The best thing about OctoPrint is we can control it remotely and also monitor what's happening with the ongoing print. Additionally, to start and stop the OctoPrint, you don't have to be physically present; you can do it remotely, and it's very cost-effective because it's free and an open-source platform.

The process of installation is a bit difficult, it takes some time, and sometimes I feel that there are TCP signals lost during connection, nothing more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This open-source gem offers an incredibly intuitive web interface that lets me manage and monitor my 3D printer from anywhere. I love the remote control features that allow me to start, pause, or stop prints even when I'm not at home. The webcam support is fantastic for keeping an eye on prints in real-time. The integration with popular slicing software makes generating G-code a breeze. The plugin system is a game-changer; I've added timelapse recording and temperature graphs to enhance my printing insights. OctoPrint's G-code visualization and temperature monitoring ensure my prints are going smoothly. Plus, the option for remote access is a bonus. Overall, OctoPrint has added a new level of convenience and control to my 3D printing workflow, making it an indispensable tool for any enthusiast or professional.

I don't have a lot to say in the negative column about Octoprint. It does require hardware, which can be a downside for some people, but we run it on a Raspberry Pi, which is inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoprint gives you complete control over your printer from a web interface. This allows you to check on your prints from anywhere! It also allows you to customize almost anything you want with the available plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact they they run on a raspberry pi which are crazy expensive right now. Other than that octoprint is a great product with a little bit of a learning curve that once you know what to do it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to access your 3D printer through your LAN without physically being at the printer. Some plugins are invaluable for a 3D printing enthusiast, e.g. Telegram bot and also Obi Owl. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plugin development seems to have stopped. Additional plugins would be great. Depending on the 3D printer, some local functionality is lost when using OctoPrint, e.g. progress and control on the touch screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about OctoPrint is its user interface, you don't require much expertise to know how to use the plug-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe can add some more features, however for the price and functionality it still does a pretty good job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Octoprint gives me the ability to remotely monitor and control prints on my printers. The web interface is simple yet full featured and it can be made to work with all of my 3d printers. It also allows me to start prints when I am away so I can be more productive. Having a web cam lets me see if there are flaws so I can cancel a print before I waste too much material.

The only issues I have had with OctoPrint is if I cancel a print and try to restart it. Sometimes a restarted print will fail right away. I have found that you can not cancel during warm up. Instead, cancel right after and it negates the issue. Cura slicing has not worked properly for me built in OctoPrint. It would be nice if that integration was corrected so it was useful again. Having to have my printers profile on every one of my devices in order to slice is a bit annoying when it could be hosted in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software makes using the 3D printer and getting statistics very simple and easy. Setup is in no time and there are so many plug-ins to enhance the experience. Timelapses are lots fun, and lots of tools to troubleshoot issues and manage things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to really dislike, it works as intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
