Damn does this mean I have to buy another raspberry pi or can the one running octoprint serve double duty?

I just picked up a pi4 b today and was tinkering with octoprint.

So far it looks great, i just haven't figured out how to get the pi camera module 3 working quite yet. The stream from octoprint just constantly tries to load.

I’m excited to try some prints with it soon!

No, that’s a new one.

Would greasing my gantry screw help?

If I’m missing steps due to heat is the only solution a new motherboard?

I thought so too! I cleaned it up a bit and glued the bottom back on. Its my pencil cup at work now

I have! This printer actually finished a 3ft sailboat rudder before this print. I popped some pictures of it in as well

Do you think that could be be solved by adjusting the z offset?

Thanks for the tip! I’ve been hesitant to start messing around to much but I think it should if it means it’s more reliable

I’ve been looking at this for a while. The camera I have on it is a security camera that i put on my desk while it prints if I’m gone.

Do you think its worth pulling the trigger on a raspberry pie to get this set up?

It would at least once lol

Yes, I just finished printing a rudder core for my sailboat.

For all the headache its caused, its also saved me from several trips to the store to find cable ties, chip clips, a hair dryer holder, pencil cups, spice racks, etc.

Sweet thank you!

How’s Freecad these days? I avoided awhile ago it because it looked difficult to use but I think this might push me over to it

Not yet, but I have a plan to release coverage in the future. If you put a deposit down now I’ll give it to you sometime I determine in the future

I have a quintuple-A bridge I’d like to sell this guy

Thank you for the tip! I’ll look into those for sure. It sounds like they would be a perfect fit with very little downside

Hahaha I’m good there! I’m on month 2 of what should’ve been a 3 day project for a friend. I’m chalking it up to a bad model after this and moving on to a different print to save my sanity

Thank you! I gave it a clean and fingers crossed it works put tomorrow when I’ve got some more time to mess with a test print

Thank you! Unfortunately i didnt get a cool spaghetti monster this time, but I like the idea of keeping them to see how far youve come

Thank you! I that makes me feel better about leaving it print while I’m at work

Thank you! I’d rather deal with a contaminated print than a fire

That’s fair. More accurately a different reputable brand. Prusa and Bamboo Labs are both ones I would look at if I had to do it all over again.
