Installing other OctoPrint plugins on a CloudDock - BuildBee Support

Installing other OctoPrint plugins on a CloudDock


If you have decided to disable the BuildBee UI, you will be able to use OctoPrint features that haven't made it to BuildBee yet, including the ability to install third party plugins.
Installing third party plugins may affect the performance of BuildBee. We recommend installing one at a time and testing each plugin before installing more plugins.

Step 1 - Disable the BuildBee UI

For full instructions, head over to the How to disable the BuildBee user interface article.

- Access the maintenance console for the CloudDock you want to change.
- Select 'SYSTEM INFO'.
- Select the 'DISABLE' button.
