This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Too bad it should be the simplest way to add wifi file transfer to a 3d printer
If you're interested and can get your hands on some kind of SBC (like a raspberry pi) Klipper has been amazing for my printer. You can also use pretty much any computer but it'll be much less efficient energy wise.
Nah I just want something as simple as a wifi sd card
I'd rather just have an ethernet port on the damn printer. You shouldn't have to cludge together basic network device functionality on devices that expensive
It's better to just install klipper on a pi or other SBC
At least my 3d printer was so inexpensive it's silly.
I'm pretty happy that the engineering team that built it doesn't need to worry about networking code and maintaining a networked device. Jappy that an open source community does it instead.
