Wireless printing

I would love to wirelessly print and put this in the garage. Also if there was a way to dim the LCD screen so at night it doesn't light up the whole living room.

Hello,
for wireless printing try e.g. the Octoprint, but sure it will be still needed to remove the old print before starting new one personally 🙂
I believe there is a lot of different foils that can be put over the LCD to decrease the brightness.

Milos.

Re: Wireless printing

I use a Raspberry Pi running Octopi / Octoprint for wireless printing. It works reliably across most printers.
As regards light from the LCD, It can be blocked/reduced by say a book leaning against it? Or hacking and reducing the LCD backlight voltage. I would choose hacking always.

If it Isn't already there, you could add a variable resistor to the lcdbacklight. I do not have the printer so I can not be specific.
