ClearCue Plate-Clear Status Button

$15.00
Color

Know at a glance which printers are ready for the next job. ClearCue is a one-button status light that sits next to each printer in your farm. It glows red while the printer is busy or the build plate still needs clearing, and green when the printer is idle and clear. Pull the part, press the button, and the printer is marked ready — no walking to a laptop.

Volume pricing, mix any colors: 3+ for $13.33 each · 5+ for $12.40 each — applied automatically at checkout.

How it works

  1. Plug it in. Set a ClearCue next to each printer and power it from any USB-C port or 5V adapter.
  2. Set it up from your phone. Join the button's ClearCue setup Wi-Fi, pick your network, then enter your Bambuddy or Watchtower server and API key in the browser. No apps, IDE, or flashing needed.
  3. Clear and press. Red means busy or the plate needs clearing. Pull the part, press the button, and it turns green: ready for the next job.

Works with your self-hosted farm manager

  • Watchtower — shows ready/online status and sends set ready on press
  • Bambuddy — shows ready/online status and clears the plate through the API

Choose your platform on the button's settings page during setup. A blue light tells you when the button is in setup mode.

Questions

Do I need Bambuddy or Watchtower?
Yes. ClearCue reads printer status from your self-hosted Bambuddy or Watchtower instance, so one needs to be running on your network. You pick which one during setup.

What do I need to power it?
A USB-C cable and any 5V USB power source, like a phone charger or a powered USB hub.

Can I flash my own firmware?
Yes. ClearCue firmware is GPLv3 and the source is on GitHub. Custom firmware isn't covered by the warranty, but flashing official releases from our site is.

Shipping, returns, and warranty
Orders ship within 3 business days via USPS Ground Advantage (US only). Unused items can be returned within 14 days of delivery, and ClearCue has a 90-day warranty against defects.

Open source

ClearCue firmware is GPLv3 and fully public: github.com/ThePrintBench/ClearCue. Updates install over the network from the button's settings page, or over USB with the web installer.
