Print remains attached
Measure the print. Build the recovery file. Use Safe Resume Homing, then paper-test the nozzle before you lock the position.
Failed print recovery
Finish your failed 3D print instead of starting over.
3DPrintSaver.com finds where the print stopped, rebuilds the rest of the G-code, and helps you line the nozzle back up. It can even help when the printer lost its position or the print came off the bed.
Works with OctoPrint, Klipper through Moonraker, and Bambu Lab*.
*Bambu is in beta testing: single-material prints still attached to the bed, with power and position retained.
$5.99/month or $29/year for the web, Android, and OctoPrint versions. Renews until canceled.
The Windows app is available from Microsoft Store without subscription checkout.
Loose print recovery
Print came off the bed? It may still be saveable.
3DPrintSaver.com makes a landing pad and alignment guides. Put the print back in place, line it up, secure it, and finish it.
- Make a guide for the old print.
- Check the sides before you lock it in.
- Confirm the position before you resume.

Watch 3DPrintSaver.com recover a stuck-to-bed failed print
Two-minute Android recovery walkthrough
This demonstration begins with filament-runout detection intentionally disabled, leaving a partially completed print stuck to the bed. It shows the step-by-step process I use to recover roughly 95% of my own failed prints.
The Moonraker connection and END_PRINT parking coordinates shown are one-time setup steps. Once configured, 3DPrintSaver uses the toolhead's known parked position to restore the printer's lost coordinate state in two clicks, without manual XY realignment.
After measuring the unfinished print, the recovery file can usually be built and started in under one minute.

Comparison
One tool for the whole recovery
Power-loss recovery handles one kind of failure. Skip-to-layer handles one step. 3DPrintSaver.com brings the whole recovery together.

Even after power-loss recovery or a pause/resume sequence, the continuation can still leave a visible layer line. 3DPrintSaver.com's precision realignment may help make those resumes cleaner too.
Workflow
How it works
You give 3DPrintSaver.com the old file and a simple measurement. It helps you make a recovery file and line the nozzle back up.
- Choose the original G-code.
Use a local file or a Moonraker file. - Measure the part that already printed.
Enter the lower side if the part is uneven. - 3DPrintSaver.com rebuilds the file.
It finds where to restart and builds the recovery file. - Home and line up the nozzle.
Use the guided controls to match the old print. - Check the preview and resume.
Nothing starts until you confirm it.
Print moved or came off the bed
Make the landing pad. Put the print back on the guides. Check the sides, then lock the position.
Safety
You stay in control
3DPrintSaver.com helps you avoid guessing. You still check the setup before the printer moves on.
- 3DPrintSaver.com avoids blind Z moves during homing.
- Guided controls help you line up the nozzle.
- A paper test helps set the correct height.
- You can check the recovery before running it.
- Nothing starts until you confirm it.

Print farmers
Attention Print Farmers: there is no limit to the number of printers!
A single installation of 3DPrintSaver.com has no limit on the number of printers it can be used on. Changing printers is as easy as swapping the Moonraker URL, for no extra charge.
Limits
Sometimes starting over is unavoidable
3DPrintSaver.com is not a failure detection service. It cannot fix a pile of spaghetti, run calibration tests, or correct poor bed adhesion.
But 3DPrintSaver.com can still save time when starting over is the right call. If the bed is leveled and the coordinate state is sound, you can resume from Z 0.0 and run the full G-code without going through the entire startup ritual again.
Founder
Built because starting over should not be the only option
I'm Ken, inventor of the patent-pending recovery system. As an aspiring print-farmer wannabe, I was being crippled by prints that started out fine and then, for one reason or another, failed to complete.
The first version saved three real prints on two different model printers in its first 48 hours. It did not just save the prints; it was fun to use. It turned frustration into satisfaction, to the point that I almost wanted prints to fail just so I could see how fast and accurately I could resume them. Then it occurred to me that maybe other people might benefit from this.
Had I known what I was in for, there is no way it would have happened. But with a little OCD, more than 2,000 hours of troubleshooting and debugging, and a measurable cost to my mind and sanity, 3DPrintSaver.com was born. Read the full story.
