I thought this may be useful for friends who don't want to use qidilink but also want to have remote access to their printer.

As a longtime tailscale user this looks good to me.

Disclaimer: I haven't personally followed this procedure as I preferred in my case to use a tailscale subnet route on my router to expose the 3d printer onto my tailnet.

That being said, I think we should go ahead and merge this.

**Alternative Option - Subnet Router**

While out of scope for this specific documented procedure, it's worth calling out that one can configure a [subnet router](https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets) to avoid having to install the tailscale client on your printer. It allows for more flexibility but comes at the cost of complexity; ie dedicated device acting as the subnet router and configuring it as a gateway on devices that you want access to. This notice is to draw awareness to the end user that alernative installations exist.

Tailscale subnet router does not require configuration from the devices on that subnet at all. If you have a tailscale subnet router exposing 192.168.1.0/24 to tailscale, devices on the tailnet can access the subnet through tailscale, but devices on the subnet can't access the tailnet. It's essentially a split-vpn.
