Remote Controlled Printer

 One of our main goals is to be able to controlled Sasha remotely. After many researches on this topic and trying to know if such an idea is even possible or not, we found our answer. There is a very neat feature that allows 3D printer users to remotely control their printers. This feature is called “OctoPrint”.

 OctoPrint uses host software to control 3D printers; it also uses web interface enabling users to control their printers from anywhere in the world. OctoPrint needs a camera and a RaspberryPi to work. If this cannot be implemented this semester, we hope in the future somebody will get OctoPrint to work on Sasha.
