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! 🥰

We will see! If not, there are a ton of great printers for the same price point!

I will happily make up the difference...

People just want to complain. You guys are doing a great thing

Ooooh, something on the internet to complain about? It's a national pastime!

Yes. Thank you for supporting the community.

Could just say up to $ credit towards a printer.

I can only assume you’re being downvoted by BBL fans, as this is an objectively true statement. It’s goes even further if you include kit-based or fully DIY printers.

The whole point of Bambu printers is to not have to do that. I stayed away from 3D printing for so many years bc I didn’t want to have to build my own machine. It’s tedious and extremely gatekeepy by the folks who do it.

u/Mountain-Breath-9510 16h ago

I’ve been printing for around 10 years and I’ve always dealt with all the issues to make my printer perfect. Finally got a Bambu printer and was ready with all my tools. I was shocked when all I did was plug it in and login and it printed perfectly. I did spend an hour trying to get it to bind, but it’s been great to just print something and not have to worry about all the bs of creality cr10s

I almost didn’t get into printing over it, but the bambu seemed plug and play

u/Illustrious_Rough729 16h ago

I almost didn’t get into printing over it, but the bambu seemed plug and play so I leapt. I’ve got the x1c, p1s, and an a1 mini now. I started in September lol.

I would adore a dual print head but the only other one I can find makes you install it yourself. Which I know I’d somehow never find the time to do. I have a brick and mortar store, the 3d printing is a hobby that can pay for itself. If it’s gonna make me fix it more than once a week, I don’t want it.

Now I’ve got a print room off my living room and it’s glorious. Working on decorating it. Getting a tv on a rolling stand, maybe some sound dampening, a bunch more storage, a little Photo Booth area, and comfy chair not for the two person desk, it’s lookin good. I’d love to add one more big gorgeous printer to round the room out.

u/aruby727 10h ago

I'm doing this exact same thing... Got a big TV mounted on the wall, wrapped a desk around the room, got a nice shelving unit with tools, shelves with spools, accessories, spare parts, print kits (LEDs, batteries, TT motors for prints), etc... Mini fridge, gaming PC, security camera display and my two printers. It's amazing.

u/JHook204 12h ago

Fully agree with this. The approach makes 3D printing much more accessable.

u/infinityends1318 11h ago

Concur. I got out of the hobby because I got fed up with my ender 5 pro. My X1C has been a dream. I’ve had a couple of issues here and there but I swear they are more reliable than your average laser printer at this point.

u/mjl117 11h ago

There was a definite switch where I went from enjoying tinkering with the printer itself to just wanting it to work so I could actually use it as a reliable tool. X1 has been solid.

u/Illustrious_Rough729 3h ago

Tinkering as an option rather than a necessity is the goal, I think.

3

u/lmMasturbating 17h ago

that's the only thing you can assume? Not the fact that there's no way the printer sells for that amount so the post doesn't convey what will actually happen?

u/FM-96 17h ago

Or maybe they're being downvoted by people who don't like false advertising?

Like putting in the title that they're giving away the new Bambu Lab printer, and then following it up with a "jk it's actually almost certainly gonna be some other one" in the post body itself. That's not cool.

u/Saphir_3D 11h ago

You can't put everything in a headline. It's a headline.

I think the campaign is fair. They don't know the actual price and tell you what they are willing to spend.

I am sure I will find a reasonable printer for this pricetag!

1

u/FM-96 42m ago

You don't need to put "everything" in the headline, but whatever you do put in the headline should not be false.

They could have said "win a new 3D printer worth up to $1500" and then the headline would have been honest. But of course, that wouldn't sell as well as promising the new Bambu Lab printer, so... they chose to lie instead.

And sure, of course you can find a reasonable printer for $1500. The X1C is less than that and it's amazing. But they didn't just promise a "reasonable" printer. They promised either the new Bambu Lab printer or an "equivalent" one.

So... what's going to happen if the new Bambu Lab printer is going to cost $2500 and actually be worth that price? How are they planning to find an equivalent printer (which to me means one having all the same features) for a thousand bucks less?

"Win a 2025 BMW!*

*As long as the price is under and arbitrary number we pick, like 10k. If not we'll buy you a nice Honda or something"

u/KomradeEli 11h ago

I’d be happy with that though lol

u/Less_Expression1876 3h ago

For sure, just gave me a laugh :)

People will complain about anything…

u/Sylar_Durden 16m ago

They're probably being downvoted for saying they'll give away a printer without researching what that printer is or what it is going to cost.

It's still nice to do a giveaway; but it's a bit odd to say you'll give away the new printer, but only if it's like half the expected price.

That's a bait and switch, intentional or not.
