One of the ways to connect your 3D printer(s) to SimplyPrint, is via our OctoPrint plugin.
This plugin allows you to connect your OctoPrint instance to SimplyPrint, and manage your printers from our 3D printer ecosystem - anywhere, no matter how many printers you have.
SimplyPrint - aside from being multi-printer friendly, allowing for multiple users to manage the same printers, and a built-in web-based slicer - also adds a bunch of cool features
for your 3D printer(s), such as remote camera monitoring, remote print pausing, and more.
How to get started? Simply install the plugin from the OctoPrint plugin repository, and follow the instructions.
Wonder how SimplyPrint is different from OctoPrint? Read our OctoPrint vs. SimplyPrint explainer here.
Install the SimplyPrint plugin
In OctoPrint, open the Plugin Manager and install SimplyPrint from the plugin repository. There are no firmware changes and it takes about two minutes.
Finish setup on SimplyPrint
After the plugin installs, follow the prompt to finish pairing on the SimplyPrint website. Your OctoPrint instance links to your account and a printer profile is created automatically.
Manage your printers from anywhere
Your OctoPrint-connected printer now shows up in SimplyPrint. Slice in the browser, queue prints, watch the camera and control your printers from the web panel or mobile app.
Install the free SimplyPrint plugin in OctoPrint and finish pairing on the SimplyPrint website. Your printer is then reachable from the cloud, so you can monitor and control it from the web panel or mobile app without exposing OctoPrint to the internet yourself.
Yes. The OctoPrint plugin is free and SimplyPrint's free plan lets you connect a printer, slice in the browser and print remotely. Paid plans add more printers and advanced features.
Yes. The plugin runs alongside OctoPrint, so you keep full access to your existing OctoPrint instance while SimplyPrint adds cloud access, a built-in slicer and multi-printer management on top.
Yes. Install the plugin on each OctoPrint instance and every printer appears together in SimplyPrint. You can manage them all from one account, with multiple users if needed - no matter how many printers you run.
Yes. OctoPrint is one of several ways to connect a printer to SimplyPrint. You can mix OctoPrint, Klipper via Moonraker and built-in integrations in the same account, across 130+ brands and 600+ models.
Integration for SimplyPrint allows for applications to interact with your 3D printers, and your 3D printers to interact with other applications. This allows for endless possibilities, and we strongly believe that your 3D printer should be able to function as an IOT device, working together with any and all applications you can imagine!
This is why the team behind SimplyPrint work to provide official integrations for the most popular platforms, slicer and applications, while also allowing our users to create custom integrations using our API, or for approved third party vendors to create integrations to be used by all SimplyPrint users, using a "Log in with SimplyPrint" method (using the "OAuth2" method).
If you're a developer interested in creating an integration for SimplyPrint, please read our documentation on the subject.
If you're not a developer yourself, but would like to see an integration for a specific application, go check if it's already on our roadmap or suggestion list, and if not, feel free to suggest it!
