The printing program at our school is at it’s best when all students feel like they can get something 3D Printed. It took us a while to get here, though. I had students coming in before class in the morning or during recess and asking me if I could print something for them. The answer is yes. I had students that saw the printers but didn’t think that they were tools for their use too - only for set modules or times of the year. To set the record straight, I made a little sheet to hang above the 3D printer. Now, any Ss can come into my room and follow the instructions to send their job to the s ..read more

  This topic has been covered elsewhere, but I want to shed a little more color on what should be a simple solution. I do not see ANY USB camera that requires extra libraries to be installed via command line to be a viable option for your Octoprint setup. The PS Eye that I bought many years ago (based on the recommendation in these articles, no less) does NOT work. A cheap USB camera purchased from Amazon did NOT work without running some command on startup each time your instance was rebooted. To me..
