Octoprint? Works great if it is, and some of the plugins are really good.

That's the plan.
I've also got a 3.5" GPIO touchscreen for it, but need to do some reading up. Never used a Pi before, and my printer runs a BTT SKR Mini E3 board for an extra non-standard challenge. I can foresee some hair loss on the horizon..

Restoring it, going to sand / media blast and repaint, as with the moggy minor and other bits.

Waiting for the workshop 'master plan' to come together, nearly there...

Not teaching you to suck eggs, heard of this lot?

Same board as me

I also fitted a touch screen but rarely use it, I just use the octoprint web interface on my phone or pc. I fitted a pi camera and can do all the time lapse stuff but it makes printing take an age as the print head gets out of the way when the picture is taken. Looks very cool though

. The camera is useful to keep an eye on the print, saved me from wasting time with snapped filaments and birds nests a few times.

This arrived today from @Fazerruss

Tangledfeet · Jun 30, 2021

A wee 100mm vice for the welding table; made (in my tiny yet overactive mind) by a lederhosen clad Fräulein in Germany - a Peddinghaus sold under the Ridgid name in the UK. I could've paid a tenner for next-day delivery with DPD but opted for free economy delivery - and it still arrived next-day with DPD!

You can even get an app for the octoprint that uses the camera to detect bird nests and stop the print

(not that I’ve ever bothered to set it up… usually find out 10hrs later :mad:

that its got wrong 90% finished :doh:

That's handy to know.
Anything I need to watch out for with setting it up for the BTT board?

I figured the display would be helpful for setting up as this wil be my first octoprint setup, but I'm sure I can find other uses for it.

Interesting... looks good in pictures and spec sheet anyway! be good to know what you think quality wise. I always thought Ridgid stiff was Chinese, but haven't had much experience of their stuff apart from strap wrenches.

Must admit that I was under the impression that they're (like most these days) made in the Far East so was quite surprised to see 'made in Germany', and they're certainly way, way more affordable than other vices made in Germany - Heuer for example. Mine was £103 and quality wise I only have old (British made) Record vices to compare to but I'm so far impressed; very stiff, opens and closes very precisely, jaws (albeit they aren't replaceable but I'll be using aluminium or copper soft jaws) close perfectly - and it opens up to a disproportionate amount for its 100mm jaw size! Very well painted too. Only minor thing is the rubber rings at the end of the tommy bar but packaging would be double the size if it were shipped fully assembled so I'm okay with that.

Oh, and welding nice and tidy too!

Some lovely Knipex cutters

xstian · Jun 30, 2021

This arrived this morning. There are a couple of issues with it, hot starting and it runs hot, but otherwise pretty good for a 50 year car.

And this arrived this afternoon. Hopefully I won't need it for the above.
