MakerGear makes hardware. Nothing you are referring to came from MakerGEAR. If you are going to rudely point fingers, at least point them in the correct direction.

If all you want to do is to observe and be able to stop a bad print, I am using a super simple setup that might work for you. I have two webcams pointed at my printer from two different angles so I can see a close up of the print bed and a wide view so I can see the filament spool. I use a free ivid...

Oh yeah, this was ABS, not PLA. Not sure that it matters, but I had it confused with a different print.

It took VERY little support - just a few columns under the jaw and a few in the temple insets. Overall it was a very easy print.

Even though I'm really enjoying the peace since my M2 sits only five feet away from me while I work, I do miss it "singing" to me! I always thought the moves sounded a bit like machine music.

Once done, the fans seemed really loud, so I removed the laser cut "M2" part of my case lid and replaced the fan with a Noctua fan and installed a metal fan guard. My ma...

Since both my outside cameras are wired via ethernet (wireless was WAY too unreliable), I guess my options are: Try a power conditioner on the printer to see if that isolates the printer from the Powerline Ethernet switches (I already have one, so nothing to lose) Face the spiders and run an etherne...

I know this a very strange and probably isolated case, but I thought I'd reach out for explanation here first. This has been driving me a bit crazy. It's not M2 specific, but given the brilliance of our members, I thought it wise to ask here first. I have hooked up two separate IP cameras outside my...

I get clunking and chatter from the extruder, E-Stop, then try to retract, can get 5mm retracted then it gets caught on and clunks again. Pull the thread and its all mashed up, but still connected. I suppose the tension is too high...but it was barely tensioned on one of the trials. The gap for the...
