Due to the physical nature of additive printing, 3D printers are prone to various failures during a 3D print. OctoEverywhere's AI print failure detection system uses a webcam attached to your print to take periodic screenshots. It analyzes them for 3D printing failures such as spaghetti, adhesion issues, layer shifts, etc.

Other OctoEverywhere features include printer notifications, live streaming, OctoPrint and Klipper app remote access{{Cite web |date=2022-12-15 |title=OctoApp for OctoPrint: All You Need to Know |url=https://all3dp.com/2/octoapp-octoprint-simply-explained/ |access-date=2025-04-12 |website=All3DP |language=en}}, and more.
