Statistics Dashboard

The Statistics page provides analytics and insights through customizable, drag-and-drop widgets.

Statistics Page

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard displays multiple widgets that you can:

  • Drag to reorder
  • Resize to emphasize important data
  • Hide widgets you don't need
  • Reset to default layout

Available Widgets

Track reliability across all printers:

Status Description
Success Completed prints
Failed Prints that failed
Stopped Manually cancelled
  • Visual pie chart breakdown
  • Per-printer filtering
  • Success rate percentage

Filament Usage

Monitor material consumption:

  • By type - PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.
  • By color - Color breakdown
  • Over time - Trend charts
  • Total weight - Cumulative kg/g

GitHub-style contribution calendar:

  • Daily print activity heatmap
  • Color intensity = number of prints
  • Click any day to see prints
  • Identify printing patterns

Quick Stats

Summary statistics at a glance:

  • Total prints in selected period
  • Total filament used (grams)
  • Total cost (filament + energy)
  • Total print time
  • Energy used / cost — honours the tracking mode set in Settings → General → Energy (Per-Print or Total Consumption) and respects the selected date range.

Configuration Required

Requires filament costs in Settings to calculate cost data.

Statistics aggregate per print event, not per archived file

Quick Stats and Statistics queries sum over individual print events (the same data backing the Per-archive Print Log), not over archive rows. So every reprint contributes its own filament / time / cost / count to the totals — even if you've printed the same archived 3MF ten times. A failed reprint at 10 g of a previously-successful 100 g print is recorded as two distinct events; Quick Stats correctly add up to 110 g across both, instead of the failed run overwriting the source archive's data.

Deleting an archive keeps its Quick Stats contribution

By default, deleting an entry on the Archives page does not rewind its filament, time, cost, or energy contribution from Quick Stats — the file is removed from disk and the row disappears from listings, but the totals stay honest. To also drop the print from statistics, tick the Also remove this print from Quick Stats checkbox in the delete confirmation dialog. See Delete Behavior on the Archiving page for details. The opt-in hard-delete removes the archive's linked Print Log entries as well so its run-by-run contributions disappear from the totals together.

Energy warming-up indicator

In Total Consumption mode, date-range energy values are computed from hourly snapshots of each smart plug's lifetime counter. On a fresh install or shortly after an upgrade, the first snapshot before your selected range may not exist yet — the Energy Used / Energy Cost tiles show a small yellow warning icon with a tooltip explaining the situation. After ~1 hour of runtime the indicator disappears for any range that starts after the first snapshot. See Energy Tracking for details.

Time Accuracy

Analyze estimated vs actual print times:

  • Average accuracy - How close estimates are
  • Per-printer - Compare printer accuracy
  • Trend - Is accuracy improving?

Understand typical print lengths:

  • Bar chart with duration buckets (<30m, 30m-1h, 1-2h, 2-4h, 4-8h, 8-12h, 12-24h, 24h+)
  • Quickly see your most common print duration range

Filament by Type

Pie chart of material distribution:

  • Click segments to filter
  • Legend with exact amounts
  • Percentage breakdown

Printer Utilization

Hours of active printing:

  • Idle time percentage
  • Per-printer breakdown
  • Most/least used printers

Recent Activity

  • Quick status overview
  • Click to view archive
  • Last 10 prints

:material-gesture-tap-drag: Customizing Layout

Per-User Filtering

Filter all statistics by a specific user — useful for universities, makerspaces, and multi-user environments where you need per-person accountability or cost tracking.

Requirements:

  • Authentication must be enabled
  • User must have the stats:filter_by_user permission (Administrators only by default)

How to use:

  1. Click the user dropdown in the stats header (next to the timeframe selector)
  2. Select a user to see only their prints, filament usage, and costs
  3. Select "All Users" to return to global statistics
  4. Select "No User (System)" to see prints without user attribution (e.g. slicer-initiated or pre-auth prints)

The filter applies to all widgets, failure analysis, and CSV/Excel exports.

Custom Permission Groups

To grant this permission to non-admin users, create a custom group in Settings → Users and add the stats:filter_by_user permission.

Printer Selection

View statistics for:

  • All printers combined
  • Individual printer only
  • Compare across printers

Cost Configuration

To enable cost tracking:

  1. Go to Settings > Filaments
  2. Add your filaments:
  3. Material type
  4. Color
  5. Cost per kg
  6. Vendor (optional)
  7. Statistics calculate costs automatically

Cost Calculation

Print Cost = (Filament Used in grams / 1000) × Cost per kg

Recalculate Costs

If you change your default filament cost, existing archives retain their original calculated costs. To update all archives with current pricing:

  1. Click Recalculate Costs in the dashboard header
  2. All archive costs are recalculated using current filament prices
  3. Statistics update immediately

Reprint Costs

When you reprint an archive, the cost is added to the existing total. This ensures statistics accurately reflect total filament expenditure across all prints of the same file.
