Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-10-16

Final complete day: 2026-10-16. Attention was 0.3% — this entity appeared in 32 of 12,303 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (39 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   If you just want a working basic set they still sell sanguinololus or ramps+arduino megas. If it just burnt out the high current connectors it might be fixable though if it speaks to a pc on usb anyhow. But regardless theres a decade of surplus of various boards on aliexpress etc so thats what you could look at. Or a klipper combo. Just take a look around. Ramps with marlin is pretty decent and you really can't be the price when you can often find them with a lcd in the bundle for 20-30 bucks(pre whatever tax you'd have). The motors and heaters are most certainly ok, the parts that blow on boards most commonly are the stepper drivers.

   Live G-code patching for 3d printers. - **The Idea: Live G-code Patching for 3D Printers** What if you could change slicer settings mid-print without stopping or restarting? The concept is a middleman program (running on a PC or Raspberry Pi alongside OctoPrint) that holds the full G-code file in memory and streams it to the printer line by line. When you change a setting like retraction length or print speed, the program re-slices the remaining layers with the new setting, then compares the new G-code against the old one. It identifies the exact point in the file where the printer currently is (based on layer height and buffer position), then swaps out only the un-sent portion of the G-code. The printer never stops because the swap happens while the printer is still consuming commands already in its buffer. The result is a seamless transition to the new settings, no pause, no restart, and no wasted filament. This would be especially useful for tuning retraction, speed, or flow on the fly without committing to a full reprint. It doesn't exist yet, but the components do: OctoPrint has an API, slicers like OrcaSlicer have command-line interfaces, and Python can glue it all together. I am just not a programmer or anything of the sort. i dont know how to code either so thats why im posting here. anyone who could build this for me i would really like to see it happen. i am also a financially challenged individual(aka im broke) so i couldnt pay but i really think the idea is solid.

   I will be including everything needed. I'm an engineer not a coder so I did use some vibe coding to get the project done but I know enough to not put out complete garbage so I'm working through bugs and issues that are coming up. I want this to be as easy as possible for people to run themselves. I'm using an Arduino pro micro so it does need to stay connected to a PC for updates. I do plan on making a version with a pico w or esp so it can use wifi and ditch the PC connection.

   For designing or modifying models you need a PC or at least a tablet (better a PC), and regarding the software I do not recommend TinkerCAD anymore, but layerling.com instead. It's like TinkerCAD, but better.

   So sad, that PC building is so expensive now, that people need to 3D print their own RAM
