OctoEverywhere Gadget is an AI Print Failure Detection Assistant designed to monitor 3D printing processes. By using fancy machine learning algorithms, it continuously observes 3D printing operations through webcam feeds — aiming to identify and take action upon the detection of common printing failures.

OctoEverywhere Gadget’s can recognize issues related to adhesion, layer malformation, and shell problems, among others. It does its magic by leveraging computer vision neural networks that have been trained on the appearances of various 3D printing failures.

The tool is free to all users, although additional perks are available for supporters who help fund the project. These perks include faster failure detections, access to advanced AI detection models, automatic pausing on failures, and the ability to receive unlimited notifications — SMS alerts included.

With over 3 million images processed daily, OctoEverywhere Gadget represents a significant advancement in applying AI to improve the reliability and success rate of 3D printing projects.
