3D printer and maker tool reservation software
HoldATime checks out 3D printers and maker tools for a print window with optional safety questions. Libraries and shops number Printer 2 so two jobs are not queued on the same machine by rumor.
How to set it up
Create 3D Printers with a unit per machine. Set a job-length maximum. Add questions for material or training acknowledgment.
Maker spaces as rooms are a separate landing. This page is the tool checkout.
- Create the printer or tool resource and number each machine.
- Set a checkout window long enough for a job.
- Add safety or material questions if you need them.
- Hang a QR poster at the printer bench.
Who it is for
School makers, libraries, and community workshops that share printers and tools.

Frequently asked questions
Can you reserve 3D printers with HoldATime?
Yes. Number each printer, set a job window, and optionally ask material or safety questions before the hold.
Is this maker-space management software?
No. It does not run filament inventory. It is checkout reservations for named machines.
How do printer units and QR work?
Printer 2 is independent of Printer 3. The bench poster opens availability; the pass shows the machine and window.
Where do we start after picking 3D printers?
Create the resource, number machines, set duration and questions, then publish. Equipment setup is the full story.
