So you just set up a new Klipper-based printer with Moonraker, Mainsail, or Fluidd, and now you want to make the most of it. Well, it’s time to power up with plugins!
Here’s our list of the top 5 Klipper plugins to level up your printing:
OctoEverywhere is the most powerful and valuable plugin for Klipper-based printers to date. It provides the community free and unlimited remote access to Mainsail and Fluidd, next-gen AI print failure detection, real-time notifications, live streaming, and more. That’s a lot to digest; let’s break it down.
Remote Access – OctoEverywhere has built a worldwide network of servers to provide the maker community with lighting-fast printer management and control from anywhere. Using OctoEverywhere, you get free, secure, and private access to your full Mainsail, Fluidd, or OctoPrint portal from anywhere. Unlimited remote access, including webcam streaming, what more could you want?
Next-Gen AI Print Failure Detection – Gadget is OctoEverywhere’s AI failure assistant. Released in 2022, Gadget is powered by cutting-edge ML technology and is considered one of the best and most accurate 3D print failure AI systems available. Gadget can recognize many common print failures like filament spaghetti, bed adhesion problems, layer issues, and more. The best part? Gadget is 100% free and unlimited for all users.
Real-time Notifications – Print complete, print progress, AI failure detection warnings, and filament change notifications are just some things OctoEverywhere can inform you of with information-rich and full-resolution snapshot notifications. Notifications can be sent wherever you want; pushed to your phone, email, SMS, Discord, Telegram, Slack, and more! Check out this page for more information.
OctoEverywhere was designed to be free for the community, easy to set up, and completely secure. It’s a no-brainer for all Klipper printer users. Click here to learn how to set up OctoEverywhere in just 20 seconds!
2. Mobileraker Companion
Mobileraker is the best mobile app for controlling your Moonraker-based printers on the go. Available for both iOS and Android, Mobileraker has all the features you need to quickly check in on your printer, manage your prints, and control your printer.
The Mobileraker Companion plugin helps Mobileraker be even more powerful by integrating directly into your Moonraker setup. With the deeper integration, Mobileraker can deliver direct notifications, advance control of Moonraker, and more. This plugin is a necessity for anyone using Mobileraker.
3. Klipper Screen
Klipper Screen is a no-brainer for users with a screen attached to their Klipper device. Klipper screen shows real-time stats about your printer, allowing you to move the axes, start prints, and more. With a rich and modern UI, Klipper screen beautifully complements Mainsail or Fluidd on any setup.
The Klipper Screen is constantly evolving and improving, so check out their GitHub page and follow it for future notifications!
4. PrettyGCode for Klipper
Pretty GCode is a full WebGL-based gcode preview and simulator plugin. This plugin lets you render your entire print in a full 3D view from any browser.
Open gcode files and run through the layers to preview exactly what you’re going to print. Or sync the preview with your printer in real-time and include the full live 3d model in your OBS streams! For users with too many gcode files on their system, this plugin is excellent for keeping them straight!
5. Moonraker Telegram Bot
Like OctoEverywhere’s real-time notifications, Moonraker Telegram Bot lets you send printer notifications directly via a Telegram bot. The notifications include information about your running print and full-resolution webcam snapshots.
This plugin also allows for limited printer control by sending commands via Telegram messages. Typing / in your chat will show the complete list of commands supported. Commands include status, pause, resume, and cancel, just to name a few.
Those are our picks for the top Klipper plugins of 2023. What do you think? We would love to hear your feedback!
Today we wanted to share a few feature service updates we are excited about!
🤖 Gadget Power Improvements
We are excited to put even more power behind Gadget, our next-generation AI print failure detection system. The community already loves Gadget, and it’s just getting better. Along with Gadget continuously learning and improving from the communities feedback, Gadget now has double the computing power. Right now, the result of this increased power is lower time between print checks, resulting in faster and more accurate failure detections. In the future, this increase in power might lead to things like using being able to use more powerful ML algorithms to make Gadget even better. We want to do so much in the AI failure detection space; we are so happy that we have such a fantastic foundation and are excited about the future!
💻 Server Upgrades
It’s not just Gadget that got a power increase; we also have upgraded our worldwide server infrastructure to run on more powerful, faster, and better-connected servers. This new fleet of servers powers everything you know and love about OctoEverywhere, and ensures all of the features and services we provide run lighting fast. You will see improved page loading times, smoother webcam streaming, and Live Links that can scale to more concurrent viewers than ever.
