Conclusion

Support now reaches printers on Klipper, Bambu Lab OS and Elegoo OS as well as OctoPrint. A plugin creates an end-to-end encrypted tunnel, so the printer is not publicly exposed on the Internet and no port forwarding is needed. An AI failure assistant called Gadget watches prints for spaghetti, bed adhesion and layer issues and sends an alert when a failure is detected.

Remote access also works through iPhone and Android apps such as OctoApp and Mobileraker, and notifications can go out by push, Discord, Telegram or SMS. The project is community funded. Remote access and AI failure detection are free and unlimited for up to three printers, while paid Supporter Perks add app remote access, longer webcam streams and more printers.
