New gcodeprintr Beta V1.71 is available.
A new “Dynamic timeout” option has been added to get rid of timeout messages when printing large parts.
NFC tag feature has been extended to store the printer specific config on NFC tags and read the config from tag. This allows one to easily switch between different printer configurations, just put a NFC tag on your printer containing the config for this printer. Same can be done with filament spools, just store different temperature configuration on NFC tag and stick it on your spool. GCodePrintr will automatically apply the config when the NFC tag is read.
This is really great. Do you think about to make multiple extruders option ? I also miss the visible heatbed temperature number but it is only a formality.
@Mathias_Dietz Are you familiar with the UFID movement? https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/107859862288161234107
@Mike_Creuzer yes a bit. But UFID is based on QR codes and reusable EEPROMS. They considered RFID/NFC, but determined that the QR/EEPROM combination would result in a lower barrier to entry.
The reason we did not choose nfc is the cost of the reader… the qr/eeprom does not change the printer(we are moving a large part of the filament handling to the printer… slowly)… secondly nfc requires a massive lookup table, we did not want to require a web interface on the printer.
Edit: all that being said our goals are similar, but different.
Our goal is distributed filament identification, yours is unified printer experience. But your tablet has a camera on it, the qr code actually contains all of the info about the filament. You just strip the url and parse it.
Any idea if your gonna support the HTC One M8
@Kevin_Mccusker it works with my HTC one (not m8) so it should work with m8 as well
I’m sorry i got it to work.
