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.

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.
