Folks,
Forum user Geit gave me a helpful push and I learned how to added additional attachment types to our forums. You can now attach/upload FCStd, F3d and STL files. In addition I have increased the PDF file size limit so I can more easily upload DrVAX video slides decks.
All the best. Irv
P.S. -- What post processing did you do on the G-Code? I haven't played around with that plugin much.
I have that box in a collection to be printed
so many things to print and it's always running something. My son's both have requests and I've been printing bigger stuff that takes longer lately.
I didnt edit the gcode, just using the cura 4.6.1 default. It just raises z and puts build plate forward.
Oh I did add a modifier. That just added Print time remaining on screen
e.g. 20min left on my current 21hour Skyrim dragon skull - ill do a time lapse of that too
Ahh, I want to play music on my display, but alas the closed firmware
This reminds me, I think it would be a fantastic project to find a way to use old cell phones as the control screen for 3D printers. I realise cell phones don't have the drivers needed to control stepper motors, or the relays needed to provide enough power to the bed and hotend heaters. Still, I wonder if a very cheap circuit board with those elements, connected via USB, would be a good option for controlling 3D printers.
I don't enough knowledge of electronics to know how viable it might be, but I think it's intriguing, especially since almost everyone has old cell phones laying around the house.

I can run, control, and watch my printer remotely using OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi and an app on my phone. Our host has a nice video with step-by-step instructions on setting it up. I think there are apps that will do all that over WiFi but there are shortcomings slicing on a phone. There are cloud services too.
I do understand all that. I'm thinking of using old smart phones as LCD touchscreens for 3D printer. Why pay for a touchscreen panel when you have them already?
What a great idea! Repurposing old phone cameras ... Thanks!
I also run IPWebCam app, so you turn your wifi connected old smart phone into a wireless IP Camera, (which you can run in the background of the Timelapse App) - this has been a bit touch and go running in the background, so ive mainly done one or the other lately, but working from home im checking on it often - when i go back to work in the office i may need to fix this)
I use TinyCam app to view it (which i already use to view my other security cameras).
