Bed Check AI uses Artificial Intelligence to detect your 3D printer's bed. The plugin takes the snapshot from any camera compatible with OctoPrint and runs it through a Machine Learning model that detects the entire print bed area. Based on the analysis, we can tell if:
- The print bed is clear or the previous print
- A foreign object is on the bed (clippers, tools, etc.)
- The location and sizes of any objects
