[Blog] OctoPrint On Air #31 (Patreon)

OctoPrint On Air #31

The thirtyfirst episode of a monthly dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which aired live on May 8th 2020. My Patrons can submit questions to answer during the Q&A session via a Google Form before and - usually ;) - also live during the broadcast via the chat. Expect more videos like that roughly on a monthly schedule. If you want to attend the live broadcast and ask questions beforehand or live on air, consider becoming a Patron on Patreon and selecting one of the corresponding perks - that will also help me with continuing to work on OctoPrint full time, which I love doing!

Aren't you tempted at times to leave OctoPrint behind and do something else?" 00:40:39 "I saw something pass by on twitter quickly the other day about you having a new sponsor. Can you elaborate on those news a bit?" 00:42:07 "Having had to work from home for an extended period of time recently (like a lot of people I think), I have a new appreciation for the challenges this can pose when coding. Especially with cats afoot. Do you miss having a dedicate office space? Not the boss & colleagues and internal politics of it all, but just the 'I'm working outside of home' factor." 00:48:55 "What is the status of updating the Display Layer Progress plugin, do you know?"
