Welcome to OctoPuppet’s documentation!¶
Introduction to OctoPuppet¶
OctoPuppet is an OctoPrint-based web interface for controlling 3D printers. OctoPuppet relies heavily on the original OctoPrint, incorporating changes and features to better meet the institutional needs of libraries, makerspaces, and FabLabs with large user bases, multiple printers, and where prints need to be tracked on per-user basis. OctoPuppet uses FabApp (a separate project developed in the UTA FabLab; the source will be released publicly soon) as the backend to track users’ prints while keeping the many cool features of OctoPrint intact.
OctoPrint provides a snappy web interface for controlling consumer 3D printers. It is Free Software and released under the GNU Affero General Public License V3 .
