A NEW VERSION IS HERE!!! One of the really nice features of OctoPrint is the ability to easily get time-lapse videos of the print. Duet makes an awesome product but by moving away from OctoPrint you lose the built-in ability to create a time-lapse video - this is how I overcame that!

You already have a printer and the first things everyone prints, after the calibration cube and tugboat of course, are printer upgrades; what are you waiting for?