🚀 Epic New Features
We constantly work on new features, listen to the community, and try new ideas. Our #1 goal is to make the best cloud service for the 3D printing community, let your ideas shine, and empower you every step of the way. We release bug fixes and small tweaks often a week, new, more minor features every few weeks, and one or two large features yearly. We are excited that this year will be no different. We already had a massive launch of Klipper support in the spring of this year, and we are really excited to show what we are working on next. Towards the end of this year (2023), watch for a major announcement of a new feature coming to OctoEverywhere in 2023. 😃
⚙️Support Adjustments
As OctoEveyrwhere grows, some things always have to change. We strive to keep OctoEveywhere accessible to everyone by offering as many of our features as free as we can. We think this is a major part of our contribution to the 3d printing community and stand committed to keeping it. But as we continue to develop the project, our community continues to grow, and as the numerous 3rd party services we rely on run OctoEverywhere continue to change, the cost of running the service fluctuates over time. For these reasons, we will increase all supporter processes by only $1. Extra printer costs will also go up by $0.50 from the current price. This still keeps OctoEverywhere as the lowest-cost option among any 3D printing cloud servers available. Beyond being the lowest price option, we still support the most and most advanced features of any cloud-based 3d printing platform.
We also believe in transparency, and thus, we are posting this blog post and sending emails to all users who will be affected 14 days before the price change is applied. Any user can add, edit, modify, or cancel their supporter perks at anytime on our website, using the supporter page.
OctoEveywhere is 100% driven and funded by the community. We live, breathe, and bleed OctoEveywhere and love working on this project because of the way we see our community embrace it. We can’t do it without you, and we thank you all for your support.
We love to communicate with everyone in our community. If you have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, or feedback, please contact us directly.

OctoEverywhere’s User Dashboard Showing Live Webcams And Printer Status
OctoEverywhere is a free, private, and secure service that cloud empowers your printing – taking it to the next level. By focusing on working with the maker community to build the best tool possible, OctoEverywhere has achieved a 4.9/5 star rating and is the #1 rated remote access plugin on OctoPrint. Along with OctoPrint support, OctoEverywhere fully supports the Klipper printer ecosystem, including Moonraker, Fluidd, Mainsail, Mobileraker, and more.
The core of OctoEverywhere is free and unlimited remote access to your printer control web portal, be it OctoPrint, Fluidd, Mainsaild, or any other software. The remote access includes full webcam streaming and plugin support. It’s insanely fast, sometimes even faster than your local network, thanks to OctoEverywhere’s advanced worldwide mesh of high-performance servers and next-generation caching systems.
As if that wasn’t enough, OctoEverywhere offers users free and unlimited AI print failure detection, a system they call Gadget. Gadget continuously monitors your prints in real time and can detect many common print failures. Print spaghetti, layer issues, adhesion issues, and more can be detected by Gadget, which will then automatically pause the print. Gadget is one of the best AI detection systems, with over a 96% detection success rate. It’s a killer free feature that saves you time and money.
OctoEverywhere continuously adds new features for the maker community based on their feedback and needs. Recent features include beautifully crafted and information-rich notifications that can be sent via email, SMS, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Pushover, and more. Print live streaming, including real-time print information and a live webcam stream that can be shared on any social platform. An information-dense “quick glance” dashboard where you can quickly see the status of all your printers. Remote access sharing and many more features we can’t fit in our review.
OctoEverywhere has an optional supporter subscription that helps pay for the service operation cost and development. Users who opt-in to being a project supporter get Supporter Perks, which makes OctoEverywhere even more powerful. The optional supporter subscription starts at $2.99/month, the lowest cost among all these remote access options we reviewed.
OctoEverywhere has a growing and welcoming community surrounding the project. The community contributes feature ideas, helps develop new features, reports service issues, provides printing help, and more. Most of the community engages on OctoEveywhere’s Discord server and some on Twitter.
Why It’s Our Top Pick
OctoEverywhere offers the most features from any 3d printing cloud services we reviewed. On top of that, all of its powerful features are free and unlimited for the entire community. OctoEverywhere’s mission is to empower the worldwide maker community to print better with free and secure cloud-based features. OctoEverywhere keeps its promise by offering tons of free features and only costs $2.99/month for even more advanced access and project support. $2.99/month is the lowest-cost option among all the services we reviewed and includes the most unlimited limits.
Free real-time notifications to email, Slack, and more.
Live streaming of prints to anyone in the world.
Full OctoPrint support and partial Klipper support.
3rd party app support.
Open source software.
1 printer connected for free.
$4.00/month for 1 printer with advanced features.
Obico’s User Dashboard Interface
Obico has been part of the 3d printing community for a long time. It originally started as The Spaghetti Detective, featuring AI failure detection of spaghetti print failures. The project has grown to include more significant features like remote access, live streaming, and partial Kipper support.
Over the years, Obico has added many useful features to its service. Obico supports 3rd party OctoPrint apps, real-time notifications, live streaming of prints, and more.
The biggest downside of Obico is the limits on free accounts and cost. Compared to OctoEverywhere, Obico offers the same features, but Obico’s offering is much more limited. Obico’s free version only allows 300MB of remote data per month, limits webcam streams to 1 frame per second, limits AI failure detection to 10 hours per month, and only allows 1 connected printer.
