Actively monitor and correct for failures
Teams often print many parts on one tray; one failure can waste the whole run. Gwaith is OctoPrint-based software that tracks each part, watches the job, and can stop only what’s failing—after safety checks—so the rest of the plate still completes.

Contact usWhat we’re solving—and how.
If you’re new to 3D printing: a “job” can be dozens of separate parts on one tray. Today the workflow is fragile; we’re making it controllable at the level of each part.
The problem
Multi-part printing is efficient until one corner warps or a support fails. Most stacks don’t let you act on a single part safely—so teams abort the full run, lose material and machine hours, and learn the same lessons over again without structured records.
Our solution
Gwaith v0 gives operators a live view of the plate, ties it to the underlying print file, and can automatically exclude just the failing object after policy checks—so good parts keep printing. It meets teams where they already are: FDM printers managed with OctoPrint.
Where we’re headed
A single place for visibility, safety policy, and automation as additive manufacturing scales from prototypes to real throughput—in the lab, on the farm, and on the factory floor.
Get the highlights.
Object-aware control
Map G-code to individual parts on the bed so interventions line up with real objects, not one opaque job stream.
Live operations view
Camera, bed layout, and status in one operator-focused console tuned for multi-object FDM runs.
Policy before commands
Suggested exclusions flow through safety policy and logging so production teams can trust what gets sent to the printer.
How Gwaith runs a multi-object job
Under the hood it’s the same story: map the plate, watch each part, intervene with guardrails. Built for people who run printers like production equipment, not hobby projects.
Map the job
Gwaith ingests G-code, maps objects on the bed, and ties each object to addressable objects on the plate for safe control.
Watch and detect
Live camera, bed view, and status monitoring link what the camera sees to specific parts on the plate, so anomalies are tracked per object.
Exclude automatically, within policy
When a part is failing, Gwaith automatically issues a per-object exclusion that passes backend safety checks, keeping the rest of the job running.
Built for operators running real jobs
Gwaith v0 is operations software on OctoPrint, designed for teams who treat FDM printers like production equipment.
Live operations console
See camera, bed layout, and status in one OctoPrint view, tuned for multi-object jobs.
What it does: Gives operators a focused console for the current plate, not a generic dashboard.
Object-aware G-code mapping
Treats each object as its own unit instead of one undifferentiated job.
What it does: Maintains a mapping from G-code back to individual parts on the bed.
Automatic per-part exclusion
Canceling the entire plate wastes good parts and time.
What it does: Automatically excludes failing objects under safety policy, while the rest of the print keeps running.
AI plus safety policy
“Black box” automations are hard to trust on production hardware.
What it does: Uses AI to detect failures and trigger exclusions, but gates behavior through backend safety rules and firmware-aware checks.
Incident history and review
Without records, teams repeat the same failures across plates and shifts.
What it does: Logs anomalies, exclusions, and actions so teams can review and tune jobs over time.
Operator tools, not just AI
Generic AI copilots ignore the realities of standing in front of a printer.
What it does: Pairs AI with manual controls, calibration helpers, and views built around operator workflows.
See every job. Learn from every incident.
Gwaith treats every job as an operational record, not just a video stream.
Live status across runs
View current progress, objects at risk, and recent interventions for active jobs from a single console.
Incident timelines
Track when anomalies appear, when suggestions were made, and when exclusions were executed.
Per-object history
See how often specific object types or layouts cause trouble and which interventions usually resolve them.
Shared context for teams
Capture notes and context so shifts and operators work from the same understanding of each incident.
Made for teams who run printers like production equipment.
High-volume multi-plate runs
Protect uptime and material on printers running mixed-SKU multi-object jobs, with multi-printer and farm views on the roadmap.
Frequent design changes
Keep complex plates running while individual prototypes fail, iterate, and improve.
Fixtures, jigs, and parts
Run FDM as part of a real process, where failed parts still carry real cost and delay.
FAQ
What is Gwaith?
An operator tool for FDM (plastic filament) printers using OctoPrint: camera and status in one place, print file tied to each part on the bed, and optional automatic “skip this part only” behavior when something fails—with logging and safety checks so production teams can trust it.
Does Gwaith run the printer by itself?
No. Gwaith v0 does not promise full autonomy. It automatically excludes failed objects on multi-part jobs within safety policy, but operators stay in control of printers and workflows.
How does Gwaith keep interventions safe?
Before any exclusion is sent, Gwaith checks backend safety policies and the object mapping for the job. Only exclusions that pass those checks are executed, and all actions are logged for review.
