Simple UI for controlling Octoprint & your 3D printer from your phone or tablet

About this app

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!
