Octopi is a 3D print management tool that runs on a Raspberry Pi. The Pi communicates with the printer via serial over USB to coordinate print jobs and report on their progress.

Octopi is a basic Raspbian instance running Octoprint, a printer management service and web interface.

I have my Octopi connected to my Home automation setup, making it easier to monitor and respond to print progress remotely.
