  • There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.

    My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…

    I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.

    I think the other user pretty much nailed it about the enclosure. Unless you are printing materials that require high heat it is not necessary.

    Now if you are in a very dusty environment you might consider one just to avoid the hassle.

    However you also may want to look online, there are some simple and fairly inexpensive pop up enclosures that work very well. I have been using one for a while now with mine and I print ABS pretty regularly. I just tore all the electronics out of my printer and printed a control box for it (external) to the outside of the enclosure.
