Cool! I’m trying to resetup octiprint. Camera not working atm, weird. Just the raspberrypi cam!

What’s the close up cam you got mounted on the printhead?

@yith printed a plane I think… worked better than a dolphin!

They changed some thing in the new version, how many cams you got?

Its an endoscope :grinning:

Damn you… Purchased…

Only one webcam, it’s working now :wink:

You will need to print a mount and then set it up

I use this plugin to run 2 cams

I’ve got an almost identical watch charging stand, but mine wasn’t printed for free :man_facepalming:t2:

Great stands though :+1:t2:

And mate, we seriously need to talk about watch faces - especially as you’re running Home Assistant. I’m not seeing a single HA value being displayed on your watch…

#wtf #fail #disowned :grimacing:

Thats a winter rainy day project, but if you want to head over to the home assistant thread and let me know how you have set up yours :laughing:

@GunjaFPV you can see the mount on my live stream

your will have to be different

Yeah obviously a different printer. Will work it out haha

Thought I would have a go at the same pen holder, did it in white PLA, great design print time was 1h 38m on my Bambu Labs X1C

Er… it took off…

Show off :wink:

So want a bambu :wink:

I originally started with an Ender 3 S1 Pro but no matter what I did I could never get it to give a perfect first layer, I was about to throw in the towel when i happened across the Bambu Labs P1P, bought it and realised this was the future, sold that 2 weeks later and bought the X1C with AMS, whereas the Ender worked 50% of the time, the X1C works 98%, and the 2% is always user error.
Yes expensive but more fun to use than attempting bed levelling 3 to 4 times before each print, and not having to pray that it will work

Yeah I love the look of em, but no way can justify for the amount of printing I do.

I hear a lot of tinkering with printers, but I’ve just been really lucky with mine. In the 2 odd years I’d had my Artillery Genius, I’ve replaced a ribbon cable once, never changed the nozzle or hot end, and once got a level right it stays for quite a long time. Standard nozzle, bed, nearly default settings in cura, and it’s been totally solid. Was around £200 (maybe even cheap on a deal when I got it). Mainly print PETG, or TPU. rarely PLA bizarrely, though have this week for a friend and forgot how fast you can print PLA compared to TPU!

50% of the time? I’d have thrown in the towel too!

Pffft…

Will print one in the 3 days it’ll take, no worries :wink: PETG though, don’t want my tea spoiling it. Nasty colour plastic though! Waste it on these!
