正在寻找 Prusa Connect 的替代方案?

Prusa Connect is Prusa Research's own cloud for Prusa printers, and it has come a long way: it now has a free EasyPrint cloud slicer, native iOS and Android apps, real 1080p camera streaming, teams with roles, and 2FA. If your shop is 100% Prusa, it's a genuinely good, free, first-party way to run it, and it's made by the people who made your printers, hosted in the EU.

The catch is in the name: Prusa Connect. It manages Prusa hardware and nothing else, no Bambu, no Klipper, no Creality, no generic Marlin, and older Prusas need a Raspberry Pi to join. The day you add a printer from another brand, you need a platform that speaks all of them. That's SimplyPrint, and it adds the farm-grade automation, AI and shop-floor tools Prusa Connect doesn't. Here's a fair, side-by-side look.

Best known for Hobbyist Print farm
结论

Prusa Connect is the best free cloud for an all-Prusa shop. It's first-party, deeply integrated, EU/GDPR-hosted, and now ships a cloud slicer, native apps, teams and 2FA, so the old "it's missing everything" story no longer holds. If every printer you own is a Prusa and you want free and official, it's an easy yes.

SimplyPrint is the platform for everyone else, and for mixed and growing farms. It has been running real print farms since 2020, runs Prusa and Bambu, Klipper/Moonraker, Marlin (incl. USB), Duet and OctoPrint natively, and adds AI failure detection with AI bed-check, AutoPrint continuous printing, full filament inventory with NFC and label printing, a maintenance system and a dedicated education plan. If you run any non-Prusa printer, or want farm automation Prusa Connect doesn't have, SimplyPrint is the better fit.

One brand vs every brand you own

Prusa Connect is built for Prusa hardware, full stop. SimplyPrint runs Prusa just as happily, and every other major brand alongside it, so the platform never decides which printers you're allowed to buy next.

Printer support
SimplyPrint
Bambu, Klipper/Moonraker, Marlin (incl. USB/serial), Prusa, Duet and OctoPrint are all first-class - mix any of them in one fleet.
Prusa Connect
Prusa printers only. No Bambu, Klipper, Creality, Anycubic or Duet, and no generic Marlin. Add another brand and Prusa Connect simply can't see it.
Older printers
SimplyPrint
Connect older and USB-only machines directly, no extra hardware required.
Prusa Connect
Newer Prusas (MK4/MK4S, CORE One, XL, MINI+) connect natively, but the older MK3S+ needs a Raspberry Pi running PrusaLink to join.
Prusa itself
SimplyPrint
Runs Prusa printers natively, with the same queue, slicer, AI and filament tools as the rest of your fleet.
Prusa Connect
Deepest possible Prusa integration, telemetry, firmware updates, official cameras, because it's made by Prusa. For an all-Prusa shop, that's a real plus.
If you're certain you'll only ever run Prusa, Connect's single-brand focus is fine. If your fleet is mixed, or might be one day, SimplyPrint runs all of it, Prusa included.

Where Prusa Connect makes sense

Prusa Connect has closed a lot of its old gaps, and for an all-Prusa shop a few things genuinely land. Credit where it's due:

Free & first-party
SimplyPrint
Paid platform (2 printers free), built to run every brand.
Prusa Connect
Free for Prusa owners, with a generous free tier (real 1080p livestream and the EasyPrint cloud slicer at no cost), and it's the official tool from the company that built your printer.
Made in the EU, by the maker
SimplyPrint
EU and US data centres, GDPR-compliant.
Prusa Connect
Hosted by Prusa Research in the Czech Republic, an EU company with a strong "made in EU" story, genuine parity with us on data residency.
Caught up on the basics
SimplyPrint
Has all of this too, across every brand.
Prusa Connect
Now ships a free cloud slicer (EasyPrint), native iOS/Android apps, teams with roles, and 2FA, the "it's missing features" gap has narrowed a lot.
For an all-Prusa shop that wants free, official and EU-hosted, Prusa Connect is a fair pick, and it's no longer the bare-bones tool it once was. The case for SimplyPrint is breadth (any brand) and depth (farm automation, AI, filament and maintenance), not that they're missing the basics.

Farm automation and the shop floor

Prusa Connect monitors and controls your Prusa fleet well. Where SimplyPrint pulls ahead is the production layer: keeping printers running unattended, catching failures, and tracking filament and upkeep.

Unattended printing
SimplyPrint
The queue auto-assigns and auto-starts jobs; AutoPrint and FarmLoop keep the farm running lights-out, with AI failure detection and an AI bed-check before each job.
Prusa Connect
Has a per-printer queue and a paid Farm beta with job planning and roles, but no AI failure detection and no continuous/auto-eject printing: a person still confirms ("Set Ready") each finished bed before the next job starts.
Filament & upkeep
SimplyPrint
Full filament inventory (stock, cost, locations), NFC tag read and write, label printing, and a maintenance system with schedules and spare-part tracking.
Prusa Connect
Tracks filament usage and stats, but there's no spool inventory, no NFC and no maintenance/servicing system.
Teams & classrooms
SimplyPrint
Multi-user roles and SSO, plus a dedicated education plan built for schools.
Prusa Connect
Has teams and per-user roles, and Prusa runs a serious education program (discounts, Prusa Academy, thousands of schools), but Prusa Connect itself has no SSO and no dedicated education plan for the software.
For an all-Prusa shop that just needs monitoring and remote control, Prusa Connect is plenty. For a farm or a school that wants automation, AI, filament tooling and SSO, SimplyPrint is the deeper platform.

