I’m new to UltiMaker, but have been using FDM printers for years. I loved the idea of having a camera mounted in the printer for monitoring my builds and to be able to abort if necessary. I was annoyed to discover after buying it last week that it is only when on the network.
I didn’t want to mess with routers, IP addresses and firewalls. So I looked at another option to remotely access my home printer when off-site.
I’m using TeamViewer (but I’m sure any remote access tool would work). I’ve paired my workstation to my laptop with the programme and use the smartphone app too.
Now I can access my home PC and monitor the build from within Cura’s interface. The video quality is great and I love the idea that I can abort directly from Cura.
I’d imagine that this only works when printing across the network and not off the USB key.
Hopefully others will find this quick-cheat useful.
