Each figure is the marketplace's own and is never added up across marketplaces. A marketplace that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero.

Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
Label Printer
Print labels from Claude Code on Brother QL and P-touch label printers on Linux. Discovers printers over mDNS, USB and CUPS and keeps a machine-local registry so later prints can name one; renders text and QR labels to the pixel canvas of the loaded DK or TZe media; previews without touching the printer, because brother_ql converts and transmits in a single step with no dry run. Ships a media catalogue of DK and TZe product codes, reusable label templates in the user's data directory, and a Linux driver-install skill covering brother_ql, ptouch-print, mDNS and CUPS. Zebra and DYMO are discovered and registered but not yet printable. Also bundles the original streamable-HTTP MCP server for P-touch setups built around a USB print bridge.
3D Print Log
Log and query 3D prints, printers, filament, and projects on 3dprintlog.com, and search its docs.
