OctoEverywhere’s primary focus is security. Once the plugin is linked to an OctoEverywhere account, it can’t be unlinked and re-linked to a different account. This helps keep your 3D printer as secure as possible. If you need to move your plugin to a new account, you first need to unbind the plugin, which requires local access to the plugin to keep things secure. Pick your plugin type below to see how to unbind the plugin.
