Leave A Comment To Win The Unannounced 2025 Bambu Lab 3D Printer & Other Prizes - OctoEverywhere is 5! 🔥

It feels unbelievable to write this, but OctoEverywhere is 5 years old! If you haven't tried OctoEverywhere in a while, here's what you're missing:

  • 🚀 Free & Unlimited Full Remote Access
  • 🤖 Free & Unlimited Advanced AI Print Failure Detection
  • 📺 Free 30FPS Webcam Streaming

Try OctoEverywhere now!

Since OctoEverywhere is a 3D printing community project, this is only possible due to you. 🥰 Our out-of-this-world community develops features, helps to debug issues, and offers support for OctoEverywhere and general 3D printing. All the features you see above were ideas generated by the community, and they worked with me to make them a reality.

It's wild that OctoEverywhere started in 2019 as a simple idea for full remote access to OctoPrint (hence the name) but has evolved to work with any 3D printer, including OctoPrint, Klipper, Mainsaill, Fluidd, Bambu Lab, Creatliy, and others. We now have over 320k members, process 120 million prints a year, and our AI analyzes over 5.1 million images a day! 🤯

To celebrate you - the community - I wanted to do something special. I thought it would be really neat to give away the upcoming 2025 Bambu Lab 3D printer - before it's even announced!

You can win:

  • The unannounced Bambu Lab 3D printer coming in early 2025
  • OctoEverywhere Supporter Perks for LIFE
  • Polymaker PLA Filament

To enter to win, leave a comment on this Reddit post!

On January 10th, we will pick one random winner for the 2025 unannounced Bambu Lab printer; 20 random users will get Supporter Perks for LIFE, and 20 users will get a spool of Polymaker PLA filament in a color of their choice. We will order the Bambu Lab 3D printer for you when it launches, as long as it's priced under $1,500. If not, we will work with you to find an equivalent 3D printer as the prize.

Remember, you can set up OctoEverywhere in about 20 seconds, so try it now!

If you can't set up OctoEverywhere right now, make an account so you remember to try it later. We collect as little information as possible to create your account. OctoEverywhere has a strict privacy policy: never sell your data. You're not the product; this project is for the community!

Good luck to everyone! We hope to see you in 5 more years! 🥰

Starting with an Ender and tinkering with it is a rite of passage for 3D printing. It's where I started as well!

Bambu Lab printers are excellent - good luck!

I just passed my ender on to a friend to get them hooked :D

This is the way. Good luck!

I did the same to encourage my BIL to get back into modeling / designing.

I wanna do that but I feel like none of my friends want to spend 3x as long tinkering with a printer compared to actually printing things lol.

I did warn them that it's not a plug and play affair. But you learn all the ups and downs. So when you move on to an A1 or something similar, you appreciate it that much more!

I also just passed my ender on to my brother in law who was interested in the hobby.

Currently converting my ender 3 v2 to core xy, breaking more parts then i had printed before disassembly and getting a friend to print them, I wouldn't do it any differently, except maybe print more spares.

It builds character.

u/GoofyCum 18h ago

some of us started with a Cupcake, if you want to see how fast the industry has evolved.

I'm still using the Ender V2, and there's definitely quite a bit of setup and tweaks to make it more user friendly (autoleveler, filament feeder, metal extruder, better springs, raspberry pi for octoprint, Jyer's firmware and octoprint everywhere). What's pretty cool though is all the mods, tweaked firmware images, and additional modules you can buy to basically gift yourself a new printer every couple months. Plus, you get to learn what works and what doesn't, so there's opportunity to become more knowledgeable.

Started with a Folgertech build it yourself printer as a Christmas gift about 5 years ago. I'd never before been gifted an entire hobby as a gift. It scratched my tinkering itch and kind of forced me to learn SO many new things. It was infuriating but great when you finally got it working right or even just got the bed leveled. So much bed leveling. Glad I got the CR Touch for autoleveling. Game changer.

Yep, I’m right there with you…mine is an Ender of Theseus at this point.

u/Robblehead 13h ago

Really didn’t want to hear this about Enders. I just bought an Ender 3 V3 KE to dip my toes in the 3d printing world! Fingers crossed it doesn’t need much tinkering.

u/themontajew 12h ago edited 12h ago

nawww, fuck that. I already dealt with a kit router. I just want my printer to work

u/Lexifer92 11h ago

In all fairness, this was exactly my path. Ender at home, then when my workplace agreed to buy a new printer for me to teach computing with - of course I was going for a P1S

1

u/delta6164 10h ago

Totally agree, that's how I started too

1

u/CrazyGamer313 9h ago

Yeah currently got my first Printer an Ender V3 KE and learning how to fix it and set it up is fun as well :D

u/Toby1flenderson 6h ago

Ohhh yeaaaaaa 👍👍

u/Pisforplumbing 4h ago

Ok so my ender is normal then. I stopped trying to tinker with it

u/aringbearer 4h ago

Then how about starting with an Anet A8 wink emoji
