[Blog] OctoPrint On Air #24 (Patreon)

OctoPrint On Air #24

The twenty fourth episode of a monthly dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which aired live on June 8th 2019. My Patrons can submit questions to answer during the Q&A session via a Google Form before and - usually ;) - also live during the broadcast via the chat. Expect more videos like that roughly on a monthly schedule. If you want to attend the live broadcast and ask questions beforehand or live on air, consider becoming a Patron on Patreon and selecting one of the corresponding perks - that will also help me with continuing to work on OctoPrint full time, which I love doing!

I am building a firmware (Marlin-based) and I struggle with that. If I take the initiative to specify a new G-Code (and a protocol), would you be interested?" 00:39:57 John: "If I have version 1.3.11rc3 running, should I replace it with 1.3.11?" Wrap-up @ 00:42:47
