How to rebind your OctoEverywhere plugin to attach to a different account.

Updated over 4 months ago

OctoEverywhere's primary focus is security. To keep your 3D printer as secure as possible, once the plugin is linked to an OctoEverywehere account, it can't be unlinked and re-linked to a different account.

If you need to move your plugin to a new account, you first need to unbind the plugin, which requires local access to the plugin to keep things secure.

Pick your plugin type below to see how to unbind the plugin.
