Connect Your Printer to Neome Cloud

This guide shows how to connect your 3D printer using the generated client_id.

1. Create Your Client ID

Click GENERATE at the top of this page, or enter your own client_id.

Use the same client_id in the printer connector configuration.

2. Install Python

Download Python from the official website:

⬇ Download Python

Windows: during install, check Add Python to PATH
macOS / iOS: iPhone and iPad cannot run the connector directly. Use a Mac, Windows PC, Linux machine, or Raspberry Pi.
Linux: install Python using your package manager if it is not already installed.

3. Download the Printer Connector

⬇ Download NEOME_PRINTER.zip

Extract the ZIP anywhere on your computer.

Folder Structure

				NEOME_PRINTER/

				├─ jobs/

				├─ printers/

				├─ neome_printer.py

				└─ requirements.txt

4. Add Your Printer

Create a JSON file inside the printers folder.

				{

				  "ip": "",

				  "code": "",

				  "serial": "",

				  "api": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"

				}

ip, code, and serial come from your printer.
api must be the same client_id shown at the top of this page.

5. Start the Connector

Open a terminal or command prompt inside the NEOME_PRINTER folder.

First time setup

Windows:

				cd NEOME_PRINTER

				py -m venv .venv

				.venv\Scripts\activate

				pip install -r requirements.txt

				python neome_printer.py

macOS / Linux:

				cd NEOME_PRINTER

				python3 -m venv .venv

				source .venv/bin/activate

				pip install -r requirements.txt

				python3 neome_printer.py

Next time you start it

Windows:

				cd NEOME_PRINTER

				.venv\Scripts\activate

				python neome_printer.py

macOS / Linux:

				cd NEOME_PRINTER

				source .venv/bin/activate

				python3 neome_printer.py

Once running, your printer should automatically appear on this page within a few seconds.

Done

Once the connector is running, your printer will automatically appear on this page.

How This Page Works

This page shows every printer connected with the same client_id. When your connector is running, your printer appears here automatically.

ONLINE means the printer is connected and ready.
SEND uploads a print file to that printer.
CANCEL stops the current print when available.
PUT ONLINE unlocks the printer after a print is finished.
Log shows live messages between the page, cloud, connector, and printer.

What Is Setting 3MF?

Setting 3MF is a tiny saved print profile for one machine. It stores the printer model, plate type, nozzle, filament slots, and print settings you want to reuse.

To create one, make a simple cube in your slicer and set the cube size to:

				0.01 × 0.01 × 0.01 mm
			

Then choose all the settings you want to reuse for similar prints. Export it as:

				setting.3mf
			

This makes printing easier: one setting file per machine, many prints using the same trusted setup.

Printer Information Explained

Status: shows if the printer is online, offline, or busy.
Printer state: live printer state, such as READY or PRINTING.
Progress: current print progress.
Time left: estimated remaining print time.
Model: printer model detected by the connector.
Firmware: printer firmware version.
Nozzle / Bed / Chamber temp: live temperatures.
Nozzle info: nozzle size and type.
AMS: filament system information if available.
Hardware: machine size, nozzle, and plate from the setting file.
Filament: filament slots detected from the setting file.

Dear Louis,

Thank you sincerely for standing up for creators, open systems, and user freedom.

I have now built a complete Printer Hub and distributed slicer platform designed to reduce wasted time, simplify 3D printing workflows, and help reduce unnecessary plastic waste one print at a time.

This project demonstrates that powerful community-driven infrastructure can exist independently, transparently, and efficiently without relying entirely on large centralized providers.

I am currently working on standalone Windows, macOS, and Linux connector binaries that the community will be able to run easily on their own machines or servers. The goal is to create a fully distributed slicing network where people can voluntarily contribute compute resources to help accelerate slicing for everyone.

I truly believe this model can empower makers while keeping the ecosystem open, collaborative, and accessible.

With appreciation,
Philippe Benoît
