Beagleprint +4

When it works it’s really great but today the app just stopped working. It logged me out and when I try to log back in it says “the network is abnormal, please check whether the network can be accessed”. I’ve restarted my phone and my router and it still doesn’t work. I deleted the app then reinstalled and still nothing. It’s kinda frustrating. I hope you guys fix this soon

I’m not sure why the reviews for this have been so negative. I’ve had the beaglecam and Beagleprint app for a few weeks, and have overall been really impressed with it. I got it as a gift on Christmas and have really enjoyed it up until this point. Definitely recommend!!

It’s great for wirelessly uploading, printing, and monitoring your prints. I’ve paired this with a smart power strip and can virtually print anything from anywhere in the world!

A few suggestions to the developers to improve in the next update:
1. Change the location of the printer “Disconnect” button. I haven’t yet, but I can see someone accidentally clicking this button halfway through a print.
2. Update the temperature chart to show exact temps when you click on specific data points (similar to the stock app on iPhones).
3. Increase the accuracy of the layer height to 2 decimal places. Currently, it only shows 1 decimal place. Also, if the first layer height is different than the rest of the print, it doesn’t show correctly.
5. Add the option to edit the name of the Timelapse files. Currently, it’s very difficult to find the right Timelapse file.
4. Add a print resume after power outage function, filament runout detection (for printers that have a filament sensor), and thermal protection runaway.

Love the Beagle Cams, have one for each of my printers. Easy to setup and control a number of printers. The iOS Beagleprint app can occasionally glitch and require a restart, but that doesn’t affect anything during printing.

My wish list would be to have filament run-out control, speed control and most of all, iPad iOS version that takes advantage of landscape mode. There is a work around for landscape full screen using the iPhone version on the iPad, but it’s clunky. Just tap the full screen icon, which stretches the screen vertically, then slide the app up from the bottom of the screen like you were going to close it, but then slide back down and the video view will fill the screen correctly. Repeat after tapping the shrink screen icon to return to regular full control mode.
