OctoPrint On Air #42

The 42nd episode of a regular dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which was recorded on December 7th 2021. 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!

Is there some pain or some moves during your [working] hours where it becomes a distraction?" 00:40:42 "I saw your printed vesa mount options for your third screen. What material and which printer did you use? It's interesting to hear how the mother of octoprint designs and uses printing in her own life, and I'd love to see/hear more of that." 00:50:55 "Can the undervoltage message in OctoPrint be disabled? I've been using this power supply for several years now without issues. […] It's especially annoying that I can't do updates due to this either." 00:56:17 "Probably 80% of time I go to start a print I've uploaded I get a popup window saying I need to confirm which filament I'm using […]" 00:57:33 "Is the new Raspberry PI Zero 2 W powerful enough for OctoPrint?" 00:59:00 "Now that your getting some more stable contributions from other developers (like Charlie Powell), how does it feel to (also) have the role of 'benevolent dictator'?
