First off, whats with the limited reactions to posts? Ridiculous. Second, The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Telling me that I have to operate on a network that I have no physical access to is essentially extortion, even if the Digital Factory has a free option, I'm operating on a clean sterile local network at a worksite that has sketchy internet access anyway. My supervisor is the guy that cancels prints and checks on them after hours, since I don't have that kind of clearance. I've lost my reprint commands in the Management Console, which means I essentially have to recompile all my gcode for many of my products, almost each and every time I want to print. If we wanted the Digital Factory, we would have signed up for it. This reeks of the Hasbro and WoTC scandal earlier this year, when they attempted to pull an OGL update that attempted to funnel TTRPG players into their ONED&D architecture. Why would ANYBODY think it was a good idea to remove a reprint option or a video monitoring system that functioned pretty well on the hardware that these printers have, to save the hardware? It doesn't make any sense, UNLESS you added some crazy features that need additional computational power AT ALL moments of the printing process. Is that what happened? Are there new and totally useful features in the update that we haven't been notified of? I stand with rachael7 and MaxD and the many others that we used these features regularly and at least for me, this update crippled at least a day of my workload, just from the losing the reprint option in Management Console, and the feastures that came with Local Network Functionalilty. These are pretty great printers, and I've had a lot less problems with them than my supervisor who really hates them and wants to just smash them and buy competitor products. Now I have to spend my time reverting back to the previous firmware so that my supervisor doesn't flip a lid when he finds out that we lost our main functions.
