I would suggest if you kill the print via a dumb power shut down, power your printer back on immediately to allow the hot end fan to run and cool hot end off to ensure you don't get heat creep and subsequent filament melting in the heat break and potential clog.

@@UncleJessy I know the entire point of this video is to make due without Octoprint, but this is one of the many benefits of Octoprint. Smart plug plugins like the one for TP-Link have configurable thresholds for the hot end temp that Octoprint won't auto shut down the printer until the hot end is below that temp, which is nice, but that's the reason why.

@@br0k3nilluzion I disagree there isn't a reason to go with a pi. Not that I would suggest spending scalper pricing for a pi, but Octoprint's most commonly developed hardware platform is a pi. Most people run Octoprint on Pi's, it's well documented how to set it up on a Pi, Pi provides a near uniform hardware platform that you can trust is most likely to work with future versions of Octoprint and with updates to the underlying OS with great documentation for keeping that OS patched and secure and working reliably.

If you hard kill the power to the printer then the cooling fans turn off and can allow residual heat from the hotend to spread up into the heatsink area without being cooled and cause damage to the plastic parts around it (or PTFE inside the hotend).

I've been doing the same thing for a few years now and have Wyze v3 and Wyze v2's on all my printers along with Smart plugs to control them all too. I'd recommend mounting the cameras to be at nozzle height to be able to monitor the first few layers as those are the most important and also modding the lenses on the cameras to have a closer focal length to see the nozzle easier.

I actually have this setup on my 3d printers already. It's been a lifesaver. As for your "blooper" portion. It sounds to me like you are not breathing from your diaphragm. Try this out: Take in as much air as you possibly can (to the point you can't even sip air in). Then suck in your belly button (imagine trying to get your belly button to touch your spine). Then while holding your belly button in place, try breathing again. I would assume you would have some trouble with it. Many people breath with their abdomen muscles, effectively squishing their guts into their diaphragm to breath. This exercise Isolates the core muscles to force the diaphragm to breathe for you, which is often atrophied a bit from the belly breathing. Start with a couple of minutes per day doing this exercise and increase it gradually as the days go on. You'll fin that you can breathe better during your runs since your core muscles just have to focus on stabilizing you and your diaphragm takes care of just your breathing and talking. Best of luck to you and thank you for all your 3D Printing advice and information.

Hey! Great video and it's an idea I've used for years. I highly recommend the KASA brand smart plugs and cameras. I have several printers running while I'm not home and they sell a 6 plug surge protector with individually controllable plugs. So I use their camera to check in on my prints and if printer #4 has an issue, I can kill JUST that printer until I get home while all the others keep going. They sell smart plugs for just one printer or device as well though. Plus the app let's you monitor electricity usage, duration, etc for each plug.

When you're sleeping I'm sure you're not waking up every hour to check your phone (I hope!) 2) probably not a good idea to leave a printer running while no one is at home or you are all sleeping. Unless you have some fire suppression system in place that will activate automatically, like the Wham Bam Cloud.

I have cameras and smart plugs going now, but the cameras are really tempermental, and it's hard to get fullscreen in the app they use. It's annoying enough I spent time this afternoon looking at octo4a. With the right cheap phone it looks like a really nice setup for not a whole lot more than these, and definitely less than a pi + camera right now, but the most recent version can have issues requiring sshing into the phone to get the app working. Spaghetti detective being a weird method of paid add on now is a little discouraging, and it sounds like the other failure detection plugins may have iffy functionality as well. It sounds like these cameras are functional and reliable enough that they might be a good option until I'm feeling a little more ambitious.

You don't have to run Octoprint on a Pi. It's just ARM software for Linux, any other Pi-like board with a sufficient CPU can support it.

I use a lot of Meross smart stuff. Works great.

2:50 I had that camera on top like that and then one day it fell onto the heat bed for a few hours!

Caveat to the smart plug, you MUST turn it back on within 30 seconds to allow the hotend heat sink fan to cool the heat sink or you WILL get a clogged cool end throat!

I just wish I could keep my machine from shaking like it's in an earthquake

Ya the problem is they're not focused for close up. I can't stand the blurry video but it's better than nothing and when I'm not home the wyze plug has saved me more than once when a print fails.

Because you can't change the aperture of the Wyse camera Make sure you have good lighting and lower the interval to 2,3 seconds for better time lapse videos Also I'm thinking about buying the Bambu X1 Carbon and AMS I have zero 3D print knowledge How hard is it to learn the slicer program to get up and running ?? Love your videos and knowledge Thanks
