  • After being a Prusa user for years I’m happy I took the leap and bought 3 X1s. The new MK4 looks a little disappointing. Never thought MK3 needed a stiffer frame, color screen or a MMU.
    Do you need to access your printer over the internet? Possibly not. But your position is that BL are sending data to their cloud service without good reason. That it offers a feature not provided by Octoprint and Mainsail is that good reason. There are even 3rd party services for Octoprint to ADD this functionality and they charge money for it e.g. https://polar3d.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • FlashCloud had disappeared
    Polar Cloud is hosted in the west and in my opinion integrates better with the printer than Flashcloud. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Need help
    Have 3 flashforge guider IIs that connect to polar cloud, https://polar3d.com/. Don’t know if this is a flashforge program or 3rd party. There is a setting to allow for polar cloud connect. Source: over 2 years ago
