Sorry for not googling but is there a prusaslicer plugin for sending straight to octoprint, and is it reliable?

No plugin needed:
Printer Settings -> General -> Print Host upload.


configured it myself just 2 days ago :)

Though the Gcode I downloaded to test said it should stop at each point and require me to hit the button to get it to continue, but that doesn't happen. It just keeps going through touching all for corners and then the center and repeats at least once more.

Never download gcode, always slice yourself*. gcode can control everything your printer does, which means it can also permanently damage your printer.
Or it might not work with your specific printer.

Always slice models yourself.


Also, i started 3d printing from zero a couple months ago, this youtube series helped me immensely:

3d Printing Basics by Thomas Sanladerer.


If you're in a rush, Episode 8 and 9 are must watch imo.



*yes, there are exceptiosn if you 100% trust the uploader.

The motors appear to be the noisy limfac.

That high-pitched whining noise?
That's because of the driver chips on the board. get the silent board and the motors will be quiet.

that's the one i got yeah. worked great right out of the box.

Saw the post before the edit, this is not relevant yet for you:
I bought the board about 1 year ago, so maybe it's different now. At the time the board did not have a bootloader, which means i couldn't install a different firmware. If you ever want to do that you can either flash the firmware with an arduino uno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIl5X2ffdyo or use a USBASP AVR Programmer. I got the BLTouch kit at the same time so i needed new firmware :)

i have only a faint idea, what your 2nd sentence means.... i just followed a video when i needed it :eng99:

You can definitely flash a bootloader onto the board, i'm guessing Creality disabled it in their firmware?


but while you're at it, consider getting some replacements for the stock springs on the heatbed. In hindsight that was a way better upgrade than a BLTouch.
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B089519PHR/
They are harder than springs. Helps keeping the bed level, the stock springs were kinda poo poo on my model.

Yes, I know google exists, but can you link your favorite sites with information? I need test prints and software and idk I'm so excited!

this playlist (Thomas Sanladerer printing basics):

Prusaslicer (there is other software, but this is my personal favourite.):

You can find models on thingieverse (again, there are other pages ):

This has been mostly hit, with some initial missteps due to a loose X gantry.
It's on a largish bookshelf on the side of the room/not in a place that gets bumped/nudged often.
I went through 3 other spools of Sunlu PLA and things have been almost perfect till this spool, and I understand white can also be more finicky, but this is just odd, and mostly constrained to the first layer.

Like everything else has been :discourse:


I have no idea, what that is, but i want it :3:

could you post a link for the model?
