What is better than printing a pi cup with your 3d printer on pi day?
Printing it wirelessly using the raspberry pi & monitoring it remotely. Love the Octopi to monitor the 3d printer remotely. I can use the raspberry pi camera to see its progress too!
My daughter had a party at my house. Two of the teenagers who came attended the class I taught at the library. It has been 6 months since that time. I asked them if they had been doing anything with the raspberry pi's. One shook her head no. The other one did too and then paused and said that he had. He just helped another wire the light switch so when it was turned on it played Jazz music on the surround sound in the room. Which got annoying after awhile, so he changed it to play different genres of music now.
I showed the two how I setup my 3d printer to run wirelessly using the pi. I had to smile that these two teens stopped and chatted with me while the rest of the party was playing games in the basement of my home. Sometimes the best teaching moments are the ones not scheduled.
