open to change my mind on this

Octoprint. It’s web page front end for 3d printers. Instead of copying to an SD card, walking to the printer, loading the file and printing, I can just upload and print. It also has camera support for timelapses and a very healthy addon ecosystem. I use it on both of my printers.
