3d Printer Simulator
A downloadable game
3D Printer Simulator provides a virtual FDM printer whose motions mirror a physical machine. Slice any model yourself and watch every stage of the build.
Preview how different slicing settings will affect the print before you waste filament.
Explore how an FDM printer works—handle every step from model to slicing to the finished object.
- Cozy warehouse setting
watch the printer run in a realistic workshop environment. - Free-roaming camera
pan, tilt, and zoom to study each layer; adjust lighting and nozzle transparency for a clearer view. - G-code support
load prepared G-code files or slice your own models; the virtual printer currently emulates an Ender 3. - Quality-of-life controls
change print speed, skip ahead in time, and more.
- Precisely models nozzle diameter, head position, retraction, filament flow volume, and more.
- Reproduces Bowden pressure lag, visible layer lines, and other common print artifacts.
- More printer geometries: CoreXY, delta, upside-down, and additional layouts, plus multi-color printing.
- Expanded filament palette: more colors and surface textures.
- Richer artifact simulation: Z-wobble, stringing, rough overhangs, and other nuances.
- Utility integration: print via OctoPrint and similar tools.
- Advanced tech: from metal additive manufacturing to full-scale 3D-printed houses.
- Photography tools: capture time-lapse videos and export GLTF files.

any way to do direct drive?
running program, but all I see the head moving and nothing printing. I loaded the default GCode and it just looks like it is calibrating the whole time.
Ha, this is pretty neat. I loaded in my own design and am watching it print right now. So cool... not a huge fan of the sound effects though.
This looks really cool and I'll definitely be trying it. Any thoughts on surface "ironing", or different types of material? (Say... TPU...)
Any thoughts on VR support?
