I bought a number of LG G6 "retail demo" phones and flashed new firmware on them. For about 30$ per printer, it adds WiFi, a web interface, a touch screen and a webcam. Not sure if it will solve firmware issues, but if the printer works properly with G-CODE, you should be able to post-process your files to do whatever you need to. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: gamepimp on October 18, 2023, 04:11:20 pm ---I just picked up a Creality K1 that uses Klipper firmware. You can use a web interface like Fluidd or Mainsail to access the firmware configuration file. You basically open it up like a text document, make whatever change you want, save, and restart the printer. It can't get much easier to tweak things. A lot of folks will use a Sonic Pad or Big Tree Tech Pad to add Klipper to a machine currently running Marlin. The pad does the processing and tells the controller board how to move the printer. Plus you get a nice big screen for your printer. Win-win. :) Klipper gives you the ability to adjust pressure advance and input shaping with an accelerometer. There are also lots of other calibrations that can be done through macros. It certainly has made fine tuning my printer a much easier process. --- End quote --- I got lots of android phones and pads and stuff kicking around... i'll have to look into this. :cheers: thanks <3 |

--- Quote from: lilshawn on October 17, 2023, 08:47:43 pm --- kinda seems like it just plugs in via usb and sends gcode directly through to the controller... then you just send your slices to the pi instead? i do have a pi zero w kicking around... but apparently according to klipper there isn't enough processing power there to do it (well anyways)... i may just try it anyway and see if it ends up being an issue. --- End quote --- Yep, the pi handles the heavy lifting and sends basic commands to the control board. Only downside is that the commands are sent in small batches, so aside from hitting the kill switch (which is instant) a command won't be processed until the last batch has finished. It's only noticeable if you know to look for it. The pi also runs a web ui which can be accessed through any device on the home network with a web browser. A pi zero will work, it just won't have enough power to send a webcam stream or use the input shaper function. The input shaper function allows the printer to run faster by avoiding resonant frequencies that cause artifacts at higher speeds. The more aggressive settings will round corners a bit, but the settings are up to you. There is a plugin called Klipperscreen that will allow you to use the old android phones as screens, but I haven't used it. I am happy with the web interface and have started building printers without screens. Just install mainsailOS on the pi zero w via Raspberry Pi imager and poke around the web ui. That will give you a feel for it without committing much time. I did it on an original Pi zero and it worked. |

Those of you with an ender printer - I use this site here for my firmware - https://marlin.crc.id.au/ Also, I use Octoprint on of all things, a 30ish dollar android tv box. https://www.amazon.com/T95-Mini-TUREWELL-cortex-A53-Streaming/dp/B07SM8WTBT/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1KAW4SK9EUEJN&keywords=android+tv+box+t95+mini&qid=1697737466&sprefix=android+tv+box+t95+mini%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 You can load armbian onto it, latest firmware here - https://forum.inovato.com/post/where-can-i-get-the-quadra-firmware-12449387 |

does this look like it's just under-extruding? or something else? freshly opened new filament, it says 210 =/- 15 degrees so i'm printing at 200 (like all my other stuff). 100% infill so it's not hollow. |
