Great Software, But Still Room for Improvement

The software itself is probably one of the best and easiest out there for monitoring your prints. Has all the functionality I need to feel confident and monitor the safety of my prints. I also love that I don’t have to VPN to watch my prints off my home network.With that said, I’ve noticed one flaw in its detection for failed prints. It seems to be recognizing both my gyro is infill and small tree supports as print failures and automatically stops good prints when it sees these. I’m assuming because it sees the wavy lines and small loops and freaks out. Hope fully this get updated soon as it annoying to have it happen.Even with that aside, I’d still recommend it.

Good so far

I’ve been using this since the beta or testing through test flight app. Like it and works well. But think the GUI needs a change up. Looks outdated and kind of plain. Also the big “the detective is not watching” or if it is watching it’s a bit intrusive looking. Maybe a little smaller or just a line, not a big box and put the temp on the same “page” as the the progress. Cancel and pause buttons maybe half the size and next to each other instead of stacked. Great idea, more of looks I feel like being redone some. I don’t use this to detect, I just use it to monitor. The guy that gave it one star is ridiculous if he thinks a company will do everything for free.

Love this!

This has saved me so much peace of mind and also cost in filament waste! I pay the premium version of this and it’s amazing. Customer support is great although I have never had to use it because nothing has ever gone wrong in this system. As a highschool engineer, I can start and monitor print between class periods, and I even use the remote controlling to use the print head to knock the prints off the bed and print a new print. Set up is easy, and interface is simple and clean just the way I like it! I have been using this for years and the whole thing rocks! Totally recommend!!!

The best monitoring app

The app has some difficulty differentiating between spaghetti and necessary wires. Even sleeved, at some point your wires must be visible to connect, and the detective notices these wires (especially if your camera is in the front of the bed looking towards the back.)This is my only complaint and I imagine over time the app will be able to better distinguish between the two. Honestly this app works better and more consistently for monitoring prints than octopod anywhere, polymer, or kraken. Visuals are cleaner than those apps, plus you don’t need to pay anything. As long as you submit your videos that were being watched you continuously get more free hours. Now that my free trial month is over I am going to get the pro subscription because it is absolutely worth it.

Helps get the most out of your 3D printer

This program has really helped me get the most out of my printer, enabling me to keep an eye on it while I’m away. It’s ability to detect problems gives you real peace of mind and helps you avoid building a birds nest and wasting filament on a print that has already failed. Yes, you do have to pay, but giving feedback on each print earns you more print time, and odds are unless you’re constantly printing, even the lowest cost plan will give you more time than you need. For example, for $4/month you get 50 print hours, which comes out to a little over an hour a day. But you get 2 bonus hours for each print you give feedback on. So if you print every day, even on the lowest cost plan you still get 3 hours. Go away for a weekend, stop printing for a few days because you run out of filament? Your hours stockpile and don’t expire.For me, the cost is totally worth it for the additional productivity and peace of mind.

Great app!

I downloaded the app with the intention of monitoring my Ender-3’s printing progress while out of the house. Setup was quick and painless. The UI is very clear and easy to understand, making remote monitoring a breeze even for a noob like myself. Uploading and printing directly from the app works as expected and is a really cool feature. Thankfully I have not had to test TSD’s AI detection capabilities but I will provide an update as soon as one becomes available.

Great app. Does what I want!

With a raspberry pie and a mini camera you can view and control your a 3-D printer from anywhere in the world. It also has some features where it’ll watch while you’re not able to watch. Those are a work in progress. But they’re getting there.It’s kind of like speech to text and all types of AI. It’s not always right but it helps.

Best Octoprint client available.

The spaghetti device is very useful for remote Octoprint access, this app lets you do anything you would be able to do with the full interface on the go. It has a secure tunnel for full access, and a smaller interface for smaller things like temperature and time remaining. You also only need to pay for this app if you want the detective watching, which is a great choice. I personally don’t need the detective but I can see the person who would need it. Great addition to Octoprint.

TSD great and the App is icing on the cake

TSD works very well automatically identifying print issues and the app is a nice bonus. Recently TSD spotted a failure “smells fishy” of one component within a multi-component print. I was printing black PETG on a black bed and when I first looked in I didn’t see any issue. However while double checking I saw that one component had broken loose and spaghettie was forming. I got lucky and was able to stick that one component back in place so it didn’t trash all the others. Lost that one but TSD helped me save the others. App is a nice bonus to remotely visually monitor. I am a TSD Pro (paid subscription) user but 3D printing is just a hobby. My TSD client runs on a raspberry pi4 using the Pi-HD camera and 16mm lens.

Thermal runaway

I installed this plugin and tried using this monitor, I loved the idea and was definitely prepared to get behind them for the service they offer. First print and I got my first ever thermal run away failure. It’s possible I’ve done something wrong but my firmware has not changed my RPI4 has not changed and I have had no issues out of my printer until I installed this plugin. So just make sure you don’t walk away from your printer as this app makes you feel you can do. Wish I could have been a 5 star happy reviewer but I could never trust this company after something like that happens to my printer. No house fires for me.
