Forced to upload a picture is because you chose the wrong post type.

I got caught by that when I started using Voyager.

Yeh - hyphen are superfluous.

I’m old… Reckon I have been secretly doing the dd on my own head… Or too much powershell in the day job.

Eta: the hyphens are there to stop the unwise copypastaing the code and trashing their system - that’s my other excuse and I am sticking to it!

And definitely don’t mention the

dd -if /dev/urandom -of /dev/sda

I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it…

drawings do not exploit anyone.

Hmmm. I think you will find in many jurisdictions that they are treated as if they do.

Guys

Problem solved - nope, let’s be honest worked around.

You know that saying in Technology & Design “never update the software” with respect to CNC machines etc.?

well it seems if I install the latest and greatest from XYZ the printer is not recognised. If I keep the original versions everything works (whatever version of windows is installed). So now I have to work out a way of stopping the auto-update…

Now that is something I wouldn’t have thought about.

Will try it and see - anything is worth a go!

Tried that - no difference.

Tried setting com port and baud rate in Cura environment for USB Printing NG plug in. No joy (though monitor in Cura stops complaining the printer is offline, it won’t do things like pre-heat the head)

Real head scratcher.

Nope - that’s the one thing I didn’t do (because 3D maker worked with out it)

Thanks for the reminder though - I will try that in the morning.
