π Why use Requeueing?
Imagine finishing a print and immediately starting the next one without re-slicing or re-uploading. With Premium, your print history isn't just a logβit's a library. You can instantly "Requeue" any successful job from the past.
- β± Save Time: No need to find the original STL or G-code file on your computer.
- π¦ Batch Production: Print the same successful object 5, 10, or 50 times with one click.
- π‘ Fail-Safe: If a print fails, restart it instantly from the cloud without touching your slicer.
How to Requeue a Print
Navigate to your Printers tab and select the printer.
Click Manage in the top right.
The History tab is selected by default. Find the print job you want to run again.
Click the 3 dot menu in the "Control" column: On the right side of the job row, then, click "Requeue Job".
Confirm the printer destination. The job will instantly move to the active Queue of that printer.
Pro Tip: You can queue the same job multiple times to create a production run. The printer will simply ask for the bed to be cleared between each job.
