I've been using OctoEverywhere since pretty much the beginning and it's always been fantastic. There's nothing out there that does what it does so seamlessly and the guy who runs it is very responsive and professional. Very happy with it.
That looks way better than all the others I have tried. I finally took the time to setup a VPN, and that solved all my connections into my network at once. But may go back to revisit this.
Another option for people who don’t mind setting up a vpn and use iPhone is octopod. Running an openvpn server on a pi is super easy. Once you get it all setup and can connect from your phone you simply install the plug in for octoprint and install the octopod app which is free and open source. you can then remotely control all your printers, view all your camera streams in real time with no limits and you can even monitor them from your Apple Watch. Yes you have to setup a vpn, but it’s easy and secure and you don’t have to pay any fees monthly.
Hey Chris. I just have to say you are one of the best. I really like the way you explain things, direct to the point. I watched your video about bed levelling on Marlin 2.0 and you explained many things I wanted to know for a long time. I'd comment on that video, but comments are disabled there. Anyway, keep this great work.
Chris, Where do you find the time to keep producing such good material? This is a great addition to Octoprint and will be very useful for anyone who is not always at home.
Hi Chris, excellent explanation in all your tutorials. always worth seeing. After watching this tutorial, I have a query. Can I use this with Fluiddpi and Klipper or is there some other option?
Hi Chris What a great job you are doing, you convinced my partner and I to go for it. Our prusa mini is celebrating its first day of work while the Mark3S is being assembled. We followed your installation protocol on the pi 3b+ without any problem! Thanks again for your great work. One question though, we have successfully launched a print from octoprint with tracking of instruments and print progress (time left/slicer). However, when we launch a print from the usb key for example (the pi 3b+ is always connected), octoprint does not update the status of the machine and does not follow the progress of the print in progress. I intend to manage everything on octoprint soon but is there a plugin that follows the printings launched "manually" when there are. Thanks again for your help.
Prusa has done some tricks to keep the printer sort of "locked" while Octoprint is active. They have done it so one doesn't conflict with the other. I think there might be a plugin that will track the M73 command that Prusa uses. That might do the trick.
Hi Chris, how are you? I have an MKS E3D V1.1 card, when I try to use Octoprint my printing stops (Printer Hanged), I already changed the baud rate that the card connected from 250000 to 115200 and that did not solve the problem. Have you ever had a problem similar to using Octoprint related to stop printing after the process has started?
Yes, I have seen that before, it is usually something in the firmware that the printer is running. I have corrected it by upgrading the firmware in the past.
Howdy. Great video. I just started using klipper for processing features like arc welder and input shaper. Anyway just wondering if this plugin would be compatible with Klipper /Fluidd ?
Chris, I don't want to add more software to learn to use a 3D printer, and would prefer to use a remote, off site Cura, with direct links to octopi. What is the secure way to do this? I know that I could use an app like Teamviewer and log into a local PC on the home network and run Cura there, but is there another way that I can create a secure link from a remove Cura instance? (I also sent you a tweet)
@@ChrisRiley hi Chris, I believe if we can set up piVPN on the raspberry pi along side octoprint it would enable creating a tunnel to my grandsons house, it would not be difficult the piVPN would create a key which would be installed at my grandsons house in a client open on. I tried to install it on my pi with octoprint installed but it would not install. Looked like there was a block on creating new directories and adding the necessary files and I’m not sure how to get around that. Also, I don’t have a good feel for how much performance octoprint uses and how much piVPN uses. I have a pi 4 with 2gb which I believe should be powerful enough.
Anyone else gets an error when trying to connect from a printer from another instance? It says that the printer is already on this account. I'm trying to connect a PrusaMK3, 2 Anycubics and a Creality CR10S PRO
I don't know if you can help me as I'm doing this on a windows PC. I have a PI coming soon. I followed your instructions buy that plugin never installed even after a restart. When I went to try it again I couldn't find the plugin in the search.
I am not sure what is going on, but that usually means it thinks the plugin is installed. Make sure it is enabled in the install list, there should be a toggle switch.
I followed your tutorial on how to add another instance of octoprint to my second printer. But I cant make octoeverywhere recognize the second instance. It seems to think it is already setup, since I set it up with my first instance before. So both instances are recognized as one... please help
Interesting, but I think I'll stick with my OpenVPN server! I did however create a few php scripts on my webserver to get all cams on screen simultaneously (or offline message if printer off). Quite like to have came on FireTV in bedroom, but do use away from home occasionally (mostly at home due to Covid lately).
