SimplyPrint vs. OctoPrint

SimplyPrint uses OctoPrint; similarities

SimplyPrint and OctoPrint share many of the same features in terms of control, video surveillance, and start/stop of 3D prints. But SimplyPrint takes it a few steps further. Much of the inspiration for SimplyPrint actually comes from, and wouldn't be possible without, OctoPrint, and we use OctoPrint to communicate with your 3D printer.

OctoPrint and SimplyPrint are trying to accomplish two very different things; we make 3D printing an all-in-one solution, with a lot of features, user-friendly design and access to your printer wherever you are. OctoPrint's main focus is communication with your printer, and does not focus very much on design, availability or lots of features.

What we do differently; remote control (& much more)

SimplyPrint is in the cloud. One of the main differences is, that OctoPrint, by default, can only be accessed when you're home on the same network as your printer. SimplyPrint makes sure you can always access your printer, its camera (if it has one), start, stop and pause prints - no matter where you are.

SimplyPrint is available on your computer, tablet, Android and iOS phone.

SimplyPrint-specific features

In addition, SimplyPrint has some unique features like;

• SMS, email & app notifications about your print
• Print statistics
• Smart filament change assistant
• Bed Level assistant
• Print queue
• Cloud file system - access your files everywhere
• Built in slicer that can be used on any device with smart features, such as 'smart rotate'
• and much more ...

We keep it simple

We think a user friendly interface, but at no cost in functionality, is important. SimplyPrint makes sure you get more features that you can access from more places, simpler than ever before.
