Achievements
Achievements are badges you earn by using 3D Print Log: logging prints, adding printers and materials, connecting your slicer, and keeping a printing streak going. Your collection lives at Achievements, and the next badge within reach shows up above your Prints list.
Badges are never taken away. If you delete prints after earning a badge, you keep it, and its progress never drops below the tier you earned.
Categories
- Getting started: one-time badges for your first printer, first spool, first print, first
slicer upload, first photo, and a complete profile.
- Milestones: tiered badges for prints logged, hours printed, material used, your longest
print, printers and spools owned, material types, multi-material prints, and projects.
- Streaks: printing several days in a row, every week, or many prints in one day.
- Integrations: logging prints from Cura, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Anycubic
Slicer Next, OctoPrint, Klipper (Moonraker), or your AI assistant.
- Community and care: sharing prints publicly, getting comments from other makers, and
logging printer maintenance.
- Hidden: a few surprises. They show as "???" until you earn them.
Tiers
Tiered badges climb through filament finishes: Bronze PLA, Silver PLA, Gold Silk, Rainbow Silk, Carbon Fiber, and Glow-in-the-Dark. Each badge shows your progress toward its next tier.
Streak rules
Streaks count the days (or weeks) you started a print, in your own time zone. 3D Print Log saves your time zone automatically from your browser.
Streaks and the date-based hidden badges wait until your time zone is known, so a late-evening print is never counted as the next day. If you only log prints through OctoPrint, Klipper or an API key, open 3D Print Log in your browser once and those badges catch up.
- A print counts toward a streak only if you log it within 48 hours of starting it.
Back-filling old prints still counts toward your totals, but not toward streaks or the date-based hidden badges.
- Daily streaks need at least one print on consecutive days. A streak stays alive until the
end of the day after your last print.
- Weekly streaks need at least one print in consecutive weeks (Monday to Sunday).
Slicer badges
Slicer badges are earned when a print is created from a slicer upload, through the Cura plugin or the Slicer Uploader. Entering a print by hand doesn't count.
Privacy
Your earned badges appear on your public profile, following your profile's visibility. Turn Show my achievements on my profile off in Settings to hide them. Your progress toward unearned badges is never shown to anyone else.
Celebrations
When you earn a badge, 3D Print Log celebrates it. In Settings you can choose:
- Full: a celebration for big moments, like your first print or a Gold Silk tier, and a small
card for everything else.
- Quiet: a small card only.
- Off: nothing plays, and new badges wait in your collection and your notifications.
If you have more than one tab open, only one of them celebrates. In the Android app you can also choose whether earning a badge sends a push notification.
