I have bought a Creality Ender 3 in December 2020, because I had some time to spend. I have since slightly modded it:

  • Flashed Marlin 4.2.7
  • Installed silent board
  • Orange springs and metal wheels
  • Installed BLTouch - I failed to make it work! I should definitely give it another shot.
  • Home-made direct drive
  • Custom Bullseye fanduct
  • And some decoration !

I have made a public account for my Octoprint instance, credentials are guest / guest . Thus the camera live feed is available for everyone to see.

In the future, I would like to try again to automate the upload of timelapses to Youtube: I had a hard time setting it up, made it almost working (unfortunately uploaded video were not allowed to go public), and I lost the scripts anyway because of a corrupted SD card.

I would also like to experiment with the Twitch API and automate the start of a stream when I start a print.
