Website foundation
Static Astro foundation, GitHub Pages custom-domain deployment, landing page sections, and reusable layout components.
Product roadmap
Current direction, planned work, and future ideas are separated.
NozzleNote by BMR is being developed as a local-first maintenance logbook for 3D printer owners. This roadmap uses cautious planning language and should not be read as a promise of availability, pricing, release dates, manufacturer support, or future integrations.
Completed / In progress
Website groundwork exists while the app continues toward a desktop core.
These items describe current project state. Legal content remains preliminary and the public desktop app is not published yet.
Documentation structure
Improved documentation hub, static guide pages, and smoother docs navigation for early product education.
Support and legal placeholders
Support guidance and preliminary legal pages exist as draft placeholders for future review before public release.
App development in progress
NozzleNote by BMR remains in development as a local-first desktop maintenance logbook for 3D printer owners.
Current development focus
The current focus is the desktop maintenance core and the data structures needed to make manual printer care records useful before expanding into paid catalog content or optional connected workflows.
- Desktop maintenance core
- Printer profiles
- Tasks
- History
- Parts
- Incidents
- Backup
- Catalog foundation
Planned public release path
The release path is intended to start with a free Core desktop app for manual maintenance tracking and clear website, docs, and support guidance.
- Free Core public desktop release
- Website + docs + support guidance
- No paid catalog until reviewed
Future commercial path
Paid catalog work is a future path and should only move forward after review. An early supporter or crowdfunding-style campaign may later become a future commercial path to help fund launch preparation, but it is not live and rewards are not final. Paid catalog availability, pricing, licensing and update periods are not final yet.
- BMR Verified Catalog — Compatible with Bambu Lab Printers
- License key activation
- Entitlements
- Early supporter / crowdfunding campaign
- Public paid catalog launch
- Review the Early Supporters planning placeholder
Future expansion areas
These ideas may later extend NozzleNote after the maintenance core is complete. They are not current features.
- Maintenance Budget & Parts Planner
- Calibration & Print Quality Suite
- Print Quality Benchmark
- Optional account
- Optional sync
- Mobile companion
- Read-only integrations
Future roadmap details
Later ideas are grouped separately from current development work.
The following cards make the expanded roadmap easier to scan. They describe possible future directions and do not announce availability, compatibility, pricing, or delivery dates.
Maintenance Budget & Parts Planner
A future Maintenance Budget & Parts Planner is planned to help users record part costs, suppliers, delivery lead times and expected replacement cycles.
If a nozzle is usually replaced every six months, NozzleNote may later help remind the user before the replacement is due, show the last paid price, and suggest buying the part early enough to avoid downtime.
Calibration & Print Quality Suite
After the maintenance core is complete, NozzleNote may expand into calibration and print quality tracking, helping users record machine calibration, filament calibration, profiles and quality observations over time.
- Machine Calibration
- Filament Calibration
- Filament Profiles
- Calibration History
- Print Quality Benchmark
Print Quality Benchmark
A future Print Quality Benchmark may allow users to print a standard test model, upload reference photos, tag visible defects and compare print quality over time after maintenance, calibration, part changes or filament changes.
- manual comparison
- photo history
- defect tags
- quality notes
Future optional read-only printer connectors
Future optional read-only printer connectors may help turn real printer usage into better maintenance reminders, such as print-hour based routines or event-based care prompts.
NozzleNote is not planned as a printer control platform. Any future connector should support maintenance insight, not replace slicers, dashboards or manufacturer tools.
- OctoPrint
- Klipper / Moonraker
- PrusaLink
- Bambu-related integration, if technically and legally appropriate
Future account, license, sync, and mobile language
A future optional NozzleNote account may help users recover licenses, manage activated devices, link older license keys, and prepare optional sync or mobile features.
Before a full account system exists, paid catalogs may be activated through license keys and device activation.
A future mobile companion may help users review tasks, scan QR codes, record quick incidents and receive maintenance reminders after account and sync infrastructure exists.
Release note
No real download links are published yet. Future milestones should add availability details only when the app, documentation, support expectations, and basic legal pages are reviewed. Planned BMR Verified Catalogs are described on the catalogs page, the current feature direction is summarized on the features page, early guide drafts are available in the documentation hub, and current availability notes are listed on the release preparation page.
