Looking to try some white PETG for mechanical part but would like to buy something that will work well.
I realize that every lot and even color can be different but for those how use a lot, what do you buy?
Thanks!

You can stop using that horrible lithium grease in the carriages. It's supposed to be a very thin machine oil. The lithium was for the old metal-on-metal Z axis. Take the carriage off, clean it out with WD40 and alcohol until it's dry, then lubricate with 1 drop per side of sewing machine oil. Clea...

I'd be careful... I use cheap Logitech C270's and the one I ran inside an enclosure one time pretty much stopped working. It could be coincidence but I wouldn't try it with any camera that was expensive that's for sure. Yes, I have a mount that uses a magnet to hold the cam to the Plexiglas on the ...

Go the webcam configured to have a half decent picture. Had to install uvcdynctrl and turn off my LED spotlight as they were too bright.. maybe try an ND filter with the lights so I can see what is going on when standing there.

Almost perfect, got webcam hacked so I can focus it.. but can I put it inside my enclosure .. guess it will survive the heat if I print abs? gets over 100F where I will have it mounted.. any horror stories? I can put it out side but the plexi glass really sucks..

Well I had asked about the USB connection to the laptop killing prints when dropped and the printer stopping when the windows was busy.. Pi and octoprint was said to be the bees knees good to go no issues. :D So far with the webcam I into it for $90, I have the monitor and keyboard/mouse so will giv...

Will using the pi as the interface while the print is running cause the printer to stop when the pi is busy with me using the UI? I guess I don't understand what your trying to do... Usually the whole point of using a Pi and Octoprint is to free up a main computer and just have a reliable system fe...

With octoprint you can do all that from any computer, table, or even your smart phone you don't need all that extra stuff. I realize that, just have space next to the printer and I'm old.. so I like Keyboards (use one 12 hour a day) and monitors larger then 20" as my eyes are old.. I can keep using...

So I have most of the parts, just waiting on the sd card which will come tomorrow and printing a case.. anyway, I am contemplating getting a cheap monitor and usb key board and mouse for local access, loading, unloading, leveling etc.. My concern is with the Printer, keyboard and mouse all being use...

Thanks Will! So I also have a dedicated laptop but hate seeing the printer come to a stop for a second or 2 when windows is busy doing something else or rebooting to install a patch without telling me... and the task of switching the SD card back and forth is also a annoying.. So it was recommended ...