Hi James, you're logging in from the web browser right? I'm just curious if multiple instances could be accessed from the octoprint app? Did you tried? Thanks for any input.
@@neagoecatalin879 I run separate Pies for each printer. Never tried with different instances on same Pi. I quite like using desperate ones TBH as there isn't one point of failure! Plus one of them is a Pi2 and can struggle a bit. Yes, it's just a PHP processing script which pings each printer in turn and creates a table with either "offline.jpg" or the path to the camera in relevent boxes! The PHP runs on a whole separate Pi which functions as webserver (household stuff, instructions, Christmas decoration controls, bus times, etc), MQTT server, printer & scanner server, etc. Really needs updating as is still running Wheezy!
@@ChrisRiley It's not a complex script TBH (you can certainly manage better). All it does is pings the relevent IP addresses/hostnames (dropped out to command line, was lazy) for each printer and then substitutes "offline.jpg" for the mjpeg stream address in the outputted html. I actually wrote multiple versions over the years (originally started for my local hackspace). But mostly comes down to one for "tall" screens (my phone) and one for "wide" screens (FireTV while reading/eating/cleaning/etc or tablet)! Although the "tall" version doesn't have an offline.jpg. Just substitutes text! E.g. "Ender 3 offline" (fit better on screen, can't think what'll happen when I get to 4th printer!). If I can remember I'll try to e-mail you it.
Can this be used to say allow my friends to watch the print or the gcode tab live (the stream or the gcode tab thing in octoprint) with out them having access to my full octoprint functions?? I'm looking for something that can do that also
@@ChrisRiley it's working now, whenever I went on Octo everywhere then tried to sign in octiprint would say my details were invalid, I had to turn the raspberry pi off and reload everything then it started working
Hello! Sorry for my English )). I installed Octoprint on my Windows 10 computer according to your video instructions for which, I thank you very much. Everything works fine. But I ran into a problem, I do not show video from the camera in octo everywhere. The path in the octoprint is: http: // my ip address: 8081 / video.mjpg. Please tell me what I need to do to octoeverywhere was the video camera showing?
Thank you for sharing, Chris. In a very professional way. Actually I'm using a VPN server handled by my Assus router and the octo remote app on the phone. The octo everywhere looks very promising but still, correct me if I'm wrong, it still uses a cloud and, by comparison i think that VPN is more secure and faster than cloud. I'm not a suspicious guy but cloud is cloud.... I don't know if the octo remote app can handle multiple instances, tough so this might be a big pro for the cloud based platform. Anyway, thank you, all the best!
This feels like the a fusion of the Fusion 360 route. Slowly the clamps will come on, and people will realize its open source but obscure or some part of it is missing and then the already high 40 bucks a year will start creeping. Yea, yea, I know. Pessimistic, but thats modern software as a service. If I ignore the nagging sensation that the above will happen it sounds just fine.
Given the limitations of the free account, I prefer the Octoprint Telegram bot plugin. Oops... you show an IP and an email address in the video (phone section).
I use OctoRemote when I'm home, but that doesn't work when you're not on the same WiFi. OctoEverywhere is essentially the same as logging into Octopi.local. So all of your plugins and any other themes or whatever you're using are available.
Hi Steve, i think that the Spaghetti is having a different mission, here. It might be seen as a more capable tool but i don't know if it's really doing all that octoprint everywhere does, like multiple instances for example. But it does detect the failures and it's able to pause the print and notice you.
god whoever designed octoeverywhere site needs to be fired thats ridiculous cursive font is illegible mostly.. there has to be a better alternative, think im just going to port forward and use browser on phone, thanks anyhow for the video
Your video makes setup so easy I thought I was skipping steps!
Thank you! That's great to hear
Thanks Chris. Super easy to follow video as always! Had been looking and waiting for something like this! Cheers
I'm here to help! Thank you

Yeah, I figured a lot of us tech types probably had VPN, but this was super easy to setup, worth checking out.
Man, thanks!! I have been looking for an easy, straightforward solution.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video. Love the fact I don't have to create a tunnel through my home security to be able to see and control my 3D printer.

Hi Chris
What a great job you are doing, you convinced my partner and I to go for it. Our prusa mini is celebrating its first day of work while the Mark3S is being assembled.
