Mine is now offline.

But when it was online, I never checked the app for failed prints. If the print has failed, I'll find out when I'm near enough to it to do something about it.

When offline, it amused me when there was a "hairball" and the printer detected it advising "AI Detecting Print Error".

At what level does an image analysis algorithm become "AI"?

I'm curious what concise phrase you'd display to convey the same information to that audience.

"Computer Vision Model and Nozzle Telemetry Analysis Detect Print Error"?

"Print Error Detected"?

I laughed pretty hard at this, and you're right. Problem solved.

“Print Error Detected (Maybe?)”

This isn’t a PC Load Letter we can trust!

If the print has failed you can stop it from the app to prevent it becoming a huge mess and possibly causing damage to the printer.

For previous printers, absolutely yes.

But my current Bambu? The printer has caught this every time.

afaik, these kind of image analysis/computer vision algorithms are called AI by definition. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence]
