Maintenance log and public feature roadmap
3D PrintForce added maintenance logs for printer repairs and launched a public feature roadmap for user-submitted requests.
This release focused on two things: better visibility into printer maintenance and a more public way for users to influence the future roadmap.
Maintenance log
3D PrintForce added support for tracking maintenance and repair work completed on printers.
The release introduced two related concepts:
- Repair items — reusable maintenance actions with their own material and labor costs
- Maintenance logs — repair records made up of one or more repair items completed at a given time
That creates a foundation for measuring maintenance cost at the printer level instead of treating repair work as invisible overhead.
The original release also previewed future roadmap items for this area, including:
- reporting on which printers require the most maintenance
- dynamically adjusting hourly maintenance cost based on a seller's actual maintenance history
Public feature roadmap
3D PrintForce also launched a public roadmap so users could request features and help shape what gets built next.
That move made the roadmap more visible and turned feature requests into a more community-driven process.
Discord connection reminder
This changelog entry also repeated the Discord connection flow so users could quickly get community support and access the 3DPF Discord server.
