Re: Wattages!

Thanks, trying to set up the "Printer Stats" plugin on octoprint to help gauge power usage. Not sure how useful it will be unless it can somehow detect the usage itself

Re: PEI Bed Surface

I had my 1/8" PEI sheet laminated to the bed and I had such a horribly uneven surface that I just flipped the glass over and forgot about it.
