Post remote babysitting of 3d prints

A suggestion to make 3d printing a bit more convenient is to use a program called "octoprint"
Especially when you have a spare usb webcam then you can look how your print is going in on a web page away from your printer.
You can also upload prints remotely and change some settings like temperatures and print speed while printing.
And the dutch part of me enjoys that its free (donations are welcome but not required)

https://octoprint.org/
It can run on windows computers/ laptops and also on single board computers like the raspbery pi series.

And if you are even more lazy like me then when you use prusa slicer then you can print right from the slicer.
Cura might also be able to do this but have no used it for years now so no idea..
