This morning, while weighing my options for remote printing on my #prusa MK3, I (re)discovered PrusaLink when trying to find instructions for setting up a RPi0 on the printer's pins.

After an exceedingly long first boot (after all, the Pi0 is a single-core ARM6 CPU), I was greeted with the machine's IP on the printer's screen.

Linking the printer to my Prusa account was a breeze, and PrusaSlicer just worked out of the box after logging in.

Quickly sliced something I wanted to print, and sent it remotely.

It is now printing happily.

I am OVER THE MOON after being able to resurrect this machine 😀

My venerable #prusa MK3S+ was resurrected from its ~3-year slumber.

Updated the firmware to the most recent one, dusted off the print bed, put glue on the bed, loaded up filament, and tried to print an old GCODE from the SD card, a full-plate sheet to check for leveling.

That particular file might have been generated for the MK3 (this printer was upgraded from that model), and it threw out SEVERAL errors, either related to leveling (I suspect it might have to do with the fact that new firmware expects to only level around the part, not the whole bed) or temperature.

Sliced a #Benchy, slapped it onto the SD card, and it's now doing a ~1.5-hour print like it had never stopped a day.

I'll have to see if I can get PETG working, too. If so, I'll be able to print quite a bit more things than on an 18x18 bed 😛

And I'll need to get a phone for it, for Octo4a.

Proč hanit #Průša a jeho #Prusament ?
Za tohle může evidentně skladování nebo spíše doprava a jejich skladování - sám jsem to zažil, proto v létě kdy jsou vedra volím lepší dopravce.
Prošlo nám v #3D #farma už přes XX tisíc cívek a to 2/3 návin nad 1kg. #Prusament považuji po #DevilDesign a #Fiberlogy za dobrý co se týče dlouhodobé kvality.
Ale pokud jsi koupil 1 cívku a potřebuješ tisknou, chápu tvé rozhořčení ....

Když jsem byl v knihovně se synem, na akci pro předškoláky, viděl jsem, že tam mají malého Průšu a řekl jsem si, jestli knihovna náhodou taky netrpí tím, co tady někdo z majitelů 3D tiskáren popisoval a sice že většinu času se na něj jen práší, protože není pořádně co tisknout.
Nabídl jsem se knihovně jako dobrovolník, že bych mohl dětem ukázat, jak kreslit vlastní modely v online #CAD programu #onshape.

A hádejte co, mají zájem (ostatně nemají moc co ztratit)
takže jsme se domluvili na pilotní hodině a pak uvidíme, kam dál.

As GLEW is unmaintained, uses GLX by default and the EGL part is unfinished, the best would be if projects would migrate to GLAD.

I've migrated PrusaSlicer to GLAD today.

github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer

PrusaSlicer already used GLAD, the question is why it used GLEW then?

GLEW is unmaintained and libvgcode already uses GLAD.
This is works in progress.

Learn a lesson from me, friendos: Do not ever clean a 3D printer nozzle with side cutters. I did this a couple weeks ago removing stuck PETG and realized immediately I messed up. Prints started stringing and had other issues only after then. I ordered replacement nozzles (obxidian!) and finally got around to swapping the nozzle and taking a closer look today. Under a microscope it's easy to see that no only did I take a chunk out of one side, the bottom is uneven.

I understand why Prusa is so late delivering the camera for the Core One. When I finally received it, the plastic is scratched, there are no magnets in it so I can’t mount it, and it doesn’t work to connect it to the printer. They should have just waited a while longer to get things working.

@3dprinting And now I have a parallelogram shaped gift box. This is becoming my standard gift box: fitted insert, lid with bow printed on. This was only challenging in that the heart is too complex to import into Fusion360 as an STL.

The blue and red ribbon is the same filament as the veins and arteries. The lid is the same as the stand.

Tbf, when you say #Prusa Loyalists. I'm not saying you're wrong; but I do feel like there's a lot of valid reasons why someone would prefer buying a prusa machine. They're the most open source 3D printing company around. They provide insanely long firmware updates. The customer support is excellent. It's built in Europe. They're upgradeable.
All of these things have costs associated with them. And for a lot of people including myself, that's a cost i'm willing to pay
