Dashboard Guide
This guide explains how to use the My3DMonitor dashboard in plain language so makers and small print farms can track production, costs, and profit with confidence.
1. Dashboard main page
The main dashboard gives an overview of your account, connected printers, and printer quota based on your plan.
- Printer ID: Unique ID of each registered printer.
- Status: Helps you see if a printer is active.
- Timezone: Used for daily aggregation and reports.
- Last Seen: Last time the agent sent data.
- Agent Version: Installed printer-agent version.
2. CostInputs tab
The CostInputs tab defines the parameters used to calculate the real production cost of your prints.
Configure these values carefully before production analysis:
- filament cost per kg
- printer power consumption (`printer_kW`)
- electricity rate (`power_kwh_rate`)
- maintenance cost per hour
- labor cost per hour
- overhead percentage
- currency
3. Filename print list
This page aggregates prints by filename and is your main production analysis area. Use it to understand which parts are produced most, how much they cost, and which ones are profitable.
Key editable columns:
- `SKU_code`
- `selling_price`
- `successful` prints
- `failed` prints
Calculated columns such as `total_cost`, `Profit_unit`, and `Profit_total` update based on your print and cost data.
4. Printer tabs
Each printer has a dedicated tab with raw events sent by the agent, such as `print_started` and `print_finished`.
- Timestamp
- Event type
- Filename
- Duration (minutes)
- Filament used (grams)
- Material
- Printer ID
Use these tabs mainly to verify incoming data and troubleshoot print activity.