Prusa Connect与SimplyPrint对比

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 Prusa Connect as well!

使用 Prusa Connect 的优点

Prusa Connect has real strengths, and they're worth being honest about:

  • Free for Prusa owners, with a generous free tier (1080p livestream and a cloud slicer at no cost).
  • Deepest Prusa integration: made by Prusa, with telemetry, firmware updates and official cameras.
  • EU/GDPR: hosted by an EU company, a solid "made in EU" data-residency story.
  • EasyPrint cloud slicer: free in-browser/in-app slicing on Prusa's servers.
  • Caught up on basics: native iOS/Android apps, teams with roles, 2FA and a print queue all shipped.

使用Prusa Connect的缺点

Where Prusa Connect runs into a ceiling:

  • Prusa printers only: no Bambu, Klipper, Creality, Anycubic, Duet or generic Marlin, and the older MK3S+ needs a Raspberry Pi.
  • No AI failure detection and no AI bed-check.
  • No continuous printing: a per-printer queue and a Farm beta, but no AutoPrint-style lights-out automation.
  • Filament is usage-tracking only: no spool inventory, no NFC, no label printing.
  • No maintenance system, no SSO and no dedicated education plan.

Prusa Connect VS SimplyPrint:常见问题解答

Is Prusa Connect or SimplyPrint better?

If your shop is 100% Prusa and you want a free, official, EU-hosted tool, Prusa Connect is excellent, and it now has a cloud slicer, native apps, teams and 2FA, so it's no longer bare-bones. SimplyPrint is the better fit if you run any non-Prusa printer, have a mixed or growing farm, or want AI failure detection, AutoPrint continuous printing, filament inventory with NFC, a maintenance system or a dedicated education plan.

Does Prusa Connect support non-Prusa printers?

No. Prusa Connect manages Prusa printers only, there's no support for Bambu, Klipper/Moonraker, Creality, Anycubic, Duet or generic Marlin, and the older MK3S+ needs a Raspberry Pi running PrusaLink to connect. SimplyPrint runs Prusa natively and Bambu, Klipper/Moonraker, Marlin (incl. USB), Duet and OctoPrint in the same fleet.

Does Prusa Connect have a slicer?

Yes, now it does: EasyPrint is a free cloud slicer (server-side PrusaSlicer) you can use in the browser and in the mobile app, though it exposes only a handful of high-level settings. SimplyPrint also offers a full interactive in-browser slicer across multiple engines, alongside automatic headless slicing (see our Prusa Easy Print vs SimplyPrint comparison).

Does Prusa Connect do AI failure detection or continuous printing?

No. Prusa Connect has live 1080p camera streaming and a per-printer queue (plus a Farm beta), but no AI/computer-vision failure detection and no continuous (lights-out) printing, you still confirm each finished bed yourself. SimplyPrint adds AI failure detection, an AI bed-check, and AutoPrint continuous printing across the whole fleet.

Is Prusa Connect free?

Yes, Prusa Connect is free for Prusa owners, including remote access, the EasyPrint cloud slicer and 1080p streaming; a paid Prusa subscription adds extra cloud storage. SimplyPrint gives 2 printers free and scales on a flat plan that runs every brand, with volume discounts at farm size.

Does Prusa Connect manage filament and maintenance?

Prusa Connect tracks filament usage and statistics, but it has no spool inventory, no NFC tag read/write and no label printing, and no maintenance/servicing system. SimplyPrint includes a full filament inventory with NFC read/write and label printing, plus a maintenance system with schedules and spare-part tracking.

What's the best alternative to Prusa Connect for a mixed-brand farm?

If your fleet has anything beyond Prusa, SimplyPrint is the natural alternative: it runs Prusa natively and Bambu, Klipper/Moonraker, Marlin (incl. USB), Duet and OctoPrint in one farm, with AI failure detection, AutoPrint continuous printing and filament inventory. SimplyPrint has been running real print farms since 2020, so the farm tooling (queue auto-assign, staggered start, maintenance) is built for production, not bolted on.

Conclusion
Why SimplyPrint is the Top Prusa Connect Alternative

我们打造SimplyPrint,是因为市面上没有一款产品能真正满足我们的需求。我们想要一个易于使用、同时功能齐全的平台。我们希望它功能丰富、直观易用,拥有出色的用户体验,并在3D打印管理软件领域实现真正的创新。

总而言之,我们(谦逊而公正,就像我们一直标榜的那样😉)认为SimplyPrint平台是Prusa Connect的绝佳替代方案!
