[@kellyjean4981]

This all sounds so incredible! Although coming from someone who doesn’t speak ‘computer’ lol, I’m completely lost. I will figure this all out one day I’m sure. Thank you for the great suggestions

[@JottyOL]

You didn't mention the imho best way: setup an access to your local network via VPN an do everything you can do being @home. Most routers make it easy to do so. Keep on going, your videos are great. 🙂

[@thenextlayer]

Yeah, this is pretty advanced for most people, though, and I understand there are some security risks?

[@JottyOL]

@@thenextlayer Being online is a security risk. But I trust an open source protocol more than any company’s app. And setting up a VPN is in many routers firmware quite easy. As a German I use AVM‘s FritzBox routers, they guide you through the setup in around 15 minutes.

[@Nortesport]

Great video. I have a PI zero 2 to use for this but what screen do I use ?

[@nypariah]

Just started watching your videos, (Gridfinity brought me here, heh.) pretty good content. Subscribed. However a huge Android fan here, please add some of that in the future, if you could? Thanks!

[@thenextlayer]

Hey Rob, thanks so much for the kind words, and the subscribe :) I don't own any Android devices... perhaps you can research for me and let me know which ones are good :)

[@eraldylli]

I wonder, is there any good reason for sticking with Octoprint now that there is support pretty much for all printers in Klipper? Less plugins in Klipper, sure, but you wont miss them after a while.

[@thenextlayer]

My printers don't run on Klipper, and when I've looked at converting them to Klipper, it's always seemed too intimidating, and like I'll have too much downtime that could be spent printing. If there were an easier way that was plug-and-play, I'd do it, but I don't like tinkering with my printers more than I have to... that said, I REALLY want Klipper for the faster printing speeds.

[@eraldylli]

@@thenextlayer It's very easy to get Klipper running. Not one-click-easy, but easy nonetheless. You'll kick yourself eventually for not doing it sooner.

[@eraldylli]

Also, there is guides and configs for like 95% of all printers.

[@dennysawyer3980]

@@thenextlayer It's not all that difficult to get Klipper working on most printers - especially if you start out using one of the sample config files available on the Klipper web site, but it does take some time to dial in the configuration. That said, some manufacturers are starting to pay attention and provide printers that run Klipper. Creality's new "Sonic Pad" looks like a good option if you're willing to spend $159, but right now it only includes firmware for their newer printers. I'm still tempted to try it with my Ender-3 Pro. I've got my Ender-3 Pro running on Klipper right now, using a Raspberry Pi. It took a couple of days to dial it in, but I haven't started trying to push the print speeds just yet. I'm happy with it, especially since Input Shaping got rid of the ringing and Pressure Advance helped with corners and stringing. And tweaking settings is a simple matter of editing the printer.cfg file. If I decide to go back to Marlin, it's just a matter of popping the SD card with the firmware on it into the printer and restarting it. (I also kept the OctoPi SD card from my Raspberry Pi just in case.)

[@rollseboy]

Loved the video how do you get multiple instances of octoprint?

[@thenextlayer]

You go into the conf files and rename their localities, for example i have Prusa.local and Creality.local (each running on their own pi)

[@rollseboy]

@@thenextlayer thankyou for that. Ill look how to get to the config files ect. Thankyou :)

[@rollseboy]

@@thenextlayer gonna be a pain here, but where are the cofig files. Cant find them on the SD card

[@justinscharr2484]

This dude is so good looking. Very charismatic.

[@Quinninator]

Great video, I loved the content! It was really helpful and very well explained. I'm looking forward to more content in the future!

[@thenextlayer]

Awesome, thank you! Make sure you're subbed with notifications, I have some cool new projects coming soon. Also, do you have any requests for videos you'd be interested in?

[@Dabetus01]

I need help setting mine up ughh im new

[@3D_Printing]

No IP for octoprint any more, used if over a long time before but now no access

[@3D_Printing]

Just plugged in a LAN cable and it seems to work on a different IP

[@CrazyMineCuber]

Just set up a VPN server on your network and you will always have access to your home network. I use WireGuard and once setup, it works flawlessly.

[@BenReese]

I agree with JJTVism - a VPN is by far the best option. No, it's not super easy to setup, but neither is OctopPi. TailScale is as easy or maybe easier than setting up OctoPi. ZeroTier is probably just as easy, but I haven't tried it.

[@thenextlayer]

A bit over my head honestly!

[@photelegy]

Tried to access it from my TI-30 calculator, but it sadly didn't work. Some help?

[@thenextlayer]

LOL

[@philsfirealarm]

Love This Video Will be using these

[@thenextlayer]

NICE, thanks. I've since switched to Obico b/c they added a lot of features I didn't know about

[@kingsidorak]

You gotta adjust your audio levels, and not force us to get blasted away when the intro plays because your voice is so low in comparison

[@thenextlayer]

Thanks for letting me know, I will tell my video editor, thanks :)

[@sethalbert1239]

If you dont pay you cant even use your camera on your local network...Seemed to leave that out.

[@spideyguy999]

the intro is WAY to loud

[@smeendermann]

As you having two printers also take a look at OctoFarm! :) It's a pretty handy tool to manage multiple printers. Awesome channel you're building up, can't wait for a Discord or sth. similar for the growing communitY! :)
