It’s usually an IoT (Internet of Things) term that signifies that something runs on the end device. These are hardware constrained devices that would otherwise just send their data somewhere else to be processed, but in this case they’re doing the processing. In this context: Print failure detection is usually done by streaming video from your camera (say a Raspberry Pi with a camera) to some companies’ server, but in this case it would be your Raspberry Pi that’s both a camera and the processor whose output is “print failed” or “print good”.

Article sounds AI written to me.

It's referring to edge computing, and can be thought of as essentially saying "self hosting".

I can tell you for sure they probably don't mean this, but it was still my first thought.

Devices like Intel MyriadX inside of a camera would be considered edge devices in this application.

I've got an original OakD camera but haven't tried to use it yet, was a gift at a convention a few years back. Pretty interesting device overall.

Yes. Kind of implying you'd be able to run it on a reverse proxy without undue security considerations.

Klipper actually has this built in now - you can setup telegram notifications with snapshots when prints fail or even just at certain layer heights, no need for octoprint or other complex setups if your alredy running Klipper.

@Imgonnatrythis @cm0002 octoprint has a useful Telegram plug in so i can see my print updates on my phone. I'd recommend

On the edge of edging.

My suspicion would be that belt printers were not in the scope when writing it. Probably a good idea to open an issue in GitHub so that they can fix it.
