Network Printers

[curious aardvark]

Well I was mooching around on the interweb on my phone over the weekend.
And i did find what I was looking for.
It's a combination of custom firmware for the esp mosule and a custom web front end.

Now i just need to find it again lol

But it's out there and it does what i want it to do.
Not sure, but I think it did mention something about a camera.

Now i just need to remember what I put in the search box :-)
Hmm wonder oif chrome has a web history....

why yes it does :-)
You're looking for: ESP3D - https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D
I know - it's github. Never was a website more aptly named.

Why do they make it so hard to find stuff ?

Note: MKS fast upload protocol is implemented but it works only with Mks Boards

Good to know :-)

Well of course it's not that easy. What was I thinking ?

Yoiu have to mucj about with IDE and compile the bloody thing. As far as I can tell NOBODY has ever posted the precompiled binary files.
Now IDE and I have a hate hate relationship.
I hate it, it hates me and I have a mperfect 100% failure rate with it. Either the poxy thing doesn't coimpile and spouts a vague and impossible to track down error. OR once in a blue moon it will actually geberate a binary file.
Which - of course - fails utterly to do anything you wanted it to do.

I mean between github(the worst laid out website in internet history) and IDE - I'm starting to think someone is trying to tell me something...

So anyway I've posted a thread on the sapphire pro facebook group and have my fingers crossed that someone has already done this thing and can give me the binary and config files.
I'm prepared to wait before fighting IDE and risking terminal blood pressure !
