Checking the progress of your prints remotely and stopping them if something has gone wrong. There's options for spaghetti detection and so on, but those aren't perfect, and other kinds of failures can happen.
- jrockway 3y agoI don't leave the house when I have something printing. You can't extinguish a fire with a remote power switch.
- sudosysgen 3y agoThe point of these printers is to be reliable and accessible enough that you don't have to worry about that, just like you don't worry about supervising your drier. Just like most appliances, a 3D printer will only catch fire in the case of a serious hardware malfunction or egregious user error. The point is for this to be rare enough that the risk is negligible, so all you'd worry about is your print failing.
- nomel 3y agoConsidering many of my prints are multi day, this is just silly. I can’t stay home for days. I put my printer in a place where it’s free to burn completely. Any other way is not safe. Safety is about prevention, not attention.
