So, you’ve got your shiny new printer, and just installed OctoPrint, great! Being able to remotely monitor your print is a fantastic ability. Being able to start a print remotely is incredibly handy. From within the realm of your local network, you have a ton of power at your fingertips. What if you want to be able to do this when you’re not on your local network? You could just forward ports on your router, use a DDNS service, and you’re good to go, right? … wrong.

OctoPrint is a wonderful addition to any 3D printer setup. It provides a really snappy, responsive interface and is extendable through plugins. You can run it on a RaspberryPi, or any PC you’ve got lying around.
