How the Smart Dispatcher matches jobs to correct nozzle sizes and materials

Last updated on Mar 31, 2026

Avoid Catastrophic Hardware Conflicts

If you slice a model assuming a 0.6mm nozzle and PETG temperatures, printing it on a 0.4mm equipped machine running PLA will clog the hotend or result in terrible quality.

Intelligence at the Core

The SoLoPrint Smart Dispatcher sits between the Queue and your printers. It reads the metadata inside the queued G-Code (specifically the filament requirements calculated by our Cloud Slicer).

When an idle printer becomes available, the Dispatcher queries its currently Assigned Spool and its registered hardware Nozzle Diameter.

The Result

If the job requires PETG and the machine is loaded with PLA, the Dispatcher skips that printer. It only pushes the job if there is a 100% material and hardware match, saving you hours of frustration.
