Filament Syndicate Foreman - 5"

Filament Syndicate Foreman — a desk-side touchscreen control center for your 3D print farm. One piece of glass between you and your prints. No phone unlocks, no laptop, no monitor required. Built around the Snapmaker U1, but compatible with most Klipper / Moonraker setups.

Monitor and manage up to 16 printers from a single 5" IPS touchscreen. The Print Farm Overview shows every printer at a glance — status, progress, temperatures, time remaining. Tap any card to drill into the full controls: pause / resume / cancel, set heater targets, toggle the chamber light, watch the live console, or pop open the camera feed. A pull-down quick-settings drawer puts brightness, volume, mute, screensaver, and the Settings shortcut one swipe away from anywhere.

You can also pair each printer with a BIQU Panda Breath chamber heater for filament-aware temperature targets that hold ABS, ASA, PA, and PC chambers stable through the whole print. Smart Cooling holds high-temp parts at a reduced setpoint after the print finishes to prevent shock-cooling. Overshoot protection trims the heater on its own when the chamber runs hot. Don't run a Panda Breath? Disable heater management and Foreman becomes a pure printer-monitor — every other feature still works.

When you walk away, Foreman drops into a glanceable screensaver: camera feed, print state, percent complete, time remaining — readable from across the room. When something needs you — print pauses for filament out, errors, or finishes — Foreman calls you back with audible alerts through its two onboard speakers (with your choice of completion chime).

OTA firmware updates install themselves over WiFi. Foreman runs from any USB-C port — no brick required — and the 3000mAh Li-Po battery lets you carry it around the workshop for 10+ hours at a time.
