Settings
Open Settings from the gear icon in the top bar. The panes are listed down the left; click one to open it, or use the search box at the top to jump straight to a setting by name.
Most people only ever touch the first few panes. The later ones (Keys, Access, Git Host) are for people who publish their own plugins, and you can safely ignore them.
Look and feel.
- Theme. Light, Dark, or System (System follows your computer's setting). The sun/moon icon in the toolbar also flips light and dark at any time.
- Store density. How wide the plugin cards are: Compact, Comfortable (the default), or Spacious.
- Store grouping. Show all plugins in one list, or grouped by category (Camera, Filament, Screen).
- Region and formats. How numbers, dates, first day of the week, and units are shown.
Set a value once and Bespok3d fills it in for you every time you install that plugin. For example, set your Spoolman server address here and it is already filled whenever you install the Spoolman Bridge (you can still change it before installing).
You can keep a shared value that every printer inherits, or set a different value per printer. These stay on your computer and are never sent anywhere.
Bespok3d uses your computer's language on first launch. Pick another from the list to switch right away, no restart. Each language shows a ring for how much is translated; anything not yet translated shows in English.
You can also help translate: click the pencil next to a language to edit its text in the app, then send the result to the project using the link in the pane.
Your printers, their status, and the actions for each one (set up, update, pause, remove). This is the same list covered on the Your printers page.
For people who publish their own plugins. A signature proves who made a plugin. Everyday users do not need to set anything up here. Full details are on the Signing keys page.
Controls which identities are allowed to reach each of your printers. It stays empty ("No managed printers yet") until you have set up a printer, and most people never need to change it.
Connect a GitHub or Gitea account, used when you publish plugins. Optional, and covered on the Git hosts page.
Where Bespok3d gets plugins, and how new they are.
Verify plugin signatures is on by default. Bespok3d checks who published each plugin and shows you. Leave this on.
Release channels let you choose how new the plugins you see are:
| Channel | What it means |
|---|---|
| LTS | The most thoroughly tested. On by default. |
| Stable | Ready for everyday use. On by default. |
| RC | Nearly ready, may have rough edges. Off by default. |
| Testing | Early builds, may have known issues. Off by default. |
| Experiment | Proof of concept, expect breakage. Off by default. |
Plugin sources. The official Bespok3d source is built in and always present. Community sources you can subscribe to are coming later.
A read-only list of the printer types this version of the app knows how to talk to. An adapter is the small piece that teaches Bespok3d one printer's quirks. There is nothing to change here.
Experiments the team is trying out with testers. These come and go and may change or disappear. Turn one on if you want to try it; nothing here is permanent.
Keeps the Bespok3d app itself up to date.
- Status. Shows your current version and a Check for updates button.
- Preferences. How often to check, whether to download updates automatically, and when to apply them (for example, on the next quit).
- Version history. Read what changed in each release, once your app is connected to its update source.
The app version and links to release notes, documentation, the issue tracker, and the license.
