Working with Gantry

Getting started with Gantry.

Add your printers, check their status and pick the view that suits you. Local monitoring needs no Gantry account.

01At a glance

At a glance

No account: Gantry talks to your printers directly on the local network. No Gantry account is needed.
Three views: The menu bar or tray, the fleet window and a slim panel at the edge of the screen.
All together: Bambu Lab, Klipper, PrusaLink, Elegoo, Anycubic and Snapmaker in one list.

02Step by step

Add a printer
Start Gantry and choose “Add printer…”. Pick the device type, then use discovery or enter the address manually.
Enter the credentials
Access code, serial number, API key or password — depending on the printer. Codes are kept in your system’s key storage.
Check the card
Save and check the status on the printer card. “Offline” means there is no live connection, not an empty queue.
Open the details
You will see temperatures, filament and the camera, if the printer provides one.
Set the look
In Settings → Appearance choose the Basic or Modern template, the theme and what the cards show.

03Good to know

Not every printer exposes the same data and commands. Status can work even when the firmware refuses control — Gantry shows those refusals.
Leaving the access code empty when editing a printer keeps the saved code.
If you only want a status view, turn on LITE mode — a reduced view without the extra modules.

macOS, Windows and Linux. No Gantry account, open source.
