Real-Time or Close-To-Real-Time Minimum Viable External/Remote 3D Printer Status Check
Submitted by Charlie Long on Tue, 10/31/2023 - 3:50pmIt would be handy to know how many of the 3D printers available for use are currently in-use, or to check up on a print remotely.
I understand the very real concerns regarding exposing 3D printer control interfaces to the public, which is why I instead propose we mirror the most basic of information (whether the device is currently in use, how long is left on a print, etc) to an externally accessible web-page, potentially on the MakeHaven site itself.

2 inch high waterjet brick panels for cutting glass and more delicate or intricate parts inother materials.
Submitted by Linda Parsloe on Thu, 10/05/2023 - 12:31pmA flat and uniform support for the glass is essential to avoid cracking. The Waterjet Brick works well for cutting glass. Cut on top of Waterjet Brick to avoid frosting the back side of the glass with slat splashback. Avoids the risk of sprayback from slat deflection as much as possible. If the precautions are not taken to avoid sprayback, the glasspiece can be frosted or broken outright because of the spray pressure from the deflection.
