A home assistant video would be great. Now that raspberry pi is more readily available a video on octoprint on a pi would be great. Not everyone had made the jump from e3v3+ printers yet. Maybe a cost to benefits analysis between maybe e3v3 to e3s1 to sovol to bambu would help many on an entry point this holiday season.

Glad you and your loved ones are safe, and I hope things get back to normal for you soon. Meantime as an elderly movement-limited geek, I'd very much appreciate any help getting my Creality printer set up so I can send it a new job remotely, and keep an eye on it during printing, so I can limit the number of times I need to put myself in the same room to mess with it. Moving hurts!

@glittalogik 8 ай бұрын

I reckon the easiest way to do this is just buying a Creality Sonic Pad - it's not quite as open or versatile as a DIY Klipper solution but it makes life infinitely easier than lugging SD cards around :) I went with the Pad during last year's Raspberry Pi shortage, but if you're comfortable with electronics and command lines then rolling your own Klipper controller on an RPi or equivalent is well worth the time investment!

glad you are safe. Hope it does not take long to return to "normal". Is there a way to load the X1C onto octoprint? I am wanting a way to que up prints. I have yet to use Octoprint. or is there other software that does that for an x1c? Even if it is just the que for loading the next print. Meaning it send the file to the printer. Not the spoon feeding that it looks like octoprint is optimized for.

Hi there! I studied CAD in midle school for 4year and i guse i find a good cad sofware, sure it is student version witch is free but evrything what is needed for 3d printing and some more advanced stufes in the software. And it is user friendly just press F1 to see a full guide how to use a option in the program. The program name is "Solid Edge" by siemens and have also 3d printing option in it. Also very specific by gears, holes for screws, also can make assemby by all the modells you made, also can simulate phisics to see if some mechanics is wrong with your modell, and so on, now i guess this program up to 16y and evry one year there is update for it with new options

On the 3d software, I might just hate myself :D but I think OpenScad needs to be added. That's my trifecta for designing my own parts. Openscad, Onshape, Blender. Can't go wrong learning all 3. If you know what you need and it's pretty straight forward, the exact nature of scad is hard to beat. If you're not entirely sure what you need, the other two are much better.

@@SUNLU No problem. While I have your attention - a small request. Could you print the empty pool weight on the product sticker you stick on the side? This helps determine how much filament is left on the spool by just weighing it and subtracting the weight of the spool. I have noted that the spools have changed over the years so even if I take note of an empty spool weight, it may be different in the future. Just stick it on the printed sticker with the colour and gross weight.
