Hey SimplyPrint'ers! We're thrilled to announce our latest beta feature for SimplyPrint: AI Failure Detection (beta)! It's like having someone watch your prints around the clock - no more surprise spaghetti disasters or wasted filament.
Now, we know we're not the first ones to offer this feature - and definitely not the last! But we set out to create an AI for SimplyPrint that was more than just simple spaghetti detection. That’s why we're launching with 3 detection types: warping, blobbing, and spaghetti.
As an integrated part of the SimplyPrint platform, it's more than just failure detection like you've seen before - so we're super excited to dive deeper into this feature with you!
What Does AI Failure Detection Do?
Simply put, our system monitors your 3D prints in real-time using your camera and smart AI algorithms, automatically spotting common issues like spaghetti messes, warping and blobs. In the future, we'll be adding more detection types, such as; stringing, layer shifts & more!
Here’s How it Works:
- 📸 Works with any camera, on any printer: Whether your printer has a built-in camera, you use a USB webcam, or even your phone as a webcam, our AI can analyze the footage.
- 🚨 Real-time notifications: Receive instant alerts through your SimplyPrint dashboard, mobile app, SMS, or email if something goes wrong.
- 🔒 Privacy-friendly: AI Failure Detection sends footage securely to our servers for processing. But don't worry; data sharing to improve the AI is completely optional and always opt-in. We value your privacy. Learn more about data sharing and privacy here.
- 🧠 Trained on over 5 million hours of printing: Our AI has seen millions of print hours, learning precisely how prints can fail - so you don't have to.
Free for Everyone (Yes, Really!)
During this beta period, AI Failure Detection is free and unlimited for all users - regardless of your subscription plan!
After the beta period, every user will still get around 12 hours of free AI monitoring per month. You'll also have the option to upgrade to unlimited AI monitoring at a competitive price - available as an add-on for all plans (including the Free plan!). More on this later!
Automatic actions, however, such as pausing or cancelling prints based on AI certainty, require at least our "Basic" plan (our most affordable plan). But worry not; even on the Free plan, you can still use the AI to get notified instantly via app notifications, SMS, or email, along with a picture of the issue, enabling you to quickly handle any problems!
