Finally I print carbon fibre filament on my 3d printer with the Olsson Ruby nozzle and I rich to 280 degrees temperature . I think it’s not bad record 🙂  
I connect my raspberry pi 3 to the printer and now with the octoprint app (you can find it on the google store) I can control my 3d printer from outside of the home with the camera and when print it’s finished turn off the printer.  
Even you not need slicer because it has cura engine already.  
what else you want your printer do?  
So octopi and octoprint 100% recommended.

It is all very well documented here:

> **[Download & Setup OctoPrint](https://octoprint.org/download/)**
>
> Learn how to setup OctoPrint using the preinstalled OctoPi image for Raspberry Pi, or how to install from source on Windows, Linux and Mac.

All though somewhat technical.  
Read more in this forum here:

> Hi All - I’m fairly new to this forum. I received my Snapmaker about a month ago and so far have loved using it. I was looking into a way to monitor prints remotely and came across OctoPi. I love the fact that you can launch prints and with a web cam watch the progress and even stop the printer should something happen and the print isn’t going well. Has anyone been able to get OctoPi working with their Snapmaker? I set up OctoPi on a Raspberry Pi I had laying around and have launch some prints…
