen. No mystery math.

  • Snap your slicer summary — Oliver reads the grams, colors, and print time
  • Filament + printer wear (rate × hours, by printer) + parts + overhead + finishing
  • See the full floor the moment you create the product — then every order reuses it
  • Sell below it and PrintDeck shows the gap — to the cent
Floor price breakdown at product creation — filament, wear, BOM, overhead to Floor $6.45, suggested $8.83 at 27% margin
Quick Sale — clears $3.73 per unit after materials and labor
Inventory & Expenses

Track what you have.
Know what you've spent.

Filament, hardware, packaging — all in one inventory. Snap a photo of a label and Oliver identifies it and adds it. Log a purchase and PrintDeck updates your costs and recalculates every floor price that uses it. No spreadsheet.

  • Filament by the pool in Calculator — or per spool, with color, in Spool mode
  • Hardware, packaging, and finishing supplies tracked separately
  • Snap a label — Oliver identifies it and adds it to inventory
  • Log a purchase — floor prices across all products update automatically
  • Oliver flags low stock before it stops a job
Filament inventory by material family — shop average $0.023/g feeds floor prices
Hardware supplies tracked separately with per-unit cost
Finances

Finally see if your shop
is actually profitable.

12-month revenue vs. expenses. Top products by revenue. Real profit per order — not what you charged, what you kept after costs. And when a client needs an invoice, you've got one.

  • Revenue collected, product costs, and net profit in one view
  • 12-month bar chart: revenue vs. expenses at a glance
  • Refunds tracked and netted from revenue automatically
  • Hand a client an invoice — print it clean, or share it right from your phone
  • Year-end tax package: a Schedule C-ready PDF plus revenue & expense CSVs for your accountant
Finances — revenue, product cost, gross margin, net cash flow, top products by revenue
Invoice — print it clean or share it from your phone
Projects

Custom designs that
pay for themselves.

Log design hours, trial prints, and progress notes as you go. Graduate a project and PrintDeck locks your development cost into the floor price — amortized across the orders you expect to fill. You know exactly when the work has paid for itself.

  • Track design hours, trial prints, and timestamped notes
  • Graduate to lock dev cost into the floor price automatically
  • Dev cost amortized across your expected order count
  • See the exact moment the design work pays for itself

03 How it works

A real setup for
a real business.

Give yourself about 15–20 minutes. Oliver walks you through every step — and starts learning your shop from the first one.

01

Set up your shop.

Add your printers and set your costs. Oliver already knows your printer model's wear rate and maintenance schedule before you enter a single order.

~15–20 minutes
02

Build a product once.

Type in your filament and print time — or snap a photo of your slicer summary and let Oliver fill it in. PrintDeck shows your true floor on the spot, and every order reuses it.

Reused on every order
03

Log what you make.

Tell PrintDeck what you printed and sold. It keeps the books — inventory, costs, profit — and Oliver surfaces what's costing you money. You run the shop. He runs the numbers.

Gets smarter over time
04 Two ways to run it

Start simple.
Grow when you do.

Same Oliver, same floor-price math, same finances either way. The only question is how much of the floor you want to track.

Calculator Recommended · where most shops start

Everything you just saw — pricing, orders, inventory, records, Oliver — with minimal input. Tell PrintDeck what you made; it keeps the books. No per-spool tracking, no live queue to babysit. The fastest way to know you're making money.

Spool When you scale

Everything in Calculator, plus a live print queue and per-spool tracking — every spool, every gram, deadline-sorted. For shops that want the complete production record.

Start in Calculator. Move up to Spool whenever you want the live queue and per-spool detail — and drop back anytime.

05 PrintDeck does the thinking

PrintDeck does the thinking.
You make the call.

Once your shop is set up, the work goes quiet. Oliver watches the numbers, your orders move themselves, and the record keeps itself.

Oliver

Meet Oliver. He watches the shop
so you don't have to.

Oliver is PrintDeck's AI shop manager. He knows your products, your printers, your margins, and your order history — so when something's wrong, he doesn't just flag it, he hands you the fix and a one-tap action. Not a generic chatbot. He has your context.

  • Spots when one printer keeps failing on one filament — the pattern you logged but never saw
  • Flags a product that's underpriced or eating printer time — with the fix attached
  • Warns you before a print starts if you won't have enough filament
  • Notifies you when a plate is estimated done
  • Answers from your shop's real history — your printers, filament, and maintenance log
  • Ask him anything — he has the context to actually answer

Orders

Every order.
Every stage.
Nothing forgotten.

From received to delivered, every job moves through a clear pipeline — with payment tracked separately, so a delivered order and an unpaid invoice never get confused. Custom orders, wholesale batches, catalog sales — one view, always current.

  • Stage pipeline from Ordered through delivered — any order type
  • Customer names, deposits, payment terms, and due dates
  • Edit an order after the fact — change products, quantities, or lines
  • Overprinted? Extra units move straight into your inventory
  • Quick Sale to log a completed sale in seconds
Orders — every stage from Ordered to Shipped, customers and due dates
Record Payment — methods, partial collection, write-off
Components

Prints you build from parts? Log it once.

