Printer livestream from anywhere, and print troubleshooting

New features

  • Printer livestream from anywhere: Watch your printer when you are not at home, with a new picture as often as once a second depending on your plan.
  • 3D print troubleshooting: A troubleshooting guide with 18 articles on solving common print problems.
  • Mark prints as failed, and rate the good ones: When a print finishes, say whether it came out well or failed, and rate a good one 1 to 4. When you stop a print, say whether it failed or you changed your mind. Print jobs and Statistics show the difference.
  • Printer error detection: SimplyPrint notices when a print stopped because of a printer error, tells you, and suggests what the cause could be.

Improvements

  • Slicer: A round of slicer improvements. Smart rotate places models the right way up, so there is no more rotating by hand.
