Printer Bridge

Printer Bridge is a small, open-source program you run on a shop computer that can reach your printers. It reads Klipper (Moonraker) status and reports it to your 3D Job Desk over outbound HTTPS only — it never opens a port, and it will not contact public IPs.

  1. Download and run the program for this computer.
  2. Sign in to your desk and open Printers → Create pairing code.
  3. Paste the code into Printer Bridge. It stays running and reports printer status.

Security

  • Outbound HTTPS only. It never listens for inbound connections.
  • Refuses to contact public IP addresses or cloud metadata endpoints.
  • Only reads Moonraker printer status. It cannot send G-code or start prints.
  • Pairing codes are single-use and expire in 15 minutes.
  • Disconnect any paired computer any time from Printers.

Privacy — what Printer Bridge stores and sends

Printer Bridge is a small local program, not a service that collects analytics. It stores and sends only:

  • A device name (defaults to the computer's hostname) and a random device ID/secret pair, generated on first pairing and stored only on that computer, used solely to authenticate to your own desk.
  • The printer status Moonraker reports (state, progress, temperatures, filename) — forwarded to your desk over HTTPS. It never leaves your desk's account.
  • Nothing else: no analytics, no telemetry to a third party, no personal data beyond what your desk already has.

You can revoke any paired computer from Printers at any time, which deletes its device secret from your desk. This page covers the bridge program specifically; see the full 3D Job Desk privacy policy and terms of service for the website and desk account.
