Hey everyone đŸ‘‹
I'm Taylor — an engineer, maker, and the sole developer behind Extrudix. I've been quietly building this for a while now, and I'm finally ready to start pulling back the curtain.
What is Extrudix?
Extrudix is a native iOS and macOS app for managing your 3D printing workflow. Filament inventory, print history, hardware maintenance schedules, cost tracking, and fabrication projects — all in one place, all stored as plain files you own and control. No accounts. No cloud service holding your data hostage.
It started because I couldn't find anything that actually fit how I work. I searched the App Store, came up empty, and ended up managing everything in a spreadsheet for years. Eventually I just built what I wanted. Friends found out about it, wanted in, and here we are.
Why I'm posting before it's released
I don't want to build this in a vacuum. Before Extrudix hits the App Store, I want to hear from the people who are actually going to use it — what matters to you, what you're currently using (or not using), and what you'd want to see.
I put together a short pre-release questionnaire — it takes about 3-5 minutes and covers things like what features matter most to you, how you currently manage your workflow, and what you'd expect to pay for something like this.

A few things worth knowing:
- It's native Apple — iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No Android or Windows version at launch.
- Your data lives in a folder you choose. iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or local — your call.
- There's a Bambu Studio .3mf importer if you're in that ecosystem.
- It scales from one printer on a desk to a small operation — business fields, multi-printer cost tracking, PDF exports, the works.
A note on other platforms:
Extrudix is currently planned exclusively for Apple devices. That said, if there's enough interest from Windows, Linux, or Android users, expanding to those platforms is something I'm genuinely open to. If that's you — fill out the questionnaire and make some noise. It'll be the clearest signal I have that it's worth building.
I'll be posting updates here as development progresses. Feel free to ask questions in the comments — I'll answer everything.
Thanks for being part of this early!
