So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit… issues… I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

    Oh nice, I still have my OctoPrint server set up on my Raspberry Pi attached to the other side of my Ender-3 (which has sat neglected for a couple of years I’m sad to say). Was really happy when I discovered it as it made using the printer so much better than constantly running back and forth with my USB stick.

    I even made a remix of an OctoPrint monitor so I could keep an eye on progress - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4055922

      Hah, that is awesome! I originally wrote it because I was annoyed of having to keep the printer tethered to my PC and pray that a Windows update would not kill my print job - that was before SD cards let alone USB sticks became the norm, so it was even worse 😅 It has since taken over my life 😬

        Well glad to say that I for one think it has been worth it, its a really nice tool and I think I would have given up using the printer in frustration long ago without it. The plugin system is really useful to add functionality too (I can’t remember the name now but I have a screen on the PI so I can control the printer without using the main controls or having to use my PC).
