The year is not QUITE over yet, and there's still a bit to print, however I wanted to showcase the excellent Wrapped plugin for @octoprint that got released yesterday!

I spent the day (and an hour or so yesterday) working on a little something for the season... soon available on the #OctoPrint plugin repo 😉

Example picture shared by a helping hand on Discord 🥰

I need to do small fun projects like this more often, that was a blast to implement!

*edit* Official hashtag for sharing yours is #OctoPrintWrapped (and please share!)

On the lighter side of my digital day, some credit where due: Even though it's been months since last time & even though both Octoprint & Simplyprint needed an update, I can still casually throw a model at my 3D printer from across the room & it just runs 🙌

Just noticed the perfect size of the sticker and now my laptop switched producers 🥸

Awesome job #octoprint community, updated my octoprint python version using the octoprint-venv-tool and everything Just Worked(tm). Fewer points to the Raspi/#debian bookworm upgrade for trying to swap out networking tools and failing on reboot #3dprinting

Well, my #octoprint just does not want to work anymore. After some time I found out that a loose power connection triggered disconnect of the camera which then flodded syslog and daemon.log. Thus, the whole drive was filled with log data and not a single byte was still free resulting in crashing of the octoprint service...#fml

Call me scale, baby! ⚖️ 🙃

Long overdue re-calibration of my #Ender5Pro with the bed leveling knobs. Used a piece of chocolate bar wrapper cardboard to get a consistent height at the four adjustment points.

Since I use #BLtouch for distance, the manual calibration is only used for a leveled surface and not for bed-to-nozzle distance.

The Bed Level Visualizer confirmed it: a variation of 0.102mm from lowest to highest point just after one cycle of calibration (maybe 10 minutes, including confirmation).

That’s better than my last time after 2 hours.

I absolutely love #opensource software.

I use #OctoPrint with the wonderful Octolapse plugin to create time-lapses of my 3D prints. However, sometimes I want to decide whether to print with or without a time-lapse right when I start printing a piece, as having time lapses enabled introduces additional movements that may not always be desired. Until now, this was only possible by turning the Octolapse plugin off. And I always forgot to turn it back on later.

So I modified the source code to add a button that allows me to start a print with Octolapse disabled just for that specific print. It's a small change, but it makes the plugin much more user-friendly for me.

I've also submitted a pull request, so hopefully, this feature will be included in the official release of the Octolapse plugin someday.

18h of uptime and the shop computer is still ticking along! No weird memory issues, no freezing, and Octoprint is still running happily with tons of overhead available. Have a hunch that disabling the Nvidia Quadro and forcing integrated graphics in the BIOS is the thing that did it. Hopefully it stays reliable as I start getting into some longer prints for Halloween projects! Thanks again to all who contributed ideas yesterday!

#linux #ubuntu #linuxhelp #3dprinting #octoprint

Linux folks, I could use some guidance! I have a beefy old ThinkPad running Ubuntu that I'm trying to use as a workshop computer, running my 3D printer. (I'd also love to use it as a Minecraft server, maybe Home Assistant, etc.) It is reliably locking up around the 8h mark, whether it's running a print job or not. Freezes, accepts no input, mouse & keyboard do nothing, needs to be restarted. No errors, no warnings, just frozen. How do I even start to diagnose? It's just sitting there not doing anything when it locks up.

Thanks in advance.

I didn't install #octoprint because i've got an highly specialized #cat checking the print. 😂

#3Dprinting #3Dprinter #caturday

I need to find the guy who wrote octoprint_deploy and all of the contributors and give them all a big ol' kiss. After boxing with Octoprint on Windows for years, it took like 20 minutes for me, a total Linux noob, to get a stable and properly-configured Octoprint instance up and running on Ubuntu. Had to redo the camera setup via terminal, but even that was super easy. Just delightful. What a powerful unlock for my printing. I missed this.

Now printing what I hope is the final prototype of the TRON identity disc's battery and control board interface. Debating the wisdom of swapping to a .2mm nozzle (instead of just a new .4mm one) to print the final version so that the quality straight off the printer is higher and I don't need to do quite as much finishing.

Delicious. The timing on this abrupt nag screen could not be better.

Ancient work ThinkPad that is about to become a shop computer running my 3D printer, your future awaits.

Discovered this morning that the source code, firmware and schematic for my 10 year old Cel-Robox printer are all available on github.

github.com/celsworthy/AutoMake

The company was liquidated sometime around 2020 so it means I should be able to keep it running for a bit longer.

Reading the firmware, I realised that I should be able to just send GCode over the USB which should just be a serial port. So that means using it with things like #Octoprint should work

After spending a large part of Monday and Tuesday fretting over broken packages from piwheels just around a bugfix release, I spent most of today writing a nightly canary test workflow that runs #OctoPrint in a faked RPi environment with its dependencies installed from piwheels and then throws the e2e tests against it:

github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPrint

I love it when a plan comes together! 😊

Had I had this earlier, the issues of the past days would have not been the problem they turned into. 😅

Dear #maker and #3Dprinting friends: assume I don't want to pay for a Raspberry Pi right now, but want to run #Octoprint. I have an old ThinkPad that can have a wired connection to the router and a webcam running to the printer. I'm going to put Ubuntu on. How easy is it to run Octoprint as a service on a Linux machine? Is it reliable? Or do I just need to suck it up and pay extortionate prices for a Pi?
