About Nozzlet Works
What is Nozzlet Works?
Business software for small 3D print shops. It works out what every print really costs, keeps track of filament and supplies, schedules jobs around your waking hours, reminds you about maintenance, and follows each job from quote to finished order.
Who is it for?
Home-based makers and small print shops that sell what they print, from a single printer on the side to a small print farm. If you print a few things for yourself now and then, you probably don't need it yet. If pricing, stock, and printer time affect your income, it's built for you.
Does it replace my spreadsheet?
That's the idea. Nozzlet Works started as a costing spreadsheet for a home print shop and uses the same approach: filament, electricity, printer wear, maintenance, overhead, labour, and a failed-print reserve. See Why not a spreadsheet?
Can I bring my data over from a spreadsheet?
Not yet. Importing your products, customers, orders, and inventory (filaments and supplies) from a CSV or Excel file is planned, with a template to start from and a preview that highlights any problems before anything is saved. Exporting will work the same way.
Does it connect to my printers or slicer?
Not yet. At launch, Nozzlet Works doesn't connect to printers or slicer software, so it works with any brand or model. You enter the grams and build time your slicer gives you, and Works does the rest. Connecting to printers and slicers is on our roadmap.
Does it work with resin printers?
Nozzlet Works is being built for filament (FDM) printing first, because that's how most small shops start. Resin support is on our list. If you print resin, join early access and tell us what you need.
Features
How does it work out a price?
For each product, you enter the printer, the filaments and grams used, build time, parts per plate, and hands-on minutes. Works adds up filament (with a waste allowance), electricity, printer wear, maintenance, overhead, labour, and a failed-print reserve, then suggests a price based on your target margin, never below your minimum charge. You can always set your own price.
Can I track quotes and orders?
Yes. Build a quote with suggested prices and private notes. When the customer accepts, turn it into an order in one click. Every detail carries over, the jobs go onto your calendar, and stock updates as jobs are finished. Sending quotes to customers as a PDF or email link is coming.
Does it handle taxes?
Yes. Enter prices with or without tax, and Works removes tax before working out your profit. Tax settings are available for Canadian provinces and US states.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Nozzlet Works runs in your web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone. There's nothing to install.
Can my staff use it?
Not yet. Staff accounts are planned for Shop (2 staff accounts) and Farm (10), with each person signing in with their own account.
Can I take payments through Nozzlet Works?
No. Your customers pay you directly, however you already get paid. Works lets you mark orders as unpaid, deposit paid, or paid for your own records. Nozzlet never takes a cut of your sales.
Does it work with Etsy or Shopify?
Not at launch. Bringing in orders automatically from Etsy, then Shopify and WooCommerce, is the next feature we're planning after launch.
Your data
Is my business information private?
Yes. Your costs, prices, inventory, orders, and customer records are private to your business and the staff you invite. Nothing appears on the Nozzlet directory unless you choose it. We don't sell your data or use it to train AI. See our Privacy policy.
Where is my data stored?
In Canada, in a secure data centre in Toronto.
Can I get my data out?
Exporting your records is coming. Once it's here, you'll be able to export any time while your plan is active.
What happens to my data if I stop paying or cancel?
Your access is paused, but your records are kept for 12 months in case you come back. We'll email you 30, 15, and 5 days before anything is deleted. Bring your plan up to date any time before then and everything will be right where you left it.
Plans and pricing
Is there a free plan?
Yes, free forever, with every core feature and limits of 1 printer, 5 products, and 10 inventory items. See Pricing.
What's a founding member?
Everyone who joins early access. Founding members get 30% off their first year of Maker, Shop, or Farm.
What's the Nozzlet directory, and why is a plan included?
Nozzlet is a directory where local customers search for 3D printing shops. Paid Works plans include a directory plan (Maker includes Starter, Shop includes Pro, Farm includes Premium), so customers can find you and, on Shop and Farm, get automatic quotes based on your real costs.
Where is Nozzlet Works available?
Canada and the United States. Canadian shops pay in Canadian dollars and US shops in US dollars.
Is it available in French?
Not yet. Nozzlet Works is in English for now, and French is planned after launch.
Early access
When can I start using it?
Nozzlet Works is in early access. Join the list and we'll invite founding members in small groups as it's ready.
What does early access involve?
You'll get Nozzlet Works before anyone else, and we'll ask what's working and what's missing. Features may change as we build, based on what you tell us.
