Stuff your 3D printer has made today...

Anyone else find that when you're doing a print, if you happen to look at the printer, you find yourself entranced watching it for a while? These things still amaze me, how they work.

If I ever need to dry any of my filament I'll simply turn the bed heater on my K1 on a low setting and stick the spools in the enclosure on standoffs.

Any fully enclosed printer could do the same.

I had a first image in my mind of the reels in your bed with the electric blanket warming & drying them ... I wonder if it would work ..my bed blanket gets rather hot on the max setting and auto cuts off after an hour and a half

Well now I have finished it, I have realised that it wasn't what I was trying to build at all! One fuse was supposed to be used for the SLA and the other three left free for cabin services to protect!

Came across this software/firmware addon, the other day, for the Anycubic Kobra printers.

GitHub - jbatonnet/Rinkhals: Custom firmware for the Anycubic Kobra series of 3D printers (Kobra 2 Pro, Kobra 3, Kobra 3 V2, Kobra S1 and Kobra 3 Max)

Only had a little play with it, so far, but it seems to extend the functionality of the printer, to some degree. One thing I am currently trying to figure out, though, is how to get their slicer to find the printer when it's in lan mode. They've made some annoying changes to the slicer. It does allow the printer to work with OctoApp though, & you can access a web interface for the printer once the above is installed.
