View individual devices, check live device status, control supported FlashForge printer chamber lights, and save snapshots from single stream views. The main purpose of this app is to allow users of FlashForge Printers (Creator 5, AD5M, AD5M Pro and AD5X models to monitor and control their printers without modding their printers. This app gives users a way to view all printer webcams in a centralized location using the printer list and multiviews. Users can view individual printers to monitor their status, control the chamber light as well as pause, continue and cancel printing. Additionally, on supported models like the Creator 5 and AD5X, users can view filament slot info. Additionally, you can add RTSP camera streams and basic MJPEG streams to the device list as an added benefit of the app. This helps those users that choose to use their own cameras for monitoring printers instead of using the built in FlashForge web cams.
