OctoEverywhere is a cloud service project for the 3D printing community, with the goal of empowering every 3D printing user through free and powerful tools.
Purpose
It mainly solves the problems of remote access to 3D printers and print failure monitoring. When users are not next to the printer, they can securely access the printer over the internet, view live video, receive notifications, and use AI to detect print failures, thereby saving time and material.
Main Capabilities
- Unlimited full remote access: OctoPrint, Klipper, or the web portal can be loaded remotely, with speed close to that of a local network.
- Next-generation AI failure protection: a built-in free and unlimited 3D printing AI failure assistant called Gadget can detect common 3D printing failures, such as spaghetti-like tangled filament, bed adhesion problems, layer issues, and more, and will notify the user or automatically pause printing when a failure is detected.
- Print notifications: sent via push, Discord, Telegram, SMS, and other channels.
- Free camera streaming: supports 30 FPS camera streaming.
- Mobile apps: provides iPhone and Android apps, supporting OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab, Elegoo Centauri Carbon, and more.
- Multi-printer dashboard: includes snapshots and status.
- Public live links: with real-time statistics.
- Remote access for Spoolman and OctoFarm.
- Remote access sharing: can generate a unique shared connection link, with its validity period and effectiveness fully controlled by the user.
- Supports almost any 3D printer, including Bambu Lab, Elegoo, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Makerbot, Shapemaker, and more; supports printers running OctoPrint, Klipper, Moonraker, Mainsail, Fluidd, Bambu Lab OS, and Elegoo OS.
How to Use
The materials do not provide specific installation or configuration steps. The official statement says the plugin creates an end-to-end encrypted tunnel using industry-standard encryption; accounts are protected by email two-factor authentication, with optional time-based one-time verification codes. The service uses modern frameworks and follows leading security practices. Users can learn about it and get started through the official website.
Use Cases
- Individual users remotely monitoring and operating 3D printers.
- Print farms: AI failure detectionCan monitor printing and alert or pause when problems occur. A multi-printer dashboard provides a quick overview of all printer statuses and print snapshots. A notification system can alert when a printer errors or printing completes, so the next print can be scheduled.
- Scenarios that require sharing a public live stream or remote access for others to view.
Limitations and Account Notes
- Free accounts can add up to 3 printers.
- Supporter accounts include 5 printers, and each additional printer after that is $1/printer/month, allowing unlimited printers.
- The optional Supporter subscription is $2.49 per month and provides Supporter Perks. Advanced AI failure detection models, advanced camera streams, advanced live streaming, large file uploads and downloads, and up to 5 printers are among the Supporter tier benefits.
- OctoEverywhere is 100% funded by the community through Supporter Perks. Community funds are used directly to pay for services, development, business, and other project expenses; as Supporter Perks revenue increases, the limits on standard accounts will also increase.
- Privacy: The privacy policy clearly states that user data will never be sold to any third-party company or service; data, printer status, camera images, etc. remain within the service, are private to the user, and are controlled by the user.
- Security: Printers are not publicly exposed on the internet; users can share public access through a unique shared connection link, but the validity and lifecycle of the link are entirely controlled by the user.
- Compared with Obico: OctoEverywhere provides free unlimited AI failure detection, while Obico limits hours per month; OctoEverywhere also provides free unlimited AI failure detection, while Obico's free version only has 300MB per month; OctoEverywhere includes free full-frame-rate and full-resolution camera streams, while Obico only provides one frame per second.
- The materials do not provide other specific technical limitations, compatibility details, or price change information.
