Interesting, thank you.
What advantages does it have over using TeamViewer and a webcam?

Mainly, simply that you don't have to use teamviewer. tongue

Basically it's just a tidy, reliable, integrated version of what you suggest - you access the printer via a pretty OK web interface (which replaces RH; it's also customisable to some extent). I'd recommend reading a bit more about octoprint on the web to see if it suits your purposes / tickles your fancy!

The raspberry pi is $40 or so worth of tiny computer, which uses a lot less power and space than a full desktop machine, and you can build this into the printer. Also worth googling to understand what it is and whether you'd be keen to play with it.

+1 for this, it has worked well and also allows control of the printer remotely (or at least, from somewhere warmer/less smelly than one's garage!)
