And here's a link to Adafruit Raspberry Pi I'm using https://www.adafruit.com/products/3055

You will also need a 5v power supply/usbcharger and a micro sd card.

For me the OctoPi was dead simple to setup and use. The latest Raspberry Pi has built in WiFi that make setup a breeze. You only need to edit one config file to add your network settings. I also switched two of the axes in the default profile so the arrows moved the bed in the correct direction. Con...

Is 0-0.03 inches enough range? Seems like it would be tough to get the bed locked at the right level.

This application allows you to re-set your Starting Height using metric feeler gauges to fine-tune the gap for the first layer for improved appearance. The Z-Adjust App does not run through the Leveling process. The blue plastic f...

Is the MakerGear PLA that ships with the printer really temperature insensitive or am I doing a temperature test wrong? I printed this 15x15x60 block starting the bottom layer temperature at 220. I set S3D to lower the temp 2.5 degrees every 25 layers until 190. I can't see any difference from the t...

Thanks for the fast reply Tim!

Did you find the Smoothie improved your M2 prints?

I found a large improvement on on my delta when I switched to a smoothie, but I read it didn't do as much for a cartesian printer.
