I go back and forth with it. I do use OctoPrint plugins for bed leveling and as a gcode terminal. But, I mostly print from the SD card because I have a Prusa MK3S and it has power panic support, so a print can be salvaged if power dies in the middle of a print. Additionally, I like having print stats and the printer only accumulates print time done over the SD card. Having OctoPrint work with the SD card is brutally slow. I also turn my printer off when I'm not using it and OctoPrint's auto-reconnect doesn't work most of the time. If someone isn't paying attention and tries to connect while a print is running, it causes the printer to reboot, which isn't fun. So I largely leave it disconnected. I don't have a camera though. If I were making videos of my prints I'm sure I'd rely on OctoPrint more. |

On the other hand, Octolapse is a lot of fun. But I went back to just using an SD card for important prints just because I value the recovery option.
