Thank you for the work and research. I'm going to give this a shot on my ender 5.

If I'm using a USB to serial cable (one side have micro usb connector and other side have 4pin RX,TX,GND,VCC)instead of soldering it directly to the board then RX and TX work with ESP 8266 board? Please reply soon 🙏

Hi, nice project! I just wanted to ask if you could share the source code of your web dashboard or if we can add our own functions for example preheat the printer (I know you could just do that with a gcode command in the console but that's not that elegant.) And I just discovered there are pins for a filament runout sensor on the board so why not use it's 5v? Or is there any complications with that. But anyway thanks for this nice project.

Great job bro thanks for your time to sharing this video with us

Great job on the video!! Think it would be possible to use an esp32 with camera for a monitor the print?

Silly question, when connecting tx and rx, I should connect esp tx to printer rx and esp rx to printer tx right? Or am I getting confused?

Fantastic project. I'd suggest you to create a micro usb stick that connects to the external usb port of the ender 3. This avoids soldering. Just plug and play. Adding video using an Esp32 cam would be perfect. Will replace octopi for 99% of the use cases.

@@MrDIYca Yes, I agree. Here we have a printer (Hellnot Magna 2 dual) with a built-in esp12 module. Wireless performance is quite poor, both in terms of the transfer speed of the .stl and the reliability of the received file (prints never turned out well using .stl transmitted over wifi). I assume this is because the esp12 is inside the metal chassis and there should be no error checking mechanism. On the other hand, prints from files on SD card (not wifi) come out very well. Your project is an incentive to go back over this feature of the printer and try to improve it. Thanks again!
