Hi tinkergnome,
I've recently started printing with Octoprint. I'm directly using web interface without touchUI and additional screen. The firmware works really well with all the tuning options in LCD. The only main options missing are abort and pause. I'm trying to be able to abort print from the LCD menu.
I did some searching and it seems impossible to communicate back to Octoprint for these commands. But could there be a work around such as telling the printer to disconnect from Octoprint/USB so the printer act like abort print?
Thanks a lot!
Ryan

Should also add that you get better quality prints as well (at least I do) as it allows PID bed heating instead of "bang bang". For me this got rid of banding completely

tinker is correct but I'll say it another way. Cura has this concept of line width, layer height, move distance. It uses these three numbers to calculate the volume of a cuboid - very simple - just

Hi,
we have a UM2 at our company and I am thinking about switching it to the Tinker firmware.
Just two quick questions:
Does the FW play more nicely with octoprint than the original firmware?
And does it print Ultimaker GCode files from SD card?
The original only interpreted the Ultimaker GCode prefix if it was started from the LCD print menu.
If the Tinker FW solved these two issues it would be the icing on the cake with all features it brings along anyway.
