PrintStash vs Printventory
Everything Printventory catalogs — on every device, backed up
Printventory is a free, open-source desktop app that indexes 3D files on one computer's disk. PrintStash does the cataloging in the cloud instead, so your library follows you across devices, stays backed up, and opens straight in your slicer. Here's the honest side-by-side.
Printventory is a free, open-source desktop app; details reflect its public site as of May 2026 and may have changed since. “Not documented” means we could not confirm the capability either way.
Choose PrintStash if…
- You want your library on every device and in any browser — not one PC.
- You want your files backed up off your own hardware.
- You'd rather sign in than install and maintain software.
- You print with OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio and want one-click open.
Printventory may fit better if…
- You want a free, no-subscription tool and manage your own backups.
- You only ever work from a single computer.
- You want to self-host and own the code — it's open source.
Free is great — until it isn't
