New Printer Released Sovol released a new printer called Comgrow T300 . Is it a collaboration between Sovol and Comgrow? I try to understand the joint effort between Sovol and Comgrow. Didn’t I read somewhere that Sovol overtook Comgrow? Not sure… Is There a Market For it? The strange is the market for that specific printer specification - 300*300*250 mm build area - as both Sovol and Comgrow have a lot of printers with similar specifications and performance....

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.

This time I restarted the page during the print and then, even after the print was done, I tried to connect....

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....

Today’s 3D Printing Jobs Today I am running 2 3D print jobs at the same time, a cable winder organizer on the Creality Ender 3 v2 and then an airduct on (and for) my Prusa Mini+ printer. The cable winder job on the Ender printer had a difficult start, first layer was giving issues. It was sticking OK, but the problem was that it was pushing around surplus filament on the print bed....

Adaptions I am busy doing some adaptions to this sites. I initially started designing it with the idea of replacing my Daily update site. But I started re-thinking that idea… How about if this could be the new IamPrinting.xyz site instead? Practical and Ideas Working with Hugo Working with Hugo and in Markdown brings some new challenges. Here below are the two ways of adding images and how to include HTML tags in Markdown....
