This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I recently looked into them. They seem shit. Dodgey outdated apps to make them work and such.
Too bad it should be the simplest way to add wifi file transfer to a 3d printer
I'd rather just have an ethernet port on the damn printer. You shouldn't have to cludge together basic network device functionality on devices that expensive
It's better to just install klipper on a pi or other SBC
At least my 3d printer was so inexpensive it's silly.
I'm pretty happy that the engineering team that built it doesn't need to worry about networking code and maintaining a networked device. Jappy that an open source community does it instead.
If you're interested and can get your hands on some kind of SBC (like a raspberry pi) Klipper has been amazing for my printer. You can also use pretty much any computer but it'll be much less efficient energy wise.
Does the printer need to be runing custom firmware for klipper or is it just on the external device? I have been running octoprint for a while now without much issue.
Nah I just want something as simple as a wifi sd card
That's another reason why they're kinda dead now. Closeted apps they have to maintain just to keep that garden walled, and it was a cost they decided they also didn't want to spend.
I tried them with a few different cameras. They sucked. They wouldn't reliably connect to Wi-Fi, and they didn't reliably upload images.
