Octopus for Octoprint

Octopus for Octoprint

Apr 29, 2022

Hello friends -

I've just finished up my first Android app - Octopus for Octoprint!

Octopus for Octoprint allows you to connect and control Octoprint from your phone or tablet! Multiple Octoprint instances are supported - one easy app and interface for all your 3D printers. It even integrates with the Spool Manager plugin for tracking your filament use, and the Slicer Thumbnail plugin for showing a preview of your model.

I developed this for my own personal use case where I wanted easier control over my printers while I was setting them up for prints. I found the Octoprint interface slow and the UX poor, was irritated that most other apps that support multiple printers cost a lot of money, and frustrated that I couldn't figure out how to set Z-Offset directly on one of my printers. This app solves all my problems, and when running on a Tablet in Landscape mode, I'm able to control both printers at once without excessive scrolling, app switching, or tab switching.

It's definitely not the prettiest app, it doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but at the end of the day it provides a simple interface into all your 3D printers.

Oh, and it's also Ad free! Get it from Google Play Today!

Enjoy!
