00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
Welcome to the Deep Dive, where we dig into a whole stack of sources, pull them

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,160
apart,

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,800
and give you the concentrated knowledge you really need.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,370
Today, we're kinda cutting the cord, you could say, and diving deep into what's

5
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:11,680
essentially

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,720
the central nervous system for modern 3D printing. Octoprint. So if you're, you

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:16,720
know,

8
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,040
tired of shuffling SD cards back and forth, or if you've ever had one of those long

9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,600
prints fail

10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,960
halfway through while you were out, well then this Deep Dive is definitely for you.

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,120
We're

12
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,360
exploring a bunch of sources that really define Octoprint. It's the software that

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,680
turns,

14
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,200
well, what might be a hobby machine, into something more like a professionally

15
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:33,760
monitored

16
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:39,780
network device. Our mission today, to really demystify this tool, we want to make

17
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:40,160
sure that

18
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,590
even if you're a total beginner, you walk away knowing exactly what it is, how it

19
00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:44,000
works,

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,630
and honestly why it's probably the first upgrade you should think about. But hang

21
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:48,640
on, first up,

22
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,010
this Deep Dive is supported by Safe Server. They handle hosting for software just

23
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:53,280
like Octoprint,

24
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,520
and they support digital transformation, whether you're, say, scaling a startup or

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,640
just optimizing

26
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,960
your own setup at home. You can find out more about how they can help at www.safeserver.de.

27
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,480
Yeah, you know, when we talk about 3D printing, especially at the hobbyist level or

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,040
even small

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,520
scale stuff, the biggest challenge often isn't the printer itself, it's managing it.

30
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,560
You've got these

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,360
really long prints, sometimes hours and hours, and before tools like this, the only

32
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,080
way to be sure

33
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,020
everything was running okay was to physically be there watching it. Octoprint

34
00:01:24,020 --> 00:01:25,040
completely changes

35
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,120
that. It gives you this like central control tower, it turns a printer that was

36
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,720
basically offline

37
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,480
into a reliable system you can manage from anywhere, and that's a huge leap. I mean,

38
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,700
even if you're just managing it from across the house. Okay, let's unpack that

39
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:38,240
starting right at

40
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,480
the basics. The sources call Octoprint the snappy web interface. Yeah. So what is

41
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,280
it exactly? Is it

42
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,590
an app? Does it run like on the printer itself? Good question. It's actually

43
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:48,880
software. You install

44
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,900
it on a separate little computer, usually something small and inexpensive, which

45
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:52,720
then plugs into your

46
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,780
printer and takes control. And its core identity really is that it's 100% free and

47
00:01:57,780 --> 00:01:58,400
open source

48
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,660
software. It's released under the GNU Afro general public license, the AGPL 3.0.

49
00:02:04,660 --> 00:02:05,280
Okay. Whoa, that

50
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:11,660
sounds technical. AGPL 3.0 GitHub. Let's simplify that open source bit first. Why

51
00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:12,400
should a beginner

52
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,180
actually care about that stuff? Well, that open source status is actually really

53
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:17,120
important. It

54
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,510
basically guarantees trust and longevity. It means the code, the instructions that

55
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:24,720
make it work

56
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,800
are public. Anyone can look at them. So you're not locked into some company's

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,600
private system

58
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,780
that could just, you know, vanish tomorrow if they decide to stop supporting it. It

59
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:34,240
also means

60
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,030
security is often better because more eyes are looking for problems. And maybe most

61
00:02:38,030 --> 00:02:38,800
importantly,

62
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,930
it lets the community, the users themselves build on it and keep it going. That's

63
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:44,480
critical when you

64
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,560
have hardware, like a printer, that might last longer than the company's original

65
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,680
software support.

66
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,230
Right, right. So the software is kind of controlled by the people who actually use

67
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:53,280
it. That makes sense.

68
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Okay, now the physical setup. You mentioned a separate computer that might sound a

69
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,200
bit

70
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,280
daunting for a beginner. The sources talk about Octopi. Can you break that down?

71
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,000
What is Octopi?

72
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720
And what's this little computer, the Raspberry Pi, actually doing?

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,680
Yeah, that's a great point. And often where beginners kind of get hung up, think of

74
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:08,800
your

75
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:14,960
3D printer as this amazing worker, but it can't talk on the phone. The Raspberry Pi,

76
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,360
that's the

77
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,330
phone. It's a tiny, cheap, dedicated little computer like a mini server that you

78
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:20,640
plug into

79
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:25,250
your printer, usually with a USB cable, and then that Pi connects to your home Wi-Fi.

