Setup of my j1s android. software and tweaks

Haha, it seems it reads much more complicated than it actually was to do it - with all the software things done, the biggest issue someone else needs to do is actually to get those stupid connectors and crimp all the adapter cables together :laughing:

Maybe it is the metal work… If I did not have a milling machine, I would replace the lower side cover with a 3D printed part that includes the fan and antenna outlet (can be done with the J1). Then the only thing that must be done is the hole in the frame, but that one does not need to look good.

The filament sensors are nice-to-have but no necessity, therefore I would postpone those to step 2 and would either go for an arduino or such to read out the filament sensors or use a micro switch instead - get one with a lever and 3D print a holder that fits into the original filament sensor case. :slight_smile:

Anyway, if you need access to my website, just drop me a line which includes your country (or rather the one of your ISP whose IP my website “sees”) and I can adjust the blocking plugin.

But back to topic :wink:

Actually, I probably could make a Pi Pico to do the sensor thing at this point. :thinking:

… and that is probably the moment where I declare your solution ambitious :rofl

Oh! Do you have a new link for a C270 wide angle lens?

Saw your image on the screenshot in the new thread. I just slapped an old C270 I used on an Ender on it and adjusted focus. It sees about half the print bed.

I never thought to find a WA lens. I’d gotten an RPi WA camera, but it’s collecting dust cuz I’m too lazy to sketch up a mount and rewire it. :sweat_smile:

Thanks! The affiliate link on the Printables post was dead.

t i meant to say i use the fisheye, not wide lens

Yeah. I put on the wide lens and it helps a little.

You can defocus the camera lens to save the macro lens for other things.

The fish eye is wider still. But for me it sticks out too far and could get smacked if the extruder runs across the front line.
