Getting started
- Getting started with Nozzlet Works
From an empty shop to your first priced product and finished print: your rates and taxes, a printer, a filament, a plate, a product with its price, then a job on the schedule.
- Words used in Works
What plates, jobs, spools, landed cost and the other words in Works mean, and where everything is in the menu.
- The demo shop
A complete sample print shop you can try everything in, without setting anything up. What's in it, and how it works.
Costing and pricing
- How Works costs a print
What goes into a plate's cost, how it's shared between the items on the plate, and how bought and assembled items are costed.
- Setting prices and margins
Suggested prices from your target margin, your retail price, the price calculator, and ranking products by what they earn.
- Taxes
Set up the sales taxes you charge, which apply to retail and wholesale prices, and the purchase taxes you pay and don't get back.
- Wholesale
Add a wholesale price to a product and see your profit at retail, your profit at wholesale, and the retailer's profit side by side.
Production
- Printers
Each printer's costs, hours and availability, the spools loaded in its slots, its nozzles, and proposed printers you're thinking of buying.
- Plates
Save each print setup once: printer, build time, filament and what it yields. Mixed plates, nozzles, duplicating, and one-off plates from Quick job.
- The schedule and Find a time
Plan every printer on one calendar around your waking hours: add jobs, let Find a time suggest the best slot, and drag jobs to move them.
- Starting and finishing a job
The start checklist (what's loaded, what the plate needs, nozzles), then recording what came off the plate and the filament used.
- Maintenance
Keep printers serviced by print hours or by date: tasks that repeat, what's due, the parts you use, and a log of the work done.
Stock
- Inventory and packs
One inventory for filament, supplies, printed parts and services: adding items, packs and boxes that break down, stock actions, reorder levels and history.
- Filament and spools
Every roll is a numbered spool with its grams left: opening, loading, weighing and drying them, where they are, and what upcoming jobs will use.
- Suppliers and purchase orders
Track where you buy and what you've ordered, so the real shipping, fees and taxes on each bill go into your costs. Receiving, backorders and landed cost.
Sales
- Quick job
Ring up a walk-in sale while the customer waits: products or a one-off print from the slicer, rush and services, who it's for, payment and change, then schedule the print.
- Quotes and orders
Price a job with a quote, turn it into an order with one click, and track the order from confirmed to completed: lines, payment, shipping, print jobs and stock.
- Invoices, receipts and credit notes
Issue numbered invoices and receipts from an order, print or email them, void and reissue, and give refunds or corrections with credit notes. Maker plan and up.
- Customers and payment methods
Your private customer list, each customer's quotes and orders, and the ways your customers pay you.
- Reports
Sales and tax for your returns, sales by item and by customer, print loss, and CSV downloads for your accountant.
Your shop
- The Dashboard
Your shop's check engine light: All good, or what needs attention now and soon, plus what's printing, next on each printer, and coming up.
- Your directory listing, messages and reviews
Run your listing on Nozzlet's directory from inside Works: switch it on or off, edit it, see its views, and answer messages and reviews.
- Plans and billing
The Free, Maker, Shop and Farm plans and their limits, upgrading, your card and invoices, what happens if a payment fails or you cancel, and inactive accounts.
- Settings
Your business details, costing rates, schedule and pricing settings, taxes, storage locations, payment methods, and invoices and receipts.
