Elegoo, the Shenzhen-based 3D printer maker known for its resin models, just unveiled Matrix, its first ever mobile app designed to let users monitor and control their 3D printers remotely. Available now on iOS and Android, Matrix brings a new level of convenience to managing 3D printing workflows, especially for users juggling multiple devices.
At launch, the app supports Elegoo’s flagship Saturn 4 Ultra 16K resin printer, but the company has confirmed that support for other popular models like the Mars 5 Ultra, Jupiter 2, and the FDM-based Centauri Carbon will roll out by Q3 2025. This expansion will position Matrix as a versatile hub for both resin and filament printing.
Matrix offers real-time status updates, including print progress, temperature, and speed metrics, all accessible from your phone. One of the standout features is the ability to remotely adjust critical print settings such as layer height and exposure time. This means users can fine-tune prints on the fly without needing to be physically present a game changer for print farms and busy makers alike.
The app also stores detailed print logs, helping users track performance over time and troubleshoot more efficiently. While some advanced features require account registration, basic controls remain accessible without logging in, lowering the entry barrier for newcomers.
To ensure smooth connectivity, Elegoo advises users to keep their printer firmware updated and maintain a stable local network. Support is available directly through the app and official channels.
With Matrix, Elegoo joins a growing trend toward smarter, more connected 3D printing solutions, competing with platforms like Prusa’s EasyPrint and the open-source OctoPrint. By putting powerful remote management tools in the palm of your hand, Elegoo is making 3D printing more flexible and accessible than ever before.
