Geeetech A30 with WLan card

Post by Nyemrinju » Wed Nov 28, 2018 9:45 pm

I was tired of removing the flash card every time and putting it in my computer to store print jobs. Since I print larger projects, I did not want to cut and print them over my phone. Instead, I got a WIFI SD card and it works (almost) perfect. But it was still an adapter to get from Micro SD to SD. Then the integration into the network as a drive was not a problem. Only the direct saving of Simplify3D on the map does not work properly. The pressure stopped in the middle. By caching the G-code and then copying it to the card brought the desired effect! :D
If interested, I will gladly help.

Sounds like you should try OctoPrint: https://octoprint.org/

It's great! It uses a Raspberry Pi, connects to the printer via USB and has a web interface where you can slice and store files for printing.

You can even have Simplify3D upload the files to Octoprint: https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wik ... -Octoprint

I second this vote! Octoprint is amazing and allows full printing management remotely. Plus it has dozens of really useful plugins and it's free.
