Introduction
WARNING: SSH Remote Access is only meant for advanced users. MakerGear is not responsible for any problems or damage created by the use of SSH to modify your printer.
The MakerGear's onboard computer is a Linux-based Raspberry Pi. You can use SSH to log into the computer and make a variety of adjustments or make repairs to damaged installations.
By default all new MakerGear printers ship with SSH disabled. You will need to enable SSH through Octoprint.
