What's the best way to check on the status of the print without using Cura? I don't like to keep Cura open because it makes my PC spin up loud, but I'd like to know time remaining, temperatures, etc. I got the webcam streaming in a browser, so that's not a problem. I can get the times with a bit of work using [ip address]/api/v1/print_job but I have to do calculations to change the seconds into hours, % remaining, etc. And I can find temperatures in a similar way, but again not very user friendly. Has somebody made a script or applet that does this?

Thanks. That works.

This method doesn't seem to work (anymore?). UM3, firmware 3.6.2.20170322. Unless I'm doing it wrong.... http://[ip address]/?action=stream just redirects to http://[ip address]/start.html and prompts for the Welcome to Ultimaker 3. Camera streams OK to Cura though.

Has anybody tried ETHY-LAY or similar support material (alcohol soluble)? Thoughts or advice? Any suggestions about do/don'ts or good/bad primary material combos? How about with Polycarbonate? https://www.matterhackers.com/store/3d-printer-filament/lay-away-ethy-lay-support-filament-3.00mm

@kmanstudios Maybe this question can be moved to another forum category for more response?

Somebody above said I have the same question.

I'd like to hear answers/comments on this too. My first print with PC/PVA on UM3 didn't go well. PVA doesn't seem to adhere to PC.
