Thanks, just about to add a similar type soon - will keep this handy!

@Alex_Lee thanks! I did Slic3r because it has so many options in so many places. Cura is much easier to set up, but I’ll definitely make a video on the subject!

@Thomas_Sanladerer
Another great video that taught me some useful information! I really appreciate the quality of your videos, both in content and in audio, video, and editing. Very professionally done.
You really should set up a Patreon account so I can donate for each of these excellent videos.

anybody know how to change menu in marlin? not just words (that is easy with language.h) but how to change menu hierarchy and what they does. i just want to remove unnecessary menus,

6

@Karan_Chaphekar afiak, the entire menu structure is generated by dogm_lcd_implementation.h (or ultralcd_implementation_hitachi_HD44780.h)
It’s not really user-configurable, though.

I think repetier-firmware is configurable. Anybody got experience in that

Another great one @Thomas_Sanladerer . This and OctoPrint are on my ToDo list so the laptop doesn’t spend all day in the guest room. I’m assuming this is compatible with the Azteeg X1. I’l have to research it.

Can the LCD be connected to the printer at the same time as a RPi running Octoprint? If so, does Octoprint recognize the SD card holder on the LCD for storing and printing sliced files? Was thinking it was better to print from the SD card rather than over USB.

10

Yes, and Yes.
However, I think printing from SD loses you some real-time control/adjustment through OctoPrint. You can monitor and stop the print, but I think that’s about it.

Your the F’n man @Thomas_Sanladerer !
