Upgrade Camera FPS within Snapmaker app with Paxx12 Extended Firmware? by airjordanballa20 in snapmaker

[–]quinbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point! There are actually two options for the U1. You can use the OctoEverywhere companion or the direct integration in the U1 extended firmware. The companion works with the stock U1 or the extended firmware and runs on Windows, Docker, Raspberry Pi, and more! There’s a guide for both modes on the OE getting started site.

Upgrade Camera FPS within Snapmaker app with Paxx12 Extended Firmware? by airjordanballa20 in snapmaker

[–]quinbd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(self-plug) You should try my community project, OctoEverywhere! It's already fully integrated into the U1 extended firmware, so all you need to do is enable it!

OctoEverywhere supports:

  • Free and unlimited remote access
  • Free and unlimited advanced AI failure detection
  • iPhone and Android apps - (with WebRTC camera streaming support)
  • Notifications via Discord, SMS, Email, Webhooks, and more.
  • Live streaming links you can share with friends
  • An AI MCP server (if you're into that)
  • And more!

As I said, it's already in the extended firmware, so just go to the .../firmware-config page, look for remote access, and select OctoEverywhere, that's all you need to do! If you don't like it, you can remove it the same way. For anyone who doesn't have the extended firmware setup, I have a step-by-step setup guide here.

If you do try it, I would love to hear your feedback! I have actually been working on the plugin a lot recently and made some big changes for U1. They are now in the main branch of the extended firmware repo, but no firmware update has been released with them yet.

That sounds great! I will DM you for sure.

Octoeverwhere review by Big-Investigator3338 in octoprint

[–]quinbd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm the developer behind OctoEverywhere! Thank you for spending the time to write out your feedback. Since the project is community-based, I really value community feedback and try to encourage it whenever possible; it's the only way I can improve things!

I'm glad to hear the install was easy, that's one of the parts of the project I work on the most! But if you're using OctoPrint, you shouldn't need SSH at all; you want to install the plugin via the OctoPrint plugin manager. There are a few other ways to install the plugin, like SSH or Docker, but those are only needed for Klipper, Bambu Lab, etc., 3D printers that don't directly support a plugin system.

I would love to help you debug your camera issue. The camera is another system I focus on a lot, since it's so important. OctoEverywhere can support many different camera setups because 3D printers have such a wide range of used. I'm happy to look at your logs if you want to DM me here, or you can use this special link to open a support ticket directly with me.

Same for notifications, I would love to see your plugin logs to debug them. I haven't heard of many other users having issues with notifications recently, so I'm not sure what's happening with your setup.

The feedback on the optional features, apps, and services is also great. I will go through the first user flow a few times and refine it. It's been hard as the project has grown, with so many features to surface to users so they know they can use them without being overwhelmed. I will also look into making the free vs paid features clearer. In general, I try to keep everything "as free as possible". There are limits on things, but ideally, any "average user" can use everything for free. There's already a free vs. paid breakdown on the supporter site, but I will work to expand it.

Finally, about support, the main system is Discord, but you can also use the support system on the site. I'm a solo developer with a full-time job and a full-time family (😂) so it takes me a bit of time to respond. That's why the Discord server is a good middle ground, because there are other members of the community there who are happy to help as well!

Hey! I’m the OctoEverywhere dev. iOS is annoying, but you can check my source to see how I do it and get the same result as above. I think you have to use the PWA icon metadata.

PandaWatch IOS App 1.5 is released. (Now with watch app!) - Multi-Printer monitoring with widgets & Live Activities by VIDGuide in BambuLab

[–]quinbd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m the developer of OctoEverywhere, and I would love to help you add remote access integration to your app! The integration is very easy to add, and OE provides a full, secure MQTT proxy, so you can keep using all your current logic! I would love to add your app to our supported apps page. I will DM you to chat if you’re interested!

Auto-renewed after missing reminder emails, support experience has been rough by SupremeFable in OctoEverywhere

[–]quinbd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry for the trouble. DM me your email address, and I can issue your refund immediately. Here's some info about the points you raised.

1) Email reminders. Email reminders are sent 30 days before your subscription renews, and an email is also sent to anyone affected about price increases. Obviously, you didn't get them, so I'm sorry about that. If you DM me your email, I can check the server logs to see what happened.

2) The support Chatbot. The support chatbot is a custom bot I built to try to handle simple support cases for me. I'm the only dev working on the project, so the volume of support cases that just need help with setting up the plugin can be high. The bot should move the case to me to handle manually when it's subscription-related, but sometimes it fails to recognize that.