80
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:26,560
Now Octopi,

81
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,670
that's simply the easiest way to get it all running. It's an operating system

82
00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:30,000
package,

83
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,480
basically, designed specifically for that Raspberry Pi. And it comes with Octoprint,

84
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,060
already installed and pretty much configured. So instead of this complex process of

85
00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:39,760
installing

86
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,240
an OS, then libraries, then Octoprint, you just download the Octopi image, flash it

87
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:44,880
onto an SD

88
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,150
card, pop that card into the Pi, plug the Pi into the printer, and boom, your

89
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:48,880
printer is suddenly

90
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,860
online and you can access it from any web browser on your network. Okay, so that

91
00:03:52,860 --> 00:03:53,440
jumped from a

92
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,970
standalone machine to something on your network. That's the key shift. So once that

93
00:03:56,970 --> 00:03:57,520
little Pi

94
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520
server is up and running, this is where it gets really cool, right? What can you

95
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,120
actually do

96
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,140
remotely with Octoprint, just from your browser? Pretty much everything you could

97
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:05,600
do standing

98
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,110
right there, but honestly, with more intelligence baked in. Let's start with the

99
00:04:10,110 --> 00:04:11,040
most obvious one,

100
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,930
visual access. You can tap into an embedded webcam feed and watch your print

101
00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:17,040
happening live.

102
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,510
Okay, yeah, from the next room or... Or across the country, exactly. That alone

103
00:04:21,510 --> 00:04:22,560
solves that constant

104
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,950
need to go check on it. Huge. But just watching is only the start, you said. Right.

105
00:04:27,950 --> 00:04:28,320
Beyond just

106
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,870
watching, you get continuous, precise feedback. Like, the current progress of the

107
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:33,440
print job

108
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,600
percentage done, estimated time left. And if something looks a bit off, you don't

109
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:37,840
just have

110
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,120
to guess why. You can use the integrated G code visualizer. Okay, G code visualizer.

111
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:43,360
That sounds

112
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,690
a little intimidating again. For a beginner, what is that and why is it useful? So

113
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:48,560
G code is basically

114
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,080
the language your printer understands. It's the step-by-step instructions for

115
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,360
movement, temperature,

116
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,060
everything. The visualizer takes that code, that instruction list, and draws it

117
00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:59,200
graphically in your

118
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400
browser. You don't need to read the actual code lines. You watch a little

119
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,520
simulation of the tool

120
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,690
path line by line as it's supposed to be printed. And this is a massive diagnostic

121
00:05:08,690 --> 00:05:09,600
tool. Let's say

122
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,220
you sliced your 3D model, you upload it, and the visualizer shows the nozzle trying

123
00:05:14,220 --> 00:05:15,360
to print in mid

124
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,790
air for a whole section or maybe skipping a layer entirely. You know immediately

125
00:05:19,790 --> 00:05:20,800
you have a slicing

126
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,600
error before you waste hours in filament. It lets you debug the plan, not just the

127
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,240
result. Wow okay,

128
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,580
that turns potential hours of wasted plastic into like five minutes of checking the

129
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:31,600
preview. Brilliant.

130
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,520
What about fixing things mid-print? Say I notice the corners lifting that classic

131
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,400
warping sign.

132
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,270
That's where the real-time control is fantastic. You can monitor and adjust the

133
00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:42,160
temperatures,

134
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,350
both the nozzle, the hotend, and the print bed. You can do it on the fly. This is

135
00:05:47,350 --> 00:05:47,920
absolutely

136
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,500
critical for dealing with things like warping or maybe layers not sticking together

137
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:53,120
well if,

138
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,880
say, the room temperature changes. You see it happening, you can just bump the bed

139
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,360
temperature

140
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,070
up a couple of degrees right from your phone or computer. Okay, and if the absolute

141
00:06:01,070 --> 00:06:02,320
worst happens,

142
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,850
like a total spaghetti monster fail, or maybe I just realize I need to swap

143
00:06:06,850 --> 00:06:07,840
filament colors,

144
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:11,840
what physical control do I have then? You get full manual control over the printer's

145
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:12,720
mechanics.

146
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,020
You can move the print head along all axes X, Y, Z. You can tell it to extrude a

147
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:18,160
bit of filament or

148
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,390
retract it. You can even define your own custom control buttons in the interface.

