If you are deranged by 3D printing, you have probably once left your machines printing without any monitoring. This is a fairly common practice, although it is certainly not recommended, since many problems can arise during the printing of your pieces.<\/p>\n
However, applications like Octoprint help us with the monitoring of our printer in a spectacular way. Being able to remotely access your printer’s parameters and modify them in real time from your mobile phone is priceless.<\/p>\n
At 3DWork some time ago we dedicated a series of articles to Octoprint. So if you are not familiar with this app, I highly recommend you to read our article Octoprint: Manage your 3D printer remotely with Raspberry Pi and Octopi <\/strong> <\/a> to put you in the background.<\/p>\n In addition, once you know it you can enjoy the great infinity of plugins (or extensions) that it has. Among them you will find authentic pearls that will make your life a lot easier, as you can also check in this other article The 10 most interesting Octoprint plugins (and how to install them) <\/strong> <\/a>.<\/p>\n [toc]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spaghetti Detective<\/strong> is open source artificial intelligence software based on Deep learning<\/strong><\/a> which deals with “detecting” failed prints. Or as they indicate, spaghetti flooding our printing surface.<\/p>\n The process is relatively simple and through our webcam (USB or native Raspberry Pi) the software itself will take photographs that will later analyze and notify us if our printing is failing or not, with a relatively high success rate.<\/p>\n In the video below you can see how, after detecting a foreign object in motion, it “pigeonholes” it in a green square and assesses whether it may be a failure of our printer or not. If it considers a negative result, it will launch the notification or scheduled action.<\/p>\nWhat is The Spaghetti Detective?<\/h2>\n
