#q1pro — Public Fediverse posts

#3DPrinting folks, I am writing because I wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to run an STL file and convert it in to a GCODE specifically to make it possible to run the calibration tests on the #Qidi #Q1Pro? Its hard to run the calibration tests if you can't see the screen, and because I am #Blind, its doubly hard to be able to run the calibration without sighted assistance so I am trying to find an easier way to do this and I figured people might have come up with easier ways just in case you don't have access to the screen or just don't feel like getting up tomanually use the screen to print.

#3DPrinting folks, particularly anyone who might know #Python, I am looking in to possibly finding a way to make it possible to create a custom version of Klipperscreen that would be able to interact with the Orka Screenreader for linux. You see, the goal is to make it possible for a #Blind person to be able to use the touch screen of a printer like the #Qidi #Q1Pro for example without having to rely on Octoprint or other types of software to control there printer, instead using there printer directly via the touch screen alone. I don't know how possible this would actually be. I am thinking perhaps creating a UI that would be able to interact with the event handling for klipperscreen andseeing if it would be possible for Orka to interact with those events and read them out if they were properly labeled for acccessibility. Not sure how possible this is, but I figured I'd ask anyone more experienced if this is just a pie in the sky idea or not. Both Orka and Klipperscreen are created using Python, so I don't see how it couldn't be possible, Orka is pretty small, so it might not even be a strain on the resources of the printer.

Here's the situation for those who are interested, I have #OctoPrint for windows, I have been trying to connect it via #Moonraker as the bridge to my #Q1Pro which you might think would be easy, but it isn't. Why? Because, when I connect via my IP Address and port 7125, it resolves and I can load it just fine on my browser, but octoPrint can't connect to it, so #Moonraker works just fine and I have API access, but nope, fucking #OctoPrint just doesn't want to play ball and connect to it when I go in to the server settings. #3DPrinting literally any help would be appreciated, I just want to use my Printer accessibly as a #Blind person, but apparently that is too much to ask out of OctoPrint.
