--- Quote from: Howard_Casto on February 27, 2019, 07:59:04 pm ---Fair enough. Let me know how it works for you because I've been thinking of doing the auto-level mod but half of everybody out there says it isn't worth it. Never sure who to believe on these things. I just know that calibration is a pain in the butt when you haven't used it in a while. --- End quote --- Yeah, I’ve actually gotten pretty good at just manually leveling my printer and tweaking it if need be. But I would like to try auto-leveling to see how well it works. |

have looked at octoprint. seems like a better way to go than using an SD card. Have a spare rpi2 somewhere i can use. been waiting for my printer to show. It's been "out for delivery" since this morning. |

I built an enclosure for my ender 3 and after a while it just got to be a pain in the ass because I couldn't easily work on the printer. In a perfect world I wouldn't need to work on it, but I felt like I was always having a hard time. I'm only printing PLA in a cold basement so I didn't get much benefit from it anyway. |