Some products are really five printed parts you assemble. Define the parts once. Print a batch of each, log it one time, and PrintDeck tracks how many finished products you can build — then assembles them automatically when an order comes in. Print in bulk; never re-count by hand.

  • Define a product's parts once
  • Print in bulk, log it once — PrintDeck remembers
  • It tracks how many finished products you can build from stock
  • Auto-assembles from parts when an order needs one
New Product — define a product's printed parts once
Buildable count + assemble from parts — 1 Head, 1 Body per build
The Record

You run the printer.
PrintDeck keeps the record.

No integrations, no plugins, no brand lock-in. You log what you printed — PrintDeck keeps the rest: inventory drawn down, costs updated, printer hours, maintenance, and failures. Your printer tells you when it needs maintenance; PrintDeck is where you keep the record.

  • Log a print — inventory, costs, and the order's stage update themselves
  • A print failed? Snap a photo — Oliver reads the reason
  • Maintenance, part-swaps, and notes — one clean timeline per printer
  • Your printer tells you it's time; PrintDeck remembers what you did
  • Want a live queue? Spool mode adds deadline-sorted production tracking
Log a failed print — snap a photo and Oliver reads the reason (stringing / support collapse) with the fix
Per-printer log — maintenance, part-swaps, notes, and the failure timeline
This is awesome, I had no idea what to charge for this new product for the toy store — and this was so helpful!

07 About

Built by a shop owner,
for shop owners.

I spent most of my career in public health — worked my way up from the bottom to a supervisor position before getting tapped to join our small OIT team at a 14-county health district. My life has always been about helping people. PrintDeck is just another extension of that part of me.

It started when my wife Kristen got a 3D printer for Christmas and kicked off a little shop. People started asking me for things too — but I have ADHD, and I kept forgetting orders, had no idea how to price anything, and nobody in the groups could help. So I opened a spreadsheet.

That spreadsheet became PrintDeck.

I handed it to my friend Spencer — he runs Thomasville Toys out of his house and was literally managing everything on a whiteboard. I told him to tell me what he actually thought, not what I wanted to hear. He didn't hold back. Turns out every shop owner is asking the same question: "Am I actually making money on this?"

PrintDeck answers that. And Oliver — our AI shop manager — makes sure you never have to ask twice. My wife named him at 3am, half asleep. He felt like an otter. Oliver was born.

We work out of our home. Two jack russells, two cats, and a cockatiel all help run the shop. Kristen puts up with us all — and she's the reason any of this exists.

PrintDeck started for me. I'm building it for you.

08 FAQ

Questions shop
owners ask us.

"What's the difference between Calculator and Spool mode?"

Calculator is pricing + orders + pool inventory — the simplest way to know your costs and stay organized, with no production logging. Spool mode adds full tracking: every spool, every print, a print queue, and forecasts. You pick one when you set up (most shops start in Calculator), and you can switch anytime. Same Oliver, same floor-price math, same finances either way — the only difference is how much of the floor you track.

"How do I know what to account for when pricing?"

PrintDeck's floor price formula includes filament cost, machine wear, labor time, post-processing, design amortization, bill of materials, and overhead. You can see every number that goes into it. If something's missing from your setup, Oliver will flag it.

"Is the slicer price accurate? Should I base my price on that?"

The slicer tells you how much filament a print uses — but that's just one piece of the cost. It doesn't account for machine wear, your labor, failed prints, post-processing, or overhead. PrintDeck takes the slicer's filament estimate and builds the full cost picture around it.

"How do I actually know if I'm making money?"

PrintDeck calculates the floor price — the minimum you should charge — for every product. If you sell above it, you're making money. If you sell below it, the app tells you down to the dollar. Your Finances page shows real revenue, real costs, and real profit for any time period.

"What printers does it work with?"

Any FDM printer. Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Voron, Elegoo, Anycubic, Artillery — if it prints filament, PrintDeck works with it. No integrations, no hardware connections, no brand lock-in required.

"What is Oliver, exactly?"

Oliver is an AI shop manager built into PrintDeck. He understands your specific shop — your products, your pricing, your printers, your order history. He watches for problems and surfaces them before they cost you money. He's not a generic chatbot. He knows your numbers.

"Is it free right now?"

Yes. PrintDeck is in alpha right now and free for the small group of shops actively using it. We've paused new signups while we harden the app — but the waitlist is open, and we'll email you the moment beta opens. Everyone on the waitlist gets free access during beta, plus permanent founder pricing when paid plans launch — a locked-in discount that never goes away. No credit card required.

"Does this connect to my printers? Is it a printer management tool?"

PrintDeck is a business manager, not a printer manager. It doesn't connect to or control your printers — no integrations, no software installs, no brand lock-in. You tell PrintDeck what you printed and when. PrintDeck handles the business side: costs, margins, order flow, and maintenance tracking.

Your spreadsheet can't tell you
when you're losing money.
PrintDeck can.

Beta is closed for hardening — but the waitlist is open.
Founder pricing locks in for life for everyone on the list.
