I have not used Octoprint. I actually use a homemade printer with LinuxCNC and a HobbyCNC driver. It's a bit more fiddly than an off the shelf printer that's fully scriptable, but I really like looking at something I made drive around and make more things [0].
The way it sounds, at least from glancing at your website, is that the printer becomes web connected (your printtopeer.com link on the tablet and printer interface). I would never, ever pass control through a third party for something as expensive and dangerous as a printer. Can you manually override the endstops? Can you manually override the temperature controls? How about a hacker?
Just my thoughts. Your interface looks very nice, good luck with the project.
