3DQue's AutoFarm3D is built around one genuinely strong idea: true lights-out printing. Pair it with their auto-eject hardware kits and QuinlyVision AI, and a printer can finish a job, clear its own bed, and start the next one with nobody in the room. If hands-off continuous printing on a Marlin or Bambu fleet is the thing you need most, it's a clever, purpose-built tool, and we mean that.
But a print farm needs more than an automation engine. It has to run whatever printers you actually own, slice your files, track filament and maintenance, and support a team. AutoFarm3D is deliberately narrow, Marlin 2 and Bambu based (plus Marlin-family Prusa and Creality), with no Klipper today, OctoPrint or Duet, runs on a local hub, and has no built-in slicer or education tooling. That broader job is where SimplyPrint lives, while still doing AI detection and continuous printing. Here's a fair, side-by-side look.
3DQue AutoFarm3D is a brilliant continuous-printing appliance. Its auto-eject hardware plus QuinlyVision AI deliver genuine hands-free, lights-out printing, and that physical bed-clearing is something SimplyPrint (which orchestrates automation in software) doesn't replicate in a kit. If true auto-ejection on a Marlin/Bambu fleet is your priority, it's purpose-built for it.
SimplyPrint is the broader platform, and it's been running print farms since 2020. It runs your whole farm, Klipper/Moonraker, OctoPrint, Duet, Prusa and Bambu, not just two firmwares, and adds a full interactive cloud slicer, NFC filament inventory with label printing, a maintenance system, multi-user roles with SSO, native iOS/Android apps and EU/US data residency, while still doing AI failure detection, an AI bed-check and AutoPrint continuous printing. For most farms it's the more complete pick; for some, the two are genuinely complementary.

Recensione indipendente
Their comparison video was recorded in 2025, so treat the specific numbers as a little dated, but the conclusion is theirs.
Read how they run their farm on SimplyPrintAutoFarm3D connects Marlin 2 printers and Bambu Lab machines, and that's the list. SimplyPrint runs those too, plus the rest of what real farms are built on.
We respect what 3DQue built, their automation is the real thing, and SimplyPrint doesn't try to match the hardware side of it. Credit where it's due:
AutoFarm3D is focused on getting prints off beds automatically. SimplyPrint adds the rest of the operation around it, from catching failures to filament, teams and apps.
Nothing is black-and-white, and there are always pros and cons to consider when choosing a 3D printing cloud solution!
And we're not here to simply tell you, that SimplyPrint is the best - we want you to make an informed decision, and of course there are pros of using 3DQue AutoFarm3D as well!

SimplyPrint è nato dal fatto che nessun altro prodotto sul mercato rispondeva pienamente alle nostre esigenze. Volevamo una piattaforma facile da usare, ma che avesse comunque tutte le funzionalità necessarie. Volevamo una piattaforma ricca di funzionalità, intuitiva e facile da usare, con un'ottima esperienza utente e una vera innovazione nel settore del software di gestione della stampa 3D.
In sintesi, per quanto ci riguarda (umili e imparziali come siamo 😉), la piattaforma SimplyPrint è un'ottima alternativa a 3DQue AutoFarm3D!