149
00:06:22,390 --> 00:06:23,760
And crucially,

150
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,440
yes, you can start, stop, or pause the current print job whenever you need to. And

151
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,120
that ability,

152
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000
you know, to pause, maybe tweak the temperature, clear a small blob, and then

153
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,920
resume the print,

154
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,070
that's massive for cutting down on failed prints and wasted material. It really

155
00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:39,120
elevates the printer

156
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,510
from just a dumb appliance to a tool you can interact with intelligently wherever

157
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:44,160
you are.

158
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,480
Right. Okay. Let's shift gears slightly to compatibility and making it do more. Extendability.

159
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,000
For someone thinking about buying a pretty standard consumer 3D printer today,

160
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,160
is Octoprint likely to work with it? Yeah, the sources are pretty clear on this.

161
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,800
Out of the box,

162
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,900
Octoprint is compatible with most consumer 3D printers you can buy today. It's

163
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:03,760
pretty universal

164
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,470
because, well, most printers just talk over a standard USB serial connection. But

165
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:08,880
what really

166
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,170
ensures it stays compatible and keeps getting more powerful is its plugin system.

167
00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:14,400
Ah, plugins. Okay,

168
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,050
so that sounds like the secret sauce, maybe. How it grows beyond what it originally

169
00:07:19,050 --> 00:07:19,520
did.

170
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Totally. That open source aspect we talked about means the community can build new

171
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,000
features,

172
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,280
things the original developer maybe never even thought of. And what's great for

173
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:27,920
beginners is

174
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,570
that the official place to find these plugins, the repository, is built right into

175
00:07:32,570 --> 00:07:33,440
Octoprint.

176
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:39,120
Installing a plugin is literally, as the sources say, only a clip away. No messing

177
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,080
with code or

178
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,930
command lines usually. Okay, let's make that real. Can you give some examples from

179
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:44,880
the sources? What

180
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,200
are some of those must-have plugins that really change how you use it? Well, one

181
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,000
super common

182
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,920
headache, especially early on, is getting the bed perfectly level for that crucial

183
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:54,720
first layer.

184
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,030
There is a plugin called Bed Level Visualizer. It uses the measurements from your

185
00:07:59,030 --> 00:07:59,760
printer sensor,

186
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,450
if it has one, and it shows you this colorful heat map of your print bed right in

187
00:08:04,450 --> 00:08:05,040
the Octoprint

188
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,050
interface. It turns this kind of abstract problem into something you can actually

189
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:09,920
see. Oh, that

190
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,470
sounds incredibly useful. I've seen those amazing time lapses people share, where

191
00:08:14,470 --> 00:08:15,280
the object just

192
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,350
seems to magically grow out of the print bed. Right, that's almost certainly Octolapse.

193
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:19,520
It's

194
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,420
a plugin that cleverly moves the print head out of the way before taking each

195
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:24,240
snapshot for the

196
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,010
time lapse. That's how you get those stunning time lapses, as the source puts it.

197
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:29,440
Very cool.

198
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,780
What else? Well, for customizing the look and feel, there's Themify, which lets you

199
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,280
change all the

200
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,890
colors and styling of the OctoPrint interface itself. Maybe more practical, there's

201
00:08:39,890 --> 00:08:40,640
the Firmware

202
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Updater plugin. This lets you update your printer's own internal software, its

203
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,720
firmware, directly from

204
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,200
OctoPrint. That often saves you from a really complicated manual process using

205
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:51,840
specialized

206
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,880
tools from the manufacturer. And it's pretty amazing that plugins even add support

207
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,640
for older,

208
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,900
or maybe less common machines, right, like those older Flashforger Dremel models

209
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:01,680
mentioned.

