Send Gcode directly to the AnkerMake M5C via WLan?  

AnkerMake is one of the presets offered by the wizard - I haven't tried it.

Cheerio,

I know that the AnkerMake M5 (without "C") is better supported. But I have the M5C.

Do you know how I can configure it that the AnkerMake M5C would be used as WLan printer?

I expect they are largely compatible, it doesn't make sense for the software to drift too far.

No idea, the usual answer with new printers is 'Not possible' then a few months later everything handles it. However Lan 3D printing is usually a mistake.

There is a strong correlation between people attempting to print remotely and basic printing problems - because remote printing *causes* problems.  It makes some sense for those running print farms who have attendants loading the machines and removing prints but for hobbyists and sole traders it's just another source of trouble.

You have to load the printer with the desired filaments by hand, this is the time to start your print.

If you wait, leaving the printer loaded before you begin, the filament has time to absorb water and deteriorate. If the filament is not absolutely dry when the print starts you will get steam induced oozing at the nozzle. This causes first layer problems and extrusion issues which you can't fix because you are away from the printer and finally it causes stringing.

If you had started the print as soon as you loaded properly dried filament none of these problems would occur (unless a very long print in humid conditions when atmospheric water might be absorbed faster than the printer can use the filament and so begin stringing.)

So: unless your printer is in a climate controlled workspace, don't do it.

Cheerio,

Hi,

Is it a problem with PLA to use it open from the roll for 1 week? Do you repack the PLA after each use?

Printing via WLan works very well with the M5C. In the case of the AnkerMake Studio, the Gcode is first sent in full and only then is the actual printing started. But unfortunately, the AnkerMake Studio lacks many functionalities, so I would prefer to switch completely to the PrusaSlice.

But with the PrusaSlicer, I have to plug my cell phone into the laptop every time and send the Gcode from the laptop to the printer via an AnkerMake cell phone app. It would be great if I could do this directly from PrusaSlicer.
