Heaven help me - I've just bought a delta kit :-)

you have to remember I use printbite, so no stick or unstick issues - tend not to think about it these days.

so what does octoprint actually do ?

It allows remote control (network) of your printer. Alot like the S3D control panel while on USB; you can upload and print, store file on sd card or server, temperature graphs and setpoints, manual control like ponterface, terminal access ( i.e. send gcode commands to printer ), print status, webcam support to watch print.

It's pretty kool. If you like, I can provide screen shots while in action. Here is there site. Spend a few minutes http://octoprint.org/

Did I mention that the ABS prints are a #$@! to pull off the green tape. Hot bed, cold bed, does not matter. wind up cutting / ripping, unsticking , all of the above , the tape. Time to seriously consider printbite. About 45 usd delivered. Probably going to do that.