210
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:06,240
It keeps the whole ecosystem inclusive. Exactly. It prevents printers from becoming

211
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:06,880
obsolete just

212
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,410
because the manufacturers stop updating their specific software. Now obviously, a

213
00:09:11,410 --> 00:09:12,000
project this

214
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,730
big takes a lot of work. Let's talk about the people. The source's name, the

215
00:09:16,730 --> 00:09:17,760
creator and main

216
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,480
person behind it, Gina Hoyska. And they mentioned she works on OctoPrint full-time,

217
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,200
basically funded

218
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,360
by the community. Yeah, and that reliance on community funding and contributions is

219
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,480
actually

220
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,150
really typical for major successful open source projects like this. It's a sign of

221
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:33,760
a healthy

222
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,800
project that the users value it enough to support it directly. And connecting that

223
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,360
to the bigger

224
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,050
picture, it shows that contributing doesn't just mean writing code. People help by

225
00:09:43,050 --> 00:09:43,440
writing

226
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,200
documentation, reporting bugs, even just helping other users out on the forums. It's

227
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:48,480
a whole

228
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,550
ecosystem. So if a new user runs into trouble, or maybe they get excited and want

229
00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:54,160
to contribute

230
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,770
somehow, where should they go? What are the main community hubs? The whole

231
00:09:57,770 --> 00:09:58,480
structure is really

232
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,040
well set up. The main place to start for help or discussion is the community forum.

233
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,280
That's at

234
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,090
community.octoprint.org. It's like the central library of knowledge. For quicker

235
00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:08,640
chats or more

236
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,460
real-time help, there's an official Discord server, discord.octoprint.org. All the

237
00:10:13,460 --> 00:10:13,840
official

238
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,020
guides and how-tos are in the documentation at docs.octoprint.org. And then for

239
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:19,840
finding all those

240
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,070
cool extra features we talked about, that's the official plugin repository at

241
00:10:24,070 --> 00:10:25,760
plugins.octoprint.org.

242
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,970
They've made it pretty easy to find what you need. Got it. Okay, before we wrap

243
00:10:29,970 --> 00:10:30,880
this up, there was

244
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,860
one more slightly advanced feature mentioned that sounds really powerful. Event

245
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:36,720
hooks. Can you explain

246
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,720
simply what an event hook is and why it matters? Sure. Think of an event hook like

247
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,640
setting up an

248
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:47,840
automatic reaction. Octoprint is always watching the printer. That's the event part.

249
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,720
An event could be

250
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,800
the print finished or maybe uh-oh the temperature suddenly dropped or hey the

251
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,000
filament sensor says

252
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,190
we're out of plastic. When one of those specific events happens it can trigger a

253
00:10:58,190 --> 00:10:59,040
hook. And that

254
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,410
hook basically tells Octoprint to run some external command or script. So for a

255
00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:04,480
beginner maybe the hook

256
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,090
just sends you an email saying print's done. But you can get much fancier. You

257
00:11:08,090 --> 00:11:08,960
could hook it up to

258
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,680
a smart plug for example and have the hook tell the printer to completely power

259
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,600
itself down after

260
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,990
a successful print. Saves energy, adds safety. Ah okay so it turns passive watching

261
00:11:18,990 --> 00:11:19,840
into active

262
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,160
automated responses. Exactly. It's where Octoprint goes from just being a remote

263
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,040
control to being an

264
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,360
automation hub. Perfect. Okay so to quickly summarize for you the listener Octoprint

265
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:30,480
takes

266
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:35,230
your standard 3D printer, pairs it with a small cheap computer like a Raspberry Pi

267
00:11:35,230 --> 00:11:36,240
running Octopi,

268
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,240
and transforms it. Suddenly it's on your network, you can manage it from anywhere,

269
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,800
you can watch it, control it, and extend its features endlessly with plugins. All

270
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:44,960
through

271
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,520
a web browser and all thanks to a really dedicated open source community. Which

272
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,560
really brings us to a

273
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,520
final thought for you to chew on. Given everything we've discussed, the remote

274
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,600
access, the webcam

275
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,620
monitoring, the access controls, and especially those powerful event hooks allowing

276
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:00,160
automated

277
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,410
actions, what's next? Could this whole framework built for 3D printers be adapted

278
00:12:05,410 --> 00:12:06,000
to control

279
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,400
other kinds of small automated machines? Could we see Octoprint or something like

280
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,280
it turning lots

281
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,390
of different workshop tools into smart self-monitoring devices on a network? Where

282
00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:16,240
does that lead?

283
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,240
Definitely something to think about. The future of distributed tech right there. A

284
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:20,880
huge thank

285
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,360
you again to our supporter for this deep dive, Safe Server. They enable this kind

286
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,160
of analysis

287
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:32,480
and support digital transformation. You can find out more about them at www.safeserver.de.

288
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,310
Yeah, check out the sources yourself. You might be surprised how easy it is to give

289
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:36,880
your printer

290
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,840
a major intelligence boost. We'll get you on the next deep dive.
