Great tools for your 3D printer
12 ESSENTIAL Octoprint Plugins for More Joyful 3D Printing
In 2012, German software developer, creator, and excellent guide Gina Häußge got her first 3D printer. She then wrote and released a free, open source 3D printer host controller application called OctoPrint, which allows users to remotely control and monitor prints via a web browser.
“That's nice,” you might say, “but what makes OctoPrint different from all the other 3D printer host apps out there?” What sets OctoPrint apart is its extremely versatile, plug-in framework.
The framework that Häußge designed has attracted a community of developers who in turn are continuously expanding the features and functionality of OctoPrint via plugins. There are currently 277 plugins in the OctoPrint repository. Häußge says: "A total of 194 plugin authors have invested time and effort in providing these plugins."
