Long prints on the K8400

Two more questions!

1.) Could I ask what the longest print time you’ve managed with the K8400 is? With it being a new design I’m bit nervous about its reliability, have you managed long prints (8-10+ hours) successfully?

2.) Can the printer be controlled by the RPi + PiCam combination - so that you can monitor a long print remotely and stop it if it fails for some reason?

Hi,

We have completed long prints like you mention. On the product webpage you can see some pictures of completed prints.

The printer has an arduino mega derived motherboard and the firmware is opensource so there are numerous ways to enhance and hack the possibilities.

sincerely

Thank you very much. I’m just about ready to order!

I just finished a 21h56 mn print.
It took me a long time to set the machine right, but it’s done.
Now I’ve a problem with the next piece not starting centered, if you have a clue, I take it.
Cheers
