About this app

AstroPrint® Mobile is a simple way to manage and monitor your Desktop 3D Printer from your smartphone.

First, you'll need to connect your 3D Printer to the AstroPrint Cloud for FREE.

After you connect your 3D Printer to the AstroPrint Cloud, you can use AstroPrint® Mobile to manage, monitor, and print directly to your Desktop 3D Printer from anywhere around the world.

With AstroPrint® Mobile, you can:

• Visually inspect your print bed.
• Get notifications about print status.
• Start and stop prints.
• Print from repositories like Thingiverse .
• Use the AstroPrint Cloud Slicer (which uses CURA Engine) to slice and print.
• ..and more!

AstroPrint is compatible with standard Marlin & Sailfish firmware based printers (like Prusa i3, FlashForge Creator Pro, Lulzbot, Ultimaker, Robo3D, and Makerbot 2X and below etc.).

If you are not sure about your printer's compatibility, please check the compatibility section on astroprint.com/compatibility.

Ratings and reviews

Here's the thing. There seems to be some general bugginess when trying to connect to a Thingiverse account, in that the app just infinitely loops out of the authorization. That, coupled with an inability to connect to my particular outside 3D printer has left me disappointed and underwhelmed. In theory this could be a great app, but since my FlashForge Finder isn't compatible, I'm left app-less, unauthorized, and bummed.

This app worked great for a while, but has sucked for the past month or so. It still give me notifications when a print is finished, but whenever i try to check on a print it just says "no printers found". Obviously they're connected since i'm getting notified. I'll be looking for a better alternative to this app.

Love the overall experience.., but there are a few things that need to be fixed. The first being no control or access through the app for setting/slicing profiles and even printer profiles. It's a head ache to lean and find everything, but once you figure the web ui and how to get to all of the settings you'll love astroprint. The app should allow billing through the google play store it would be less of a headache also.
