Learning Shortcodes - rawhtml I am using the shortcode called rawhtml (note that it needs to be {{ … }}, skip the blanks, that was just something I had to do here) that is provided in the PaperMod theme: 1 2 3 4 5 6 { {< rawhtml >} } <hr> <p>^And _here some <b>HTML</b> content...</p> <p align="center"><strong>This is raw HTML</strong></p> <hr> { {< /rawhtml >} } This is the result:...

I really think it is time for a new 3D printer and I am doing my research.

My Latest 3D Print Project It has been some time since I last 3D printed something, nothing too crazy, but certainly a couple of days. Getting back into my little 3D printing corner felt really good, back in the seat again ;-) OK, that was the intro of just getting into it all again. Additionally, I made some updates to the Raspberry Pi’s/OctoPi installations. I was also looking into slicer (Prusa slicer and Cura are my preferred slicers....

This is explaining the process of a typical 3D printing process. Sharing some ideas, my specific setup and the tools that helps me. There is even a little video clip to enjoy ;-)

OctoPrint Need Help In this article from All3D published 30th of October we learn that Gina Häussge, who is OctoPrint’s creator and full-time maintainer, has suffered a significant loss in funding. It’s that bad that without us chipping in it will be difficult to continue the project - one of the absolute main player in the 3D printing community. For Sure! We need to chip in and help Gina!

The Nicest 3D Print assignment Today I am printing a little something for someone’s birthday. That is always the nicest things to print. It is currently, at the very moment when I am writing this, about 92% done. It’s a very nice type of 3D print job - only 1 hour and 21 minutes. The result doesn’t look too bad at all, some stringing, but not bad at all! Fingers crossed....

A Little Follow-up So, during the last prints that I wrote about in the earlier post, I ran into an issue on the Prusa Mini+. All of a sudden, the Octoprint lost the connection to the printer. It might have happened before but then I just had to refresh or, at most, restart the page to fix it. This time I restarted the page during the print and then, even after the print was done, I tried to connect....

Annoying… Yesterday when I was busy with 3D printing I ran all of a sudden into issues. While printing with the Prusa Mini+ printer I lost the connection between Octoprint (hosted on Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W). I noticed first on the web-frontend, that is how I monitor the progress. Raspberry Pi… I was going through the troubleshooting guide accessible from Octoprint. It did not resolve anything; it basically suggested changing the existing settings for Serial Port and Baudrate....
