This right here. I have a crappy mono price 3d printer that I've hooked up to a belkin outlet that I can turn off. I point one of my cameras at it and check in on long prints and am able to cut the power if I notice a bad print job. It's pretty handy and helps me rest easy knowing I have one more way to prevent a fire.
- traverseda 3y agoI think just cutting the power like that can lead to melt zone creep and nozzle clogs, especially with higher temperature filaments. If you're not experiencing that though it's probably fine. Maybe toggle the power on and off so the hotend fan continues to work.
- xeromal 3y agoI only have the switch for when there's an emergency or a print is going crazy and I'm too far away to go fix it. Pretty much the last resort option. I've never even needed to use it
