First of all how exactly did you set the 3D printer resource's calendar to 24/7? The best way to do that is to simply use the built-in 24 calendar as the Base Calendar for the printer.

  nJulian415,
  I'll ask my colleague Dale to jump in on this one. He knows Project for the Web inside and out, I don't.
  
  Update: I contacted Dale and he said that functionality of Project for the Web has never worked correctly. At this point the best I can offer is for you to give feedback to Microsoft via whatever feedback portal there is for PFTW. Understand that PFTW is a work in progress and Microsoft is improving and adding features all the time. You can check out the PFTW roadmap at:

  Sorry I can't be of more help.

    oh wow, that’s really a bummer. How can such a basic feature not work properly? We‘ll need to switch to a different product then.
    thanks anyway, John-project
