My setup:-

It's a Galaxy Tab. Printer runs via an RPI running OctaPrint, so the tab just acts as a web interface to control the printer.
Are you just running the touchUI plugin? The layout just looked different.
Anyway, looks a neat setup.

Ahh sorry, yeah that was printoid
I'm a bit of a noob at all this 3D printing lark. I'm printing in PLA with no heated bed and I was wondering if printing in the garage (read not very warm) is a bad idea? I have enough trouble with things sticking to the bed as it is and was wondering if the lower ambient temperature would be a bad thing.
TIA for your thoughts

What about if you built an insulated cabinet around the printer to help negate the fact the garage isn't heated?
The wife has told me I need to move my printer from the kitchen table to the garage, its a CR10s with a heated bed, am thinking I'll make an enclosure first to house it in - will this be sufficient or do I need to look at alternative options?

Change of plan, printer now installed in my office bedroom.
Another question PLA, does it retain the same properties once it's been extruded?
Am doing a few pieces that will be used outside and just wondered how long they'd last outside of made out of pla.

A lot of filaments will deform if we have a properly hot summer and exposed to direct sunlight for any length of time.

Ok thanks for the replies, have printed some bits off so will see how they go.
I've decided after a weekend of printing I need the printer quieter (CR10S), so have ordered dampeners and am looking to replace all the fans.

If you bake the prints first it will last longer outside or even print in Polycarbonate or HI temp ABS. PLA is useless outside.
I did this and took them off not long after. They flex which means the stepper motor doesn't sit in the right position, that makes the belt move and catch as well as making it difficult to set the right belt tension. They do make it super quiet though.
