Know what every print costs before you promise a price.
LayerLedger is a workshop ledger for 3D printing. Drop in a sliced file and it tells you the grams, the time, the cost, and whether you have the filament to finish the order on time. Your records stay on your own computer.
One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no cloud.
| Filament | Per set | On hand |
|---|---|---|
| Jade Green PLA | 61.4 g | 2 spools |
| Sun Yellow PLA | 38.0 g | 1 spool |
| Cocoa Brown PLA | 22.7 g | Short by 132 g |
| Jade White PLA | 7.0 g | 3 spools |
Print time 116 h 30 min on one printer. Buy 1 spool of Cocoa Brown to finish on time.
Production Estimate Notice. Figures are estimates from your slicer file and your own records. Check them before you quote a customer.
From the shop
What it does
Quotes, inventory, planning and year-end records: four jobs every print shop has, kept in one place.
Quotes you can stand behind
Every quote comes from the sliced file's real grams and minutes, your spools' real prices, and the labor, fees and failure allowance you set. When the order ships, the actual cost sits next to the estimate.
Nothing typed twice
Drop in a supplier receipt and the spools go into inventory, with the receipt's shipping and tax shared across them. Drop in an Etsy order export and the orders appear with sale price, shipping and tax. Scan a spool's QR label to load it onto a printer.
A plan you can promise
Supply & Demand sets filament aside for each order by priority and due date, flags any order at risk of running late, and writes a buy list that shows which order each spool is for.
Ready for tax time
Reports give you a year-end pack laid out by IRS Schedule C line, your inventory value on any date, and profit by month. It isn't tax advice. Export everything to CSV whenever you like. It's your data.
Watch a print go from sliced file to shipped order.
Works with the printers and slicers you already have
Reads files from Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer (including .bgcode), Cura, Creality Print, Simplify3D, ideaMaker, FlashPrint, Snapmaker Luban and Kiri:Moto. Shows live status and filament slots from Bambu Lab printers and any Klipper printer on your network, read-only, with no vendor account.
English and Spanish on every screen. Light, dark and high-contrast looks, spoken prompts, and full keyboard use.
Your data stays yours
LayerLedger is built so that nothing about your shop leaves your computer unless you export it.
- On your own machine
- All records live in one file on your computer or phone. No account, no login, no server on our side.
- Nothing phones home
- No telemetry, no analytics, no update checks that send anything about you. Receipt reading and slicer parsing run on the device.
- Encrypted on the phone
- The phone app will keep records in an AES-256 encrypted database, with the key in the phone's own secure store.
- Yours to take
- Export every table to CSV at any time. Daily backups go to a folder you can see. Stop using LayerLedger and your data is still readable.

Ask LayerLedger
Have a question about the product? Ask here. It answers only from what's published on this site and in the user guide, and it tells you when it doesn't know.
It's an assistant, not a person; for anything it can't answer, write to beta@layerledger.app. Questions about Human Dimension Solutions go to Ask HDS on humandimensionsolutions.com; questions about the company go to natanaelapontejr.com. Scout answers on wanderwithnate.com.
This box is the one part of the site that talks to a server. Your question goes to layerledger.app, where Cloudflare's AI service writes the answer. We don't save your questions or answers, and Cloudflare doesn't use them to train AI; it keeps only routine service records, such as times and sizes. To stop abuse, the site counts questions from each connection under a scrambled code instead of your address. The counts are cleared shortly after midnight UTC each day; Cloudflare's backup copies of that small database expire after up to 7 days. Please don't type personal or sensitive information. The LayerLedger app itself never talks to this or any other server. "Read answers aloud" uses only a voice installed on your device; if there isn't one, it tells you instead of reading.
Hi. Ask me anything about LayerLedger: what it does, what it costs, which printers and slicers it works with, or how your data is handled.
Windows beta
We're inviting a small group of sellers to test the Windows build before the cross-platform app goes on sale. It's free for testers, and we take your feedback seriously.
- Tell us about your shopHow many printers, roughly how many spools, and where you sell. An Etsy shop is especially welcome.
- Get the installerWe email you a Windows installer and a short guide. Separately, by a different route such as a text message, we send its fingerprint: a code you compare with your download to make sure it's the file we sent. Because the beta build is unsigned, Windows may show a warning before it installs. If Windows won't let you install it, write to us.
- Use it for real workDrop in your own receipts, orders and sliced files, then tell us what was confusing, slow or wrong.
To ask about the beta, write to beta@layerledger.app.
