Am Samstag kommt mein #Anycubic Kobra X 🎇
#Anycubic fixed the #KobraX firmware with version 1.2.0.2. You now no longer need an active internet connection just for NTP to get it working in LAN mode. I have just firewalled mine completely and it still works with the Anycubic slicer. Yay 🎉

Seeing some connections to NTP servers that are way closer, so the implementation probably isn't as bad as I initially thought.

Regardless, I have now fixed the DNAT configuration, so NTP requests are handled within my network. The #Anycubic #KobraX doesn't have #Internet connection but still works just fine.

All left to do now is to bug Anycubic about DHCP option 42. 😁

Allright, so let's see which nasty things the #Anycubic #KobraX is doing, network-wise. This is going to be a thread.

Okay, so it seems that the #Anycubic #KobraX doesn't like to be without Internet connection. Although it's in LAN mode, I still can't access it.

Current working theory is that it simply has no #NTP. Let's hope that this is all, can't have a printer that doesn't work without Internet.

Of course the #Anycubic #3dprinter will extort you into installing their app and creating an account for a #firmware #update

It doesn't start well with my new #3dprinter

The #Anycubic #KobraX allows a maximum length of 32 for WIFI PSKs.

So I have to deploy an extra SSID, just for that stupid thing. 😩

@afterdesign @hrw sure. But remember, experience with 3D printing as a whole, craftiness of person interested and financial constraints can change a lot for recommendations.

#Prusa is always a good bet, and being a Czech company, you can always take the printer, ride to their HQ and throw it at their face if you're not happy with your purchase. My i3 Mk3S+ has taken a lot of beating for the past 5 years and is still very reliable. Their CORE One+ (referral link) I consider as the best general choice currently. This one I was considering to buy lately as an upgrade for myself.

At the moment, my plan is to build myself
VORON2.4. I will take some parts from my Frankensteined Prusa, buy what I need, and voilà! A 3D printer which is exact dimensions I can fit and with most if not all features I want. I feel confident I can pull off this build, though I don't know how you'll fill about it.

For cheaper options, I've heard a lot of good opinions about
#Anycubic #Kobra lineup, and currently their Kobra S1 is on sale for just €349. Unfortunately I don't have much more to say about it, as it never was an appealing option for me. Just heard multiple colleagues of mine praising its quality to price ratio.

Ještě update: zdá se, že #OpenWRT vyřešilo problémy s připojováním 3d tiskárny #Anycubic S1 a #Moonlight #streaming

Vlastně nechápu, že mi tenhle tah trval až takhle dlouho...
