With this latest update, users have more control over their printers, can enable and disable monitoring remotely, as well as find more information for preferences in cloud services and firmware.

I have never gotten Makerbot Mobile to connect to printer via celluar. (Makerbot MINI).

I have all the settings in Marketbot Desktop set properly, but it never finds the printer.

Does it require a specific port to be NATTED. I can see that the conveyor software uses port 9999 and natting that allows me to connect (almost) via external IP to 9999 directly, but I dont think this was the method Mobile was supposed to use?

would you really want something as unreliable as a 5th gen being run remotely with nobody to scream: 'Crap it's done it again !' while they leap across their office to shut it down :-)

Well, I have the makerbot plugged into a managed powerbar (AP7900) so I can remotely turn if off etc, but I understand the sentiment.
Its not really so much that its necessary, it just bothers me that I cant get it working! In a way, I just want to confirm that someone in the world has it working.
