Figure out giving people access to 3d printers remotely #1477

Closed MatthewCroughan closed 2 years ago

@hicarty who comes to DoES made this issue here (wrong place) https://github.com/MatthewCroughan/octobalena/issues/12

Though it brings up the question of how we securely allow people access to devices such as the printers moving forward.

Firstly, the printers need to be more reliable devices that actually can be used reliably remotely. Maybe it will never be the case that they can truly be utilised this way, but I want to give it a try.

@ajlennon has bought one of the stickier microporous beds which gives it far more predictable, reliable sticking behaviour. Now, as long as the part is actually printable, the only variables that we have to consider that can actually make a print fail are:

I think we can offer printer profiles for Cura that will make a print a lot more likely to succeed. If we standardise this, people have to think less and we can debug mistakes faster. We end up helping people with prints and slicing a lot anyway, this would just be a way of making things easier to help with, if we absolutely know the environment and settings they are slicing with.

To do this, we need:

Without this, prints are just going to fail all the time for reasons we will conflate with other factors such as bed levelling or something unrelated. The stricter we are about this, the better it will be for everyone wanting productivity out of the printers.

1347 will also help with this endeavor.

Additionally, the auto bed leveling probe I added to most of the creality printers in #1396 helps produce more consistent behavior when printing, and we can generate a bed level topography in Octoprint to show people how bad/good the bed is.
