Kraken makes it easy to monitor, control and manage your 3D printers. Connect to any OctoPrint server on your local network or over the internet. Features: • Start, pause, resume or cancel your print • Monitor print progress • Stream camera video • View camera streams from all of your printers on one screen • Move, extrude, retract, set temperatures and control fans • View and search Gcode files on your OctoPrint server or its SD card • 3D Touch shortcuts • Add multiple printers
The camera function is broken after the most recent update. Otherwise absolutely five stars
This is a great app. Easy to use and perfect for remotely monitoring your 3D prints.
By far the best looking OctoPrint Client. I don’t use a camera yet but everything else seems to work great. The only thing holding me back from purchasing the pro version is it not having a gcode terminal. I’d also like to see the control buttons bigger.
Setup is easy and it works great
There is a pro membership but at least no adds in free version
I can’t fully say how much I love this app. It does everything I need it to AND it actually works. I have remote access to my printer 24/7 and it’s great for remote monitoring for failures and also trying to do filament changes. I dislike having to go back and forth from computer to printer just to heat/extrude/retract/extrude/cool down. Manual bed leveling is also greatly helped since I can just tap the interval I want to move the bed and go vs clicking through my printer’s menu, which isn’t all that user friendly to be quite honest. One of these days I’ll add an automatic leveler, but until then Kraken does the job better than I could have imagined. I paid for the full version of this app. Definitely worth every penny.
You have multiple printers but how about multiple cameras on the same printer?
Paid for the upgrade and now no camera view. Lost the stream. Octopod is a much better app and has been flawless.
This app worked better as the free version. Paid version I lost camera access and it won’t let you send bug reports through the app. You can type up a big report but the send button isn’t selectable.
For people that need to see printer outside home. A DynDNS is needed. API is good call, but if you have several printers is costs an upgrade. If you have octiprint running anyway, and a DNS entry, you can always see it from the web without this app. Value is good for quick looks. Control is better with other apps/sites. Needs to be able to do more.
