Getting the Most from your Continuous 3D Printer
There are more than a few continuous-build printers out now - my own PrintShift platform that modifies a Prusa Mini, the PowerBelt 3D beltprinter, Naomi Wu's CR-30, and the Autodrop folks have automatically-ejecting Kossels available. This video explores some software to better control machines which can print parts when you're not there to clear off the bed. Please note - I am not paid by any of the folks below - just sharing how I use my machines. There are a great many cloud services and I’d expect even more to pop up - I might do a proper review/comparison later, but this is not that, just an intro that should get you started with your auto-ejecting printer. The Octopi image I’m using is available here: https://octoprint.org/download/ Please donate to Octoprint if you can - money or time! It is an amazing package.
