Check that it works with Klipper!

The convenience and control Klipper provides is phenomenal. You don’t have to use it if it turns out you dont like it, but I feel like ruling it out as an option now would be a shame.

I would also point out that you should not be put off by the “official” supported printers list for Klipper, a bit of Googling will often turn up some mini projects where people are actively working on supporting the printer with Klipper before the main project gets round to adding official support.

Thank so much for this survey. So much useful detail. Great stuff!

You mention Blender in passing. Any thoughts on using it for CAD design for 3d printing? “Keep Making” on YouTube seems to love it for that, once some plugins are installed.

I think such a dataset would be very useful. I’m just getting in to 3D printing and have spent a little bit of time hunting for this type of information already. I’ve had to stick to star ratings on vendor sites so far.

• What are the physical properties it would be useful to track?
• How are they measured/which standard is being followed?
• How do they relate to practical matters like ideal extruder temperature and velocities for particular properties or effects?
