 == Usage and Workflow ==
-The 3D printer is controlled via the desktop computer set up next to it. The basic workflow is this:
+The Creality printer is controlled via [[tools/3D_Printing/OctoPrint|OctoPrint]] running on a Raspberry Pi set up next to it. The basic workflow is this:
-# Take a 3D model and convert it to an STL file.
+# Convert 3D model or download an STL file.
-# The STL file then must be converted to GCode.
+# "Slice" the STL file to generate GCode.
-# The GCode is sent to the printer for printing.
+# Upload the GCode to Octoprint and print.
 === 3D Modeling/STL creation ===
-We have three CAD programs installed for creating 3D models. Two rely on the principle of [[wp>Constructive solid geometry|Constructive Solid Geometry]] (CSG).
+We currently recommend [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview Fusion 360] for creating 3D models. It offers a [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal free license for hobbyist use].
+Other options which are FOSS include:
 * [http://openscad.org/ OpenSCAD] is the more mature of the two programs. It uses a scripting language to define a model using CSG.
 * [http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/antimony/3/ Antimony] is a new program, released in Spring 2015 as a visual approach to CSG. While it is easier to use, its STL export is considerably cruder (it uses a naive algorithm for creating models).

-== Webcam Access ==
-There are three options to access the webcam to view 3D prints in progress.
-* Static View: [http://216.252.200.71:65413/cgi-bin/CGIStream.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=Snap&pwd=123snap! Click Here] (This does not work on Hacksburg WiFi, refresh the page for an updated image.
-* Basic Stream:
-*# Open VLC and navigate to Tools>Preferences.
-*# In the bottom left corner of the Preferences window under "Show Settings" click the "All" option.
-*# In the search box, type "Image Demuxer" and select the "Image" option.
-*# Change the "Duration in Seconds" option to 1.00 seconds and click save.
-*# Turn on looping.
-*# Select Media>"Open a Network Stream" and type <nowiki>http://216.252.200.71:65413//cgi-bin/CGIStream.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&amp;usr=Snap&amp;pwd=123snap!</nowiki> into the Network URL box.
-*# Click Play and the video should begin playing at ~1 FPS
-*# '''Note:''' This method is a workaround if you do not wish to install the IPCWebComponents.exe required for full camera control. That method provides better video quality and the option to pan/tilt/zoom.
-* Full Control: [http://216.252.200.71:65413 Click Here] Visit from Internet Explorer initially to download and install IPCWebComponents.exe. The interface can then be accessed from other browsers (does not appear to work in Firefox).
