I use a 3D printer all the time, but I almost never print a file more than once. It also takes a couple of seconds to select a file with the built-in interface, and then it usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a day or more to print. What's your usage model that putting a GPT4 instance between you and the printer is somehow helping things? This feels like someone saying "Now I can e-mail my kleenex box to see how much kleenex it has."
- stavros 3y agoI had some small prints that took ten minutes each, that I needed a lot of, so I figured it would be nice to talk to my ESP box and have it launch prints.
- mechagodzilla 3y agoCan you not plate multiple copies of it that print at the same time? Usually you need to remove the finished print, clean the build plate etc. between prints, so longer total print times between 'overhead' periods increases your productivity significantly. It seems like a neat demo to be able to say "Print another one" verbally after spending a few minutes physically doing things to re-prep the machine, but not actually more productive than pressing the 'print again' button that shows up on the menu on mine.
- stavros 3y agoI can, but I didn't know how many I'd need beforehand, and multiple copies increase the chance of failure (if one fails, the whole plate is trash).
