Best 3D Printer Host Software

Three separate layers that people confuse: firmware, host interface, and remote access.

1. 1

   OctoPrint

   The original browser host, and the plugin ecosystem is still the reason to choose it.

2. 2

   Mainsail

   The Klipper dashboard most people land on. Clean, fast, actively developed.

3. 3

   Fluidd

   The other Klipper dashboard. Functionally close to Mainsail; pick on taste.

4. 4

   Klipper

   Firmware rather than a host, and the reason the two dashboards above exist. Faster and more capable than Marlin.

5. 5

   OctoEverywhere

   Remote access with the more generous free tier: three printers and unlimited AI failure detection.

6. 6

   Obico

   Self-hostable remote access with AI failure detection, and the one that keeps the camera feed in your house.
