This page describes what kind of data you can expect to find in the print job report of the Digital Factory. It also details some considerations to take into account when analyzing the data.

About the print job report

You have access to two types of print job reports depending on your Subscription type.
All subscriptions have access to a per printer report, that reports per printer what print jobs were handled by that printer.
Professional, Excellence, and education subscriptions also have access to a report detailing the print jobs of their entire fleet of printers at once.
For the reports in the Digital factory we chose the CSV format since this is widely compatible with spreadsheet software, BI tooling, data analysis packages, and programming libraries.
The date ranges chosen affect what print jobs are included. Print jobs that were already printing and queued before the start date and print jobs that were still printing after the end date are included report. You can use the job_uuid to filter out duplicates for print jobs reported in overlapping reports.

Note: See this page to learn how you can analyze the print job report using Excel or PowerBI.

Data dictionary

Below you’ll find the meaning of the attributes used in both the prints table and the material consumption table and whether they occur in the table. Some attributes are preceded by Extruder 1 or extruder 2 in the prints table to indicate to what extruder they apply.

Attribute	Meaning
printer_model	The type of printer the print was produced on.
printer_name	The name of the printer as given by the user.
printer_uuid	The unique identifier of the printer.
job_uuid	The ID of the print job. This is unique as opposed to the job name.
job_name	The name of the print job as given by the user.
started_at	The date and time the printer started printing the print job.
queued_at	The date and time when a print job first entered the queue of a printer in Digital Factory.
removed_at	The date and time when the print was confirmed by the user to be removed from the build plate.
status	The last status of the print job. As soon as a print job goes into another state, this is overwritten. Finished – The print finished without any issues reported by the printer or interference by the user. Printing – At the time of generating the report, the print was in progress or not yet removed from the build plate. Queued – At the time of generating the report, the print was waiting in the printer queue. Aborted – The print was aborted by the user. Failed – The printer was not able to complete the print job due to an error. Deleted – The print was deleted from the queue; most likely by a user.
owner	The account name of the person submitting the print job. If the job was printed via USB, this reads 'USB'.
estimated_time_total	The (theoretical) estimate of the total print time by Cura. This doesn’t take into account tweaking print settings during print, material changes, etc.
print_time_sec	The span of time between the printer starting the print and finishing the print. This excludes the time between the end of the production of the print and the user confirming the removal from the build plate.
sent_from	By what means the print was delivered to Digital Factory. The possible values are: Cloud – The print was sent in Cura via the cloud to the printer, alternatively this was a print sent from Digital Factory itself by reprinting a job in Digital Factory or printing from a Digital Library project file. USB – The print was loaded on the printer directly using a USB drive. Network – The print was sent via the local network from Cura to the printer directly, not via the Cloud. In the latter two cases, there is only limited information available since the printer informs Digital Factory of the print happening retroactively and Digital Factory has not been able to parse the print job.
material_1_brand material_2_brand	Designates the brand of the material present in the extruder at the time of the print. If there is no material volume indicated, the material was not used for producing the print.
material_1_type material_2_type	Designates the base type of the material present in the extruder at the time of the print. If there is no material volume indicated, the material was not used for producing the print. It is the easiest way of pinpointing a material for calculation but may group materials together that have different qualities of different brands (price, spool weight, density).
material_1_color material_2_color	Designates the color of the material present in the extruder at the time of the print. If there is no material volume indicated, the material was not used for producing the print.
material_1_guid material_2_guid	ID that is unique for each material type, brand, color, and version of the material profile. It is very good for very precisely pinpointing a material for calculations but needs more maintenance since it can change with the change of material profiles.
material_estimation_mm3_1 material_estimation_mm3_2	The volume of the material that is estimated to be used during the print. The estimate is based on the slice made by Cura. Note that this is reported but not actually used for prints that were deleted, aborted, etc.
print_core_1 print_core_2	The type of print core that was present in the extruder at the time of the print. If there is no material volume indicated, the core was not used for producing the print.
