Re: Question from potential owner (fans?)

Re: Octoprint, Custom Controls, and Bed Leveling

I would like to hear more about the offsets. I have a few different print surfaces/beds, and this would be awesome to have so I can set it easily upon swapping beds.

Re: Cracks/Defects in 3D Model

Two things come to mind.

1) Extrusion Multipler - If you are not laying down as much plastic as intended, the wall will be weak.
