The quest continues to improve my humble (but growing) 3D printer set up! I've got all equipment on a smart plug that can be turned on/off remotely, grabbed a new raspberry pi with Octoprint upgraded and themed, got the webcam mounted and run through Octoprint, have it on my VPN to control it from anywhere without exposing it to the Internet, have a wifi ambient temperature sensor with alarm, and the new Bento box air filter is doing great! Been making gridfinity bins like a fiend!
I wrote up a diary of my trip to #FAB25 over on the @tog blog.
It covers everything from giving workshops and talks, late-night maker chats, multimeter sessions, the maker train, and even bringing my mother to the public day. It was a brilliant week.

New Core One firmware!

"Option to disable grille check warnings" -- yes, please. That warning is irrelevant to me and just makes it awkward to start prints remotely since it won't show status until it is cleared.
New chamber illumination setting sounds familiar, oh wait: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/4511#issuecomment-2827596785 (yay)
"Nozzle no longer heats unnecessarily on unload" -- another good one, since the filament retracts after a print it isn't necessary.
Hat in #Dortmund vielleicht ein Mensch Interesse an einem gebrauchtem #prusa MK3S? Das Display ist nicht mehr gut lesbar und die Lager brauchen eventuell einen Tropfen Öl, aber sonst sollte alles funktionieren.
Sehr gerne auch an junge und/oder finanziell limitierte Menschen einfach gegen Abholung.

Brew Better with a 3D Printer: Exploring Coffee Prints
Coffee is a daily eye-opener for almost the entire planet, but for me, it walks the fine line between a hobby and obsession. I enjoy the caffeine kick too, but like a true coffee geek, I always try to extract the...

Wonderful this subject is of interest to me and also the individual which I shall cc in the end.
I shall have a peek at this hashtag thank you for sharing
I think that this will peak your interest
Swapped filament to something else with a plastic spool and holy crap it moves so much more smoothly.
Now I’m wondering how many of my weird problems are simply the result of cardboard spools being too light or creating too much friction. #Prusa #PrusaMk4S #3DPrinting
It will be hilarious if this was the problem, because the A1 tool heads also have a problem where the screws loosen on the mount for the nozzle and you get bad bed probing as a result.
At least Bambu acknowledges this in their wiki though. #Prusa #PrusaMk4S #3DPrinting
All of the screws were somewhat loose. The top ones tightened, but the bottom ones feel like they’re just threaded into plastic and are just spinning.
Started a print and so far so good. #Prusa #PrusaMk4S #3DPrinting
Internet says... tighten the screws on the back of the toolhead, even if they're already tight.
#Prusa says you can slightly loosen the fan screws because those are known to interfere with the load cell. But that requires taking the part fan off so I'll leave that as the second step.
At this point I have to unload and load filament every time or nozzle cleaning fails. This is not what I expected when I paid more than double.
Not sure if this is a PLA problem, a switching from PETG to PLA problem, or just a new problem. Printer homes fine without any filament loaded and works fine as long as it gets past the nozzle cleaning stage.
Yes the little silicone brush that many other printers have is a consumable but maybe that would have been a better idea. #Prusa #PrusaMk4S #3DPrinting
Bambu shill mode activate!
Neither one of my A1 series printers ever had this type of problem. I never have to babysit the filament spool to make sure the print starts properly. #Prusa #PrusaMk4S #3DPrinting
