JustPrint uses printer information to help connect customer print requests with Makers who may be able to fulfill them. This matching depends on the details you provide about your printers and the requirements of the request.
Why matching matters
Matching helps:
-
Surface relevant print jobs to the right Makers
-
Improve the fit between customer needs and printer capabilities
-
Reduce unsuitable requests
-
Make quoting and fulfillment more efficient
The better your printer data is, the more useful the matching process becomes.
What matching may consider
Customer requests may be matched to your printers based on information such as:
-
Supported file formats
-
Supported filament or material types
-
Printer-related capabilities
-
Whether a request is open or already assigned
-
The details included in the customer’s request
How your printer details affect matching
The printer information in your Maker workspace plays a major role in whether a request is a good fit for you.
Important fields may include:
-
Supported filament types
-
Supported file formats
-
Printer description
-
Build and hardware capabilities
If these details are missing or outdated, matching may be less accurate.
Types of requests you may see
As a Maker, you may encounter:
-
Requests directly assigned to your Maker profile
-
Requests associated with one of your printers
-
Open requests that appear relevant to your setup
This means your visible request list may include both clearly assigned work and jobs that may still need a Maker response.
Why some jobs may be a better fit than others
Even if a request appears in your workflow, you should still review it carefully. Matching helps narrow down possibilities, but you should always confirm that:
-
The file type is workable for your setup
-
The material needs are realistic
-
The print size fits your equipment
-
The request matches the services you want to offer
How to improve your matching quality
To improve how well requests align with your setup:
-
Keep printer details accurate
-
Update supported materials when they change
-
Keep supported file formats current
-
Remove printers you no longer use
-
Review descriptions and specs regularly
If you are seeing poor-fit requests
If requests do not seem relevant to your printers:
-
Review your printer specifications
-
Check your supported materials and file formats
-
Remove outdated or inaccurate entries
-
Confirm that your current setup is reflected correctly
