[Blog] OctoPrint On Air #33 (Patreon)

OctoPrint On Air #33

The thirty-third episode of a monthly dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which aired live on July 24th 2020. Apologies in advance for the slight audio issues here and there, I sadly had some troubles with my mic levels that I noticed too late. My Patrons can submit questions to answer during the Q&A session via a Google Form before and 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!