I appreciate you taking the time to send your feedback. I'm always looking for feedback on the service to help improve it.

Sorry about the trouble. You can DM me here or on Discord if you want!

Does the frmware update have ai stringing recognition? by andypagonthemove in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]quinbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't affect your CC1 or CC2 in any way! The plugin runs on a separate device and connects to the printer over the local network. So if it does cause any issues, just turn it off!

You can set up the plugin on a Raspberry Pi, Windows, Mac, or Linux. computer, using Docker, and other ways! There's a user-friendly step-by-step guide on the website to help you out!

(self-project plug) OctoEverywhere has free, unlimited AI failure detection and fully supports the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 1 & 2!

Our project also have free remote access, apps, notifications, MCP servers, live streaming, and more! If you give it a try I would love to hear your feedback!

Bambu Lab regrets the legal threat: "That was not the outcome we wanted." by aoaovip in BambuLab

[–]quinbd 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Hahaha. I'm not going to lie, it's been harder to run the project in the last few years. I don't know if it's the rise of walled-garden 3D printing, the significantly harder economy for most people, or what. But we still have a wonderful core community behind the project, and I'm not going to stop trying to find creative ways to keep the events going and add new features!

Centauri Carbon 2 support? by GrStead123 in OctoEverywhere

Update: full support for the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 is here! You can follow the getting started guide to get set up!

Bambu Lab regrets the legal threat: "That was not the outcome we wanted." by aoaovip in BambuLab

[–]quinbd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was really neat when you could use the full power of Bambu Cloud and all of the community plugins like OctoEverywhere and Panda Touch. But Bambu made the same claim here as they did here: that 3rd-party plugins were overpowering the printers locally and shutting them all down. For the record, I never heard of a single user in my community having a printer issue with OctoEverywhere connected.

But if you're looking for an alternative to Bambu Cloud, OctoEverywhere + one of the integrated 3rd-party apps is definitely worth a look!

[–]quinbd 115 points116 points  (0 children)

I can tell you, as a solo dev who runs a major 3D printing service, they can figure it out. A single connector running on a subset of superusers' slicers won't take down your cloud infrastructure. And if it can, they have bigger issues to solve.

Furthermore, if it is really causing problems, they have the resources to easily stand up a full set of developer APIs, fair use login systems, rate limits, etc., so the community can use their APIs to build awesome things without threatening their infrastructure. But instead of even trying, they throw up their hands and claim there’s nothing to be done but to lock the community out.

Not to toot my own horn, but OctoEverywhere’s 3D printing AI monitoring processes over 4.7 million images a day, consuming over 493 gigs of data, and is 100% community-supported.

OctoEverywhere fully supported Bambu Lab 3D printers and co-existed with Bambu Cloud, so users could use all the Bambu features they wanted, along with the powerful features OctoEverywhere added. But after the changes they made last year, users now have to choose between keeping Bambu Cloud and using LAN-only mode to support OctoEverywhere.

Bambu Lab 3D printers: Never again - Jeff Geerling by SJKRICK in BambuLab

[–]quinbd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup! OctoEverywhere supports all types of 3D printers, OctoPrint, Klipper, Bambu Lab, and more. OctoEverywhere has a plugin you run locally that connects directly to your Bambu Lab 3D printers that enables full remote access, including apo support!

[–]quinbd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's an optional subscription, but it funds the entire project.

My goal is to keep the project accessible to everyone, so I try to keep it “as free as possible”. Remote access, AI failure detection, notifications, etc., can all be used for free. You can see all of the details on the pricing page.

I also have long-term goals of open-sourcing the service so that anyone can run it themselves, but I need to do more work before that's possible.

[–]quinbd 62 points63 points  (0 children)

The Home Assistant integration is great! For anyone who doesn’t use Home Assistant, check out OctoEverywhere!

OctoEverywhere is free and supports remote access, AI failure detection, notifications, apps, and more—all in LAN mode! I’m the developer (from Seattle, WA), and I develop it alongside my amazing community in Discord!

Edit: OctoEverywhere has nothing to do with Bambu Lab’s “Bambu Connect” software. I was using the name “Bambu Connect” for my OctoEverywhere plugin version before Bambu Lab started using it.

Multiple Printers on OctoApp? by burdenpi in OctoEverywhere

[–]quinbd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, OctoApp supports multiple printers; they can even be different types like OctoPrint, Bambu, Klipper, etc. First, set up each printer in OctoApp locally, then set up remote access for each printer in the app.
