The problem

Four apps. None of them talk. You’re the glue.

You slice in Studio, start prints in Handy, buy labels in ShipStation, and track stock in your head. Nothing shares state — so you are the integration layer, re-keying orders, remembering what’s on the shelf, and guessing what to print next. Every task is a detour through another tab.

The bench way tap the orderBuy & Print

The print side collapses the same way — a tap starts a pinned design, no round-trip through Handy or Studio to find it and send it.

The idea

One loop that updates itself.

PrintToShip turns those four tools into a single loop. A sale reshuffles what to print. A finished plate books its own stock. You see all of it — and act on it — from the iPad or your phone.

Print · what nobody else does

Your farm plans its own day.

Print Next ranks what’s needed most — backorders first, then days of stock — and matches every row to the printer that already has the right filament loaded. Ready ones get a Start button; the rest say exactly what they’re waiting for. Come home to a plan, not a guess.

one-tap start, armed — **One tap arms, a second starts it** over Bambu cloud — from the bench, or your phone on the way out the door. No digging through Handy or Studio to find the design and send it — the button already knows what, where, and in which color.

Print · what nobody else does

It clears its own plate.

When a print finishes, a camera checks the bed. Two clear frames and the job books itself to stock and frees the machine for the next one — and it won’t fire onto a plate that isn’t actually clear. This is the part that runs while you’re not watching.

camera plate-check view — **The plate check Handy doesn’t offer.** Vision, not a timer — a cleared plate frees the machine; the operator can overrule, and corrections teach it. See how plate-check decides →

printer cards — running, finished, free — **The whole farm, a row each.** Running, finished-but-not-cleared, or free — and the moment a finished plate is cleared, its print books to stock and the machine re-enters the queue.

A day in the loop

From sold to shipped, without the tab-juggling.

The same four tabs you know — but each step hands off to the next instead of waiting for you to carry it across.

An order lands

Pulled from ShipStation and already sitting in the print queue if you’re short — with a new-order ping to the bench.

It prints and collects itself

The plate finishes, the camera clears it, and stock books back up — no checkbox, no note-to-self.

Pack & ship in two taps

Box and weight pre-fill from the catalog; one tap buys the USPS label and prints it with a slip that says who, what, which color — not the listing’s keyword-stuffed title.

Nothing’s forgotten on the bench

Every printed label waits in Drop-off until USPS actually scans it — then the row clears itself. The two-day-old one turns amber before a customer asks.

Buy and Print — **Buy & Print.** Weight from the scale, postage estimated live, one green button — the two-tap payoff.

sold vs printed vs on hand — **Stock is the brain.** The same numbers that rank the queue: 2 sold, 2 printed, −2 on hand — and the reprint’s already in flight.

No rip-and-replace

Built on the tools you already trust.

ShipStation still buys the postage. Handy and Studio are still there for the advanced cases. Your orders and print history stay native — PrintToShip just removes the tab-juggling between them.

What it’s not: not a slicer, not a storefront, not another silo to keep in sync.

Built where it’s used: run on a working farm every day — not a mockup, not a deck.
