[Blog] OctoPrint On Air #36 (Patreon)

OctoPrint On Air #36

The thirty-sixth episode of a monthly dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which aired live on December 11th 2020. My Patrons can submit questions to answer during the Q&A session via a Google Form before and 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!

Would you mind sharing some stats/infos about how many/what kind of reports you got regarding unsecured octoprint instances on the internet?" 00:33:33 "You recently changed the versioning system - which is great - but I seem to always forget to check where the various roadmap items will be. Do you have a list of features ordered by priority of development available somewhere?" 00:37:27 "Creality is coming out with their own Creality-branded Pi + Octoprint "black box". Have they been in touch with you, or have you reached out to them after finding out? What has that interaction yielded, if anything?" 00:39:23 "First off, THANK YOU for all your efforts. My question relates to the relationship between OctoPrint and Marlin. Are there any changes/additions to Marlin that would improve OctoPrint?" 00:44:58 "Does the unique instance count on the data site just mean running instances? I'd love to see printing vs idle!" 00:46:01 "Do you track all printer commands [edit: print job results], even virtual printer or Octolapse in test mode? I cancel a lot of those after I see what I want to see" 00:48:16 Wrap up
