OctoEverywhere

OctoEverywhere is designed to be a central command centre for a variety of 3D printer brands, Similarly to Octoprint. Octoeverywhere provides extensive printing notifications with AI failure detection, video streaming and remote access features. It is an open source project which utilises the Bambu Lab API.

In order for your printer to connect to OctoEverywhere, we will need to run a service on the local network. This can be done within Docker on a Raspberry Pi for example.
