Description

The 3D printers are somewhat complex, but Photon Controller wants to make it easy for you. With Photon Controller, control, send files and check the status of your printer with CBD (Tested with an Anycubic Photon). Download Photon Controller, type the IP address of your 3D printer and easily control what you print without a computer, just your phone or tablet.

Among the functions of Photon Controller are:
Select the 3D file you want to print on your printer.
Start, pause or stop a printing process.
View the printing status in real time.
Move the axes of your 3D printer.

Check that your printer has an available ethernet or wifi port. Some printers such as the Anycubic Photon need some extra steps to connect to a network. You can find the necessary steps at this link https://github.com/Photonsters/photon-ui-mods

Recent changes:
Added a function to home the axis from the custom movement option.

Comments on Photon Controller for Android

★★★★★ Josh Watt · May 31, 2020

Will be happy to see additional features, but as far as I can tell it's the only Android app that can talk to the photon, and being able to check % complete remotely is really handy. Simple to use, just enter the IP of your printer and go.

★★★★☆ John Palmer · Mar 12, 2020

This tool allows me to access and control my Photon remotely. This is a huge thing for me as I don't always have time to go down to my print lab and start a print manually.

★☆☆☆☆ Dirk Van Essendelft · Nov 29, 2020

This is not the officially supported app from any cubic. They have an apk download from their website. This did not connect to my mono x. I do not believe this works with the new generation of any cubic printers.

★☆☆☆☆ Justin Thomas · Jan 24, 2021

Doesn't work with the Any cubic Photon Mono SE. Put in IP address reported by the printer and just fails to connect.

★☆☆☆☆ Laurent Chervet · Dec 25, 2020

Connection failed, nothing else... Local network, Wi-Fi, printing is connected on the network. So, it does not work, end of the story
