AstroPrint Mobile
Finally! With AstroPrint Mobile, you can now manage your 3D printers while you’re in the bathroom! Or anywhere else...
* Note: Most of the features below require an AstroBox connected to your 3D Printer.
Print from Your AstroPrint Cloud File Manager
AstroPrint Mobile’s File Manager will be always in sync with your AstroPrint Cloud’s File Manager.
Within the File Manager (on AstroPrint Mobile), you have the ability to:
- Print a design
- Change a design name
- Move the design to a project folder (for better organization)
- Delete a design
- Check out your 3D Printing analytics
- and more...
Remotely Monitor Your Printer
You can visually inspect your print bed anytime by taking a quick snapshot.
In addition to visual monitoring, you can also monitor key temperature readings (like print bed, extruder) as well.
Side note: Real time video streaming is NOT yet available on the mobile app. We are working on implementing live video streaming in a future version of AstroPrint Mobile. Meanwhile, enjoy live video streaming via a browser on the cloud!
Get Push Notifications About Printer Status
One of the most useful features is push notifications.
With AstroPrint Mobile, you’ll be able to receive push notifications when your print finishes.
As of today, that’s the only push notification that’s available on AstroPrint Mobile. Based on interest, we will certainly consider adding in push notifications for other printer events. Notify US if there are any new notifications you would like us to add! :-)
View Your Print History and Print Analytics
In the PRINT HISTORY section of the app, you can sort your designs by the most recent, oldest, finished prints, and canceled prints.
Most importantly, you can re-print designs directly from the Print History section with convenience.
The ACTIVITY section under PRINT HISTORY will show you interesting statistics about your print history.
Print from the Thingiverse App
You can you search thousands of 3D Printable designs and start printing immediately from the app.
Normally, one would have to navigate to Thingiverse on a web browser, search for a design, download a design, slice that design, then upload the GCODE to a 3D Printer to start the print.
With AstroPrint mobile, we have condensed that workflow down to just 2 steps.
All you need to do is search for a design, and start printing.
