OP after I got my printer and got it printing (using a thumb drive for files for a bit) I setup a Raspberry PI running Octoprint on my network. Basically the printer hooks to the Pi and it serves as a print server of sorts. You can then send files to the Pi, configure it to watch your prints remotely (with a camera) and do some pretty cool things with it.
There are tons of videos on YouTube of course. Just something to think about.
Interesting. So does it slow down your speeds any that you can tell?
I keep seeing this posted here and elsewhere. Is there a simple, easy step-by-step explanation for how to build one of these and how to deploy it on your home network?
I’ve got very limited experience with working with Raspberry Pi.
I think the other user pretty much nailed it about the enclosure. Unless you are printing materials that require high heat it is not necessary.
Now if you are in a very dusty environment you might consider one just to avoid the hassle.
However you also may want to look online, there are some simple and fairly inexpensive pop up enclosures that work very well. I have been using one for a while now with mine and I print ABS pretty regularly. I just tore all the electronics out of my printer and printed a control box for it (external) to the outside of the enclosure.
My daughter was watching - I guess it was the current Mickey Mouse (?) - cartoons on Disney+ a couple nights back. These include Mickey, Donald, Goofy, etc.
Only none of them look like the standard toons anymore but look like Disney had inbred sex with Ren and Stempy.
Even the humor and art is similar to that same style drawn by Kricfalusi where the characters all seem to be borderline psychotic and all the humor is based on shock value.
How many people have died because of organized religion vs. Panera charged lemonade.
Not really a fan, is that Gandalf and Mal in the picture?
Who plays Luke and Han??
Gozer about to be in some serious shit.
Whatcha talkin about? Our Lizard Overlords all have 6 fingers!
Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.
Furry posts
Furries everywhere man…
There is actually an app that will let you remotely view and start/stop the printer without the use of the VPN.
My wife often works from home and is tech savvy so I have no problems running prints and checking in remotely and I often hear of others doing the same; however…
I would not recommend doing it without someone handy. Just my two cents. It’s not that someone could hack in - it’s that you are dealing with temps in the hundreds of degrees Celsius. While I don’t recall of these things catching fire, the thought that it could burn my house down has more than once crossed my mind.
