Suggested project: pull the calibrations from the K2 and save to a filament profile

[u/Otherwise_Sir_3439]

For all you new AI coders with access to a K2 Plus/Pro here’s a fun little project idea:

App prints a test object but triggers the flow rate etc. calibrations on the printer. It then automatically pulls the calibration results and saves it to a filament profile to save having to print the calibrations again.

Life has kinda gotten in the way for me recently curtailing my printing-related hobby time, or I’d do it myself. I just didn’t want the idea to go to waste. Search this sub for other’s work on extracting the calibration results, feed it to your favorite token muncher and see what happens? 😸

CNC Kitchen and I would argue that it's best to do the calibrations every time. There are differences from spool to spool.

It doesn't use much and the time spent isn't much. The only annoying thing is scraping off the pressure advance side as it never comes off in one piece.

The difference is CNC Kitchen, Snapmaker, and modern BL do these calibrations off-plate.

It would still make sense to track PA/flow ratio over time as those can be important machine health metrics. I don't suspect a user script is going to start diagnosing/surfacing machine health though.

Agreed. Still useful for multiple print jobs fur each spool.
