Mosaic Manufacturing announced their new multi color/material palette earlier this week. The Palette 2 and the Palette 2 pro. Supposedly the Pro version will print up to 20% faster than the Palette 2 model. They also released a Canvas hub (that to my knowledge we don't need with the robo line of printers). The Canvas hub allows the printer...

I thought I would try and improve the cooling as well as enable full control of the extruder fan. At the moment it comes on as soon as you turn the machine on which not only a waste of energy but is really annoying & loud!

So, my idea is to use the second extruder heating element plug and re-enable it as the extruder cooling fan pin. This will give on / off and speed control. Marlin has the...

It's my understanding you first level the bed to make sure it's somewhere close to where it needs to be by using the z offset paper and adjusting each screw in turn. This gives you a square bed to the x / y axis.

My idea is to write a bit of code that does the following..
Homes the bed, then moves it down by say 10mm
It then moves the head to say point 30,30 and...

This is ready for someone to review/test. It is not a functional replacement, but a functional copy of the Robo UI. It needs someone to validate that it works and behaves the same as the original and to make notes of where things are different. Some resources may be wrong/missing (icons, etc) so make notes of these in the issues section. Again it is just the UI -- no control is actually implemented so you can't control the printer...

So, I really didn't intend or want to go down this route but I've been getting inconsistent auto-bed leveling from the present R2 setup. It might well be that I'm just so used to the G28 command (Home) being XYZ=0.. and the bed sitting under the nozzle at the front left. With the default R2 the Z home is when the bed is at the bottom of the unit. I'm not sure why they did this, or infact why they use the M206 command.. it's all a bit...

Would love to see if R2 can print BB-8

Started an issue with the plugin creator and his specific response was it wasn't designed for use with rPi camera and avconv so stuff would have to be rewritten. I can get it to stream outside of OctoPrint but it is inconsistent. will keep working on this.

This is a work in progress so please report if there are issues with your setup.
