    @brenda sorry for the crappy lighting but for sense of scale, I put it next to a house key.

      @brenda I am going to print a papa and some babies. We will have our own little family of froggos. But without the mess of biology getting in the way. 😉

        We can use that image to 3D print a key to your house.

              *Picks up microphone

              "Brenda, on behalf of all the people at TNCR, past, present and anonymous, let me express my gratitude for all the hard and noble work you've done with the froggos. You've not only given them a save place to grow, but also provided us with many hours of (virtual) enjoyment with your pictures.

              You are a treasure, and the froggos are grateful as well!"

                    I am currently printing a 200% size froggo in what is labeled as "fast color changing" rainbow filament. I don't think it is changing color fast enough for this print job. I will probably end up with a golden froggo.

                    I took a short video of it being printed...

                    Link to video

                    It has about 2 hours remaining on the print job. The total print time is 6.5 hours

                                    @mark Fun froggo family you've got, Mark. 🙂

                                    Your ghost ship looks like it belongs in an aquarium with lots of tropical fish swimming in and around it.

                                      The 26 hour ghost ship print failed about 1/4 of the way through. Corrupted G-Code it seems. I will try again someday but I have other projects in mind first.

                                      This is the current print happening right now. It has about a 13.5 hour print time. It is a case for a Raspberry Pi 4b 4GB with a HyperPixel 4 capacitive touch screen. I am going to use it for the Octoprint app running under Linux to remotely monitor and control the 3D printer. The system will have a hi-res camera watching the print bed. It will ride along the Z axis so I can monitor the nozzle visually anytime during a print.

                                      Rasberry-Pi4b-Hyper-Pixel4-Case-All-In-one.png

                                      I laid all three parts out to print at the same time. It downloads as three separate files.

                                      I am printing it in Jet Black.

                                        The Raspberry Pi case turned out good after a couple of failed attempts to print everything at once. I separated them into 3 different print jobs and it worked much better. Not crazy about the case design.

                                        In the latest development, the Raspberry Pi is now feeding the printer and streaming video of the process.

                                        alt text

                                        I worked on the Raspberry Pi and the HQ raspiCamera until 3:00 am this morning. The time involved included the fact that I was attempting to install a cooling fan which involved some soldering. But then the supports for the fan broke off in the case, and a few choice words were spoken. De-soldered. No fan for now. Installed heatsinks. I tried for a long time to get Octoprint to work with the camera, but I ended up frustrated and decided to go with the mjpg_streamer method. The process involved compiling mjpg_streamer and creating a script so it auto starts on boot. Yes, that was easier then getting Octoprint to see this camera. lol I could find very little out there about it.

                                        In any browser on my LAN, I enter http://raspberrypi.local:8080/stream_simple.html

                                        The first print I did with the Octoprint controlling things was of course an articulated octopus.

                                          The Raspberry Pi case turned out good after a couple of failed attempts to print everything at once. I separated them into 3 different print jobs and it worked much better. Not crazy about the case design.

                                          In the latest development, the Raspberry Pi is now feeding the printer and streaming video of the process.

                                          I worked on the Raspberry Pi and the HQ raspiCamera until 3:00 am this morning. The time involved included the fact that I was attempting to install a cooling fan which involved some soldering. But then the supports for the fan broke off in the case, and a few choice words were spoken. De-soldered. No fan for now. Installed heatsinks. I tried for a long time to get Octoprint to work with the camera, but I ended up frustrated and decided to go with the mjpg_streamer method. The process involved compiling mjpg_streamer and creating a script so it auto starts on boot. Yes, that was easier then getting Octoprint to see this camera. lol I could find very little out there about it.

                                          In any browser on my LAN, I enter http://raspberrypi.local:8080/stream_simple.html

                                          The first print I did with the Octoprint controlling things was of course an articulated octopus.
