  • This is going to sound stupid, but don’t forget to activate bed levelling after performing the leveling measurements. Maybe this is a stupid idea but I put M29 L1 and M29 A at the start of my gcode to load the ubl slot 1 mesh and activate it. Before getting ubl I used M420 S.

    I spent way too much time frustrated by bad prints before I learned that leveling wasn’t active.


















  • I’ve been using a pi3 b+ with octopi and so far it’s great even without obico, plus super easy to set up. I set up octopi to get my ender 3 away from high occupancy areas because the hot plastic VOCs were giving me paranoia :P I can recommend investing in a solid setup for any small computer used to drive 3d prints. My setup is a hack with no thermal management and a crap power supply and I’ve lost a couple of prints to unknown causes but I blame the raspberry pi (it’s almost always reporting under voltage events in the octoprint UI).

    Has anyone here run self-hosted obico? I’m not keen on the cloud version but if the failure detection works in self hosted mode I’m definitely going to give it a try.
