# Send 3D models from Printpal.io to SimplyPrint

# Send 3D models from Printpal.io to SimplyPrint

[Printpal.io](https://printpal.io) has a built-in **Send to SimplyPrint** button on every model in its library. Pick a model, hit send, and it lands in your SimplyPrint files ready to slice or print - no downloading the STL, no re-uploading, no browser extension to install.

This guide walks through the three clicks end to end.

## What you need

- A Printpal.io account (free).
- A SimplyPrint account on any plan.
- A browser - that's it. Nothing to install.

## Step 1 - Pick a model on Printpal.io

Head to [printpal.io/explore](https://printpal.io/explore) and open any model you want to print. You can also start from your own Printpal library or anywhere else on the site that shows a **Print now** button.

## Step 2 - Send it to SimplyPrint

Click the arrow next to **Print now**, then pick **Send to printer**.

In the dialog, choose **SimplyPrint**.

If you're not signed in to SimplyPrint in the same browser, Printpal will bounce you through a quick login and consent screen first. Approve, and the transfer happens automatically.

## Step 3 - Slice or queue in SimplyPrint

The model opens directly in the SimplyPrint slicer. From here you can:

- **Slice** it with your preferred profile and send the G-code to a printer.
- **Save** it to your files for later.
- **Add it to the queue** to be printed on the next available matching printer.

| Once a model is in SimplyPrint, everything else is identical to any other file - slice profiles, filament matching, queue rules, all of it applies.

## Troubleshooting

**The SimplyPrint option doesn't show up on Printpal**
Make sure you're on the latest version of Printpal.io (hard-refresh the page). The integration is built in - there's no install or account-linking step on SimplyPrint's side.

**I get sent to a SimplyPrint login page every time**
That's expected the first time you send a model from a fresh browser session. After approving, the session is remembered for subsequent transfers.

**The model imports but looks wrong in the slicer**
Printpal sends the original model as-is. If the geometry looks off, re-open it in Printpal to confirm the source file is fine, or try the **Re-download** option on the model's SimplyPrint file entry.

Still stuck? Open a support ticket and include the Printpal model URL and a screenshot of what you see.

Happy printing!
