Gantry Cloud is an optional panel at gantry3d.pl/cloud. It shows your printers live, and in the Workshop section you manage customers, quotes and orders. You do not set up a server or open ports.
Connect the app
- Create an account at gantry3d.pl/cloud and confirm your email address.
- In Gantry, open Settings → Gantry server and click Generate key.
- Copy the key and paste it on the Connect Gantry page in the panel.
- Open the panel in a browser or on your phone. Your printers appear after the first sync.
Printer data is encrypted with keys the server does not have. The key belongs to that computer. If the server rejects a key as already used, generate a new one in Gantry.
What needs to be running
The Gantry app sends printer data, so the panel refreshes only while the app runs on a computer on the same network as the printers.

Workshop
Workshop is the panel section for customers, products, quotes and orders.
- Customers: contact details, internal notes and search.
- Products: SKU, material, net price, own cost, attached file and Farm plate number.
- Quotes: items, quantity, discount, VAT rate, validity date and notes. You can print a quote or save it as a PDF through the browser’s print window. It is not an invoice.
- Quote statuses: draft, sent, accepted and rejected. You set them by hand.
- Orders: they come from an accepted quote, one per quote, with its items and prices.
- Export: save decrypted Workshop data to a JSON file.
Send an order to the Farm
You can send an order to the Farm on a chosen macOS computer. This adds the order to planning, but it does not send a file or start a print.
- Turn on the Farm and syncing of its data through the Gantry server.
- Turn on control mode through the Gantry server. View-only access cannot import orders.
- Attach a file and plate number in the product, or choose Production files on the order.
- Create a quote, mark it accepted, create an order and choose Send to Farm.
- After the In Farm confirmation, plan production in the app. Bed and profile confirmations are still required to start.
Disconnecting a computer
Disconnecting a computer or deleting the account also removes its Workshop, because the key belongs to that computer. Export your data first.