The paid version of Obico starts at $4.00/month for one printer and includes 50 AI failure detection hours a month, unlimited tunneling data, and premium webcam streaming. Additional printers cost $2.00/printer/month. It’s a hard sell against OctoEverywhere’s free accounts, which include unlimited remote data, unlimited webcam FPS, and unlimited AI failure detection hours for up to 5 printers.
Obico’s extensive and vibrant community surrounding the project contributes to its open-source core and helps support the project. The community is a great place to hang out, get support, and get your printing questions answered. One advantage Obico has over OctoEverywhere is that it can be self-hosted, a nice option for users with advanced server management and networking skills.
Prusa is one of the beloved 3d printing manufacturers that make many commonly used printers such as the Prusa Mini+, Prusa i3 MK3S+, Prusa XL, and more. Prusa connect is their in-house remote printer control system that’s currently being developed.
From the beta website, Prusa advertises that Prua Connect can give a status overview of multiple printers, enable remote printing for multiple printers, and do file management of multiple printers. These are great features for large-scale print farms but less useful for individual makers.
Much about Prusa Connect is unknown since the product isn’t publicly available. Many speculate it will only be available for Prusa printers. The other big unknown is pricing, which Prusa hasn’t announced yet.
Astro print is a great solution for multi-user and multi-printer setups. Astro print is geared towards managing big printer fleets, including features like material control and management, cloud slicing, one-model to-many printer queuing, job queuing, and more.
Casual makers can use Astro Print to manage one to ten printers, but the user experience isn’t as ideal as OctoEverywhere or Obico for most setups. Astro Print also lacks many consumer-level features like AI failure detection, 3rd party support, live streaming notifications, and Klipper support.
Astro Print free accounts allow for 2 connected printers, 1 user account, and 1GB of cloud storage for models. Advance features start at $9.90/month with 5 printers included and $5/printer/month after the first 5.
Like Astro Print, Simply Print is more for medium to large print farm users. The UI and feature set work well when managing many printers simultaneously, as in a more enterprise setup.
Simply Print provides a robust cloud slicer, essential when printing from mobile. Lacks many consumer-level features, such as full remote access, AI failure detection, Klipper support, and 3rd party app support.
The free account level allows for 2 connected printers, 1 GB of cloud storage, and a 1 frame per 6 seconds webcam live stream.
Can only be self-hosted; no cloud service is available.
Requires custom firmware on your printer.
Repetier is the classic and one of the first 3d printing control software systems. The repeater system requires custom firmware to be flashed on your printer and a dedicated host device running the server software.
Since Repetier has been around for a long time, it has many great features like multi-extruder support, multi-slicer support, multi-part printing, and more. Repetier-Host is a powerful local interface that lets you track your print.
Since Repeiter-Server is the self-hosted cloud option, which can be used to set up remote access to your printer from anywhere. The server should only be exposed to the public internet by a networking professional to ensure it doesn’t become a way for attackers to enter your home network.
OctoEverywhere is coming up on its second birthday, and we are humbled by the community we have built. We were over the moon today when we noticed that we are not officially one of the top 3 OctoPrint plugins!
Wowzers! We are surrounded by many amazing OctoPrint plugins, including Bed Level Visualizer, Print Time Genius, Octolapse, Firmware Updater, Themeify, and more. We honestly can’t believe we got here, and we only have our amazing community to thank for it. We promise to keep delivering amazing features to continue empowering your 3D printing.
Thanks to each and every one of you. Gadget will be coming soon, so keep an eye out!
Oh wow, it’s almost been two months since we announced Gadget! Time has flown by and we wanted to update the community on our progress. And man… have we made progress!
100% truthfully, we were blown away by the community’s excitement about Gadget. We had already been working on Gadget for a few months before its public release, and seeing energy from our community was magical. We have had thousands of sign-ups for the beta and even had some of our community members make Gadget 3D printable models. (how cute!)
We opened up the first version of Gadget to about 300 lucky community members around one month ago. Gadget had a solid foundation, but the feedback from our beta community significantly reshaped major parts of Gadget. Now Gadget is more useful and looking better than ever!
Gadget’s Inspection Count In Just 24 Hours!
A few stats on Gadget. We recently doubled the power of Gadget, so Gadget can now process more than 3 million images daily. Talk about eye strain. Gadget is built on a fully worldwide and dynamic server system that allows our global community to have the best 3D printing monitoring in the industry. In only our beta group, Gadget identifies print failures of all kinds about 200 times a week, with a ~95% success rate thus far.
We are blown away by the progress on Gadget and are so excited to share him with our entire community. But it’s not quite time yet. We are still polishing off the final UI issues and training the ML models to get even better.
For now, if you haven’t signed up for the beta, head over to Gadget’s homepage to do so now! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more updates. When Gadget is available for everyone – you’ll know it. 😉
