I’d rather just have an ethernet port on the damn printer. You shouldn’t have to cludge together basic network device functionality on devices that expensive
At least my 3d printer was so inexpensive it’s silly.
I’m pretty happy that the engineering team that built it doesn’t need to worry about networking code and maintaining a networked device. Jappy that an open source community does it instead.
If you’re interested and can get your hands on some kind of SBC (like a raspberry pi) Klipper has been amazing for my printer. You can also use pretty much any computer but it’ll be much less efficient energy wise.
Does the printer need to be runing custom firmware for klipper or is it just on the external device? I have been running octoprint for a while now without much issue.
Too bad it should be the simplest way to add wifi file transfer to a 3d printer

It’s better to just install klipper on a pi or other SBC

Nah I just want something as simple as a wifi sd card
